With a fund, you invest in several securities at the same time - so the investment is often broadly diversified. A fund manager decides the securities that are included. Funds are therefore actively managed and differ from most ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds), which are usually passively managed. Active management, i.e. administration, is paid for by ongoing costs of the fund.
There are different types of funds:
Equity funds
invest primarily in stocks.
Pension funds
contain fixed-interest securities such as government bonds and corporate bonds.
Real estate funds
focus on commercial real estate such as office buildings, shopping centres, logistics and hotel buildings whether domestic or foreign.
Mixed funds
combine different asset classes.
Risk distribution: Risk minimisation through investment in several securities |
|
Special assets: safeguarding of assets in the event of insolvency of the fund company |
|
Active management: Investment decisions by fund managers |
|
Availability: Easy and short-term trading on the stock exchange |
Costs: Reduced returns due to fees for active asset management |
|
Risk of loss: Market-related fluctuations in securities |
|
Concentration risk: Effects of regional developments in the case of majority investments in certain regions |
|
Liquidity risk: Price fluctuations due to unpredictable market situations |
