Investment funds

Definitions and characteristics

ADVANTAGES

Investment funds reduce their risks by diversifying their investments across asset classes, regions and sectors.

Thanks to the great diversity of mutual funds available on the market, each investor can find a solution that meets the desired investment strategy.

Fund managers are experienced specialists who use their expertise to ensure the fund achieves the best possible performance.

A fund invests in markets that are difficult for private investors to access.

DISADVANTAGES

Investment fund units may only be traded at certain times. The investor is forced to respect those times and is thus limited in his scope of action.

The investor does not have direct control over portfolio management, which may lead to differences with the investor’s expectations.

The management of an investmentfund is remunerated by a management fee, which is usually supplemented by an entry and exit fee.
