The benefits of investment funds

  • Assets in funds are broadly diversified, so in effect you are betting on multiple horses.
  • Funds are extremely easy to trade, and fund shares can be purchased for very little money.
  • There is a suitable investment fund for every personal investment strategy.
  • It can also be sustainable: more and more funds are investing up to 100 percent sustainably.

A pot of money for a very specific purpose

Simply put, a fund is a pot that you fill with money for a specific purpose. For example, an association may open a building fund to finance the construction of its new clubhouse.

The aim of an investment fund is to invest money for investors according to defined rules to generate a long-term increase in assets.

Invest assets as broadly as you wish

When it comes to investing, it's crucial you weigh the opportunities and risks and choose a strategy you feel comfortable with. This is where funds come in. They are the ideal solution: For every strategy there are suitable funds composed of different asset classes. Funds can include stocks, bonds, real estate and precious metals, to name just the main types.
