The Greek word synonym is broken down into "syn" meaning united and "nym" meaning name.  Like a synonym, investonym is the name of real investment education. 

At Investonym.com our mission is to provide original content, definitions and commentary on the financial markets which inform, educate and empower our readers. Our site content is all original and written by buy side institutional investment professionals.  Buy side investment professionals are charged with the responsibility of safeguarding assets (a.k.a. preserving capital) and achieving reasonable returns.  Our goal is to allow everyone to gain some knowledge in order to make informed decisions. We designed this site in order to "level the playing field" and help out investors from the novice to the seasoned professional (we all need help from time to time).  We write with an occasional tongue in cheek style to keep heavy subjects light and make the information easy to remember. 

Our contributors are active in the institutional investment community and have expertise across the global markets.  It is our sincere hope to educate our users and provide original insightful content to make your investing lives better. We do not sell or recommend any financial products for your purchase.  We may mention specific markets, products or securities in our articles or definitions, but this mention is for explanation purposes and in no way is a recommendation (please see our disclaimer for more information).  In the very rare instance that we mention a specific security that anyone at investonym owns, we disclose that ownership vigorously and boldly.  Most importantly, you must always do your own homework and original thinking before buying or selling any investments. 

Thank you for visiting our site. We hope to help you understand the complicated world of investing a little better.  Please think of us as a friend with broad experience in the financial markets that would like to lend a hand.  We hope you will visit us often (please consider adding us to your "favorites" and recommending us to your friends) but most importantly, we wish you the greatest success in your investing efforts.  Start your journey by viewing our articles, browsing our definitions or signing up for our word of the day if you would like to learn a little bit each day.
