I understand the distinction but do not know if there is a standard "investment speak" expression? |

Explanation:
Agree with Amanda.
Have to be careful here to make clear that the "paper" investment is still property / real estate related as distinct from "mobilier".
See GDT deinfition of "immobilier" here, indicating other types of investment in property other than bricks and mortar :
"Note(s) :
L'adjectif immobilier qualifie, dans le domaine du droit, ce qui a le caractère d'un immeuble au sens générique (bien immobilier), ce qui concerne les biens immeubles et ce qui consiste en biens immeubles (saisie immobilière, vente immobilière).
Par extension, l'adjectif immobilier qualifie, dans le domaine du commerce, ce qui concerne les immeubles (crédit immobilier, crise immobilière, capital immobilier). Il peut également qualifier un groupe commercial qui s'occupe de construire des immeubles ou de les vendre, de les acheter, de les louer (agence immobilière, entreprise immobilière, société immobilière).
L'antonyme est l'adjectif mobilier. "
