Term of the Day - term life insurance
A life insurance policy which provides a stated benefit upon the holder's death, provided that the death occurs within a certain specified time period. However, the policy does not provide any returns beyond the stated benefit, unlike an insurance policy which allows investors to share in returns from the insurance company's investment portfolio.

Introduction to Other Investments
Stocks, bonds and mutual funds are the most popular asset classes and therefore get most of the market's attention, but there are other important investment opportunities every investor should know about as well, including options, futures, and currency. Although these investments are complex and usually intended for sophisticated investors, it's worth understanding what they are and how they operate in order to decide if they should play any role in your overall investment strategy.
