The largest part of Apple's investment in recent years was attributed for purchases of marketable securities. However, the marketable securities investment value decreased significantly, from over 166 billion U.S. dollars in 2015, to 39.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2019.
Marketable securities are debts that are to be sold or redeemed within a year. Non-marketable securities are government-issued debt instruments.
