A concept that comes from "equitable claims." Equities are essentially shares of stock. Because they represent a proportional share in the business, they are equitable claims on the business itself.
In share market terms, equities is a synonym for shares and represents part-ownership of a company, as distinct from debt securities such as bonds and debentures. From a business perspective, equities represent the total interests of parties in the assets of that business entity. Lenders and creditors have a 'specific entity', and owners have 'residual' entity.
