- Who is the Asset Classes & Claims poster for?

- When should you use the Asset Classes & Claims poster?
- Equity is ownership. Debt is a promise. The rest sits around those two. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Asset Classes & Claims belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
