Stock Funds

Stock funds invest primarily in stocks. While stocks are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, such as bonds and money market instruments, they have historically provided higher return potential and have outpaced inflation over time.

BB&T stock funds seek to power your portfolio’s long-term growth potential by offering several types of stock funds.

Experienced investors understand that no two sectors of the stock market are alike. True to their inherent differences, each sector may respond differently to changing economic and market conditions. For example, value stocks, which are more cyclical in nature, tend to do well when the economy is growing and interest rates are rising. Growth stocks, which are less tied to the overall economy, tend to outperform value stocks when the economy is slowing and interest rates start to decline. While diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against a loss, diversifying your assets among multiple stock funds may help provide steadier return potential and lower your overall portfolio volatility as gains in one sector may help offset loses in another.
