What's the difference between funds, stocks and futures?
Funds, stocks and futures are three common ways of investment. These three investment methods are different, as follows.

A fund is a kind of investment portfolio managed by a fund company. Investors jointly contribute to buy stocks, bonds and other securities to realize profit distribution. Unlike stocks and futures, funds reduce risks because they can reduce risks by diversifying their investments. The fund is suitable for people who want to make money for a long time. Fund investors also enjoy professional management, reducing the burden on investors.

Stock refers to the securities that investors buy shares in a company, which belongs to long-term investment. The return of stock depends on the company's current and future operating conditions. Although the return risk of stock is high, the return opportunity it provides is correspondingly high. Stock investment can be long-term investment or short-term trading, which is simple to operate and suitable for investors who have certain reserve funds, know something about the company's assets and are willing to take risks.

Futures refers to a contract that both parties agree to buy and sell a certain commodity or securities at a certain time in the future and must be performed before the specified date in the future. The futures market is mainly composed of buyers and sellers of agricultural products, energy and other commodities. The operation of futures needs more professional knowledge and experience, and investors can make profits through short-term and long-term investments. However, the risk of the futures market is also high, because it is difficult to determine the future market price. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully assess risks to prevent losses.
