Hello mutual fund: an investment fund managed by financial institutions such as investment trust companies and securities companies. Also known as * * * the same fund. * * * mutual fund (English: Mutual Fund), also called trust funds and investment companies in the United States, is generally translated into mutual funds in Hongkong and * * * Mutual Fund is also used as translation in Taiwan Province Province. In Chinese mainland, ordinary investors do not use the term * * * to refer to funds, but use terms such as investment funds and securities investment funds instead. The niche of this kind of financial products is based on the knowledge and trust of professional financial practitioners, because the general public does not understand many legal and linguistic problems of transnational investment in foreign financial products; There is also no technical analysis ability of professional traders, so paying a little handling fee and handing over the money to a credible team of financial institutions for trading, the public only needs to roughly choose the investment target and risk. * * * A mutual fund is a for-profit company's securities investment fund managed by the fund manager's professional financial practitioners, and publicly raises funds from social investors to invest in the securities market. * * * Purchase stocks, bonds, commercial bills, commodities or derivative financial commodities with the same fund to obtain interest, dividends or capital gains. Because the * * * fund absorbs public funds and operates on the basis of trust in financial institutions to a large extent, there is some room for deliberate fraud or deception (such as the Madoff incident during the financial tsunami), and governments around the world strictly control it. Its establishment, information disclosure, transaction, capital structure change and dissolution are all restricted by laws and regulations, especially in the United States.
