Answer 1

Investable assets include cash, funds in your bank accounts, money held in retirement accounts, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, and insurance contracts with cash value. Excluded from investable assets are those not easily converted to cash, also known as physical or tangible assets.
