After the fund expires, investors have the right to distribute the remaining assets.

In foreign countries, stock funds have broken through this restriction, and investors can invest in the stock markets of other countries or regions by purchasing stock funds, which has played a positive role in promoting the internationalization of the securities market. Judging from the current situation of overseas stock markets, a large part of the investment objects of equity funds are foreign company stocks.
