    I am sometimes confused with the following terms? Can you please explain their main differences for F9? Can I use them interchangeably?
    1. Financial asset
    2. Capital asset
    3. Financial instrument

    Thanks,

    No you can’t use them interchangeably 🙂

    Financial assets are things like bonds, shares, etc.. that are owned.

    Capital assets are all non-current assets.

    Financial instruments include financial assets but also financial liabilities, equity, and things like futures and options.
