Fund Manager
Explain stocks, bonds, risk and diversification in plain Spanish — and say it aloud.
The pair that unlocks everything is renta fija (fixed income — bonds) versus renta variable (equities). A stock is una acción, a bond un bono, and your portfolio is la cartera — building it is, conversationally, armar la cartera. Describe markets neutrally, the way analysts do: está muy volátil el mercado, and explain diversificación with the proverb Spanish shares with English: no pongas todos los huevos en una canasta.
Below: the financial vocabulary lesson by lesson, how investors actually talk from Mexico City to Buenos Aires, and a way to rehearse explaining it all out loud — no flashcards, no drills.

Olivia
Your vocabulary teacher for this pack
You don't memorize this vocabulary — you use it, out loud, until it holds up under questions. In the Fund Manager lessons, Olivia sits you down for an advisory session: explain the difference between renta fija and renta variable to someone who has never invested, walk through riesgo and rentabilidad without promising anything, and defend why armar la cartera beats betting it all on one acción — in Spanish, in your own words.
Blank mid-sentence and nothing bad happens — she waits. That's the practice, without unnecessary judgement.

Quick answers
Renta fija is fixed income — bonds, where the payment schedule is known; renta variable is equities, where returns move with the market. It's the contrast every Spanish-speaking advisor reaches for first, and confusing the two is the classic slip.
Stock is la acción, bond is el bono, portfolio is la cartera, and a mutual fund is el fondo de inversión. Informally, putting money in the market is meterle a la bolsa in Mexico.
The core terms are el riesgo, la rentabilidad (return), el rendimiento (yield) and la volatilidad. In conversation you'll hear it plainer: a Colombian shrugging eso rinde poquito — that yields very little.
Word for word: no pongas todos los huevos en una canasta — the classic way to explain diversificación. The maintenance side is el rebalanceo; an Argentine investor says tengo que rebalancear la cartera.
Watch for la inflación, la tasa de interés — headlines run el Banco Central subió las tasas — plus la cotización (el peso se cotiza a…) and el índice bursátil. An Argentine checking the close says mirá el índice cómo cerró.
