Bonds, Equities, Mutual Funds and Stock Market - What's the difference?

Here’s another question from a confused user in Pesos and Sense Page regarding different types of investments:

Bonds, Equities, Mutual Funds and Stock Market--I'm still confused about the differences among them. May I know what is their main difference from each other?

And here’s a short answer provided by another user (Allan Miranda) in the forum:

Bonds - pautang ng isang institution (like Government or a corporation). Meron na pre-determine interest rate (fixed interest).Equities - parte ng pag-aari ng isang companya, called shares. Walang fixed interest na pwede ibigay ang equity, dahil ang mga company na nagnenegosyo, pwede kumita or malugi ang napili mo equity.Mutual Fund - isang company na registered sa SEC.. Ang tanging pakay ay i-pooled lahat pera ng mga investors (malaki man o maliit), ibigay sa isang fund manager para palaguin depende sa objective ng mutual fund.
Stock Market - heto ang "palengke" or bilihan/bentahan ng mga investors sa mga equity (retail investor like tayo OR institutional investor like a Mutual Fund company).

Ayan, alam nyo na!  J
