Definition of Security

Definition of Security

Security is an asset that is used to guarantee that you will repay a loan. If you don't repay the loan, you lose the asset that was used as security.

For example, when you borrow money to buy a boat, the security is the boat. If you can't pay back the money, then the lender will take the boat and sell it in order to get as much of their money back as possible.

A security is also a term that refers to a legal document that proves your ownership of shares or bonds in a company and states your right to share in the earnings of the company.
