Corporate fund refers to a profit-oriented joint-stock investment company established by investors for the same investment goal, and the assets of the company are invested in securities investment funds. Corporate funds raise funds by issuing stocks, which is an economic organization with legal personality.

When an investor buys a company's stock, he becomes a shareholder of the company, receives dividends or bonuses with the stock, and shares the income from the investment. Corporate fund is a joint-stock investment company with independent legal person status in law. Corporate funds are established according to the articles of association of the fund company. Fund investors are shareholders of the fund company, enjoy the rights of shareholders, bear limited responsibilities, and share the investment income according to the shares they hold.

Basic characteristics of corporate funds:

1. The establishment procedure of the fund is similar to that of a general joint-stock company, and the fund itself is an independent legal person. But unlike common joint-stock companies, it entrusts fund management companies as professional financial consultants or managers to operate and manage fund assets.

2. The organizational structure of the fund is similar to that of a general joint-stock company, with a board of directors and a general meeting of shareholders. Fund assets are owned by the company.
