Fund broadly refers to a certain amount of funds set up for a certain purpose. It mainly includes trust and investment funds, provident funds, insurance funds, retirement funds and funds of various foundations. ETF is translated as "transactional open index fund", also known as exchange traded fund. ETF is an open-end securities investment fund product listed and traded on the exchange, and the trading procedure is exactly the same as that of stocks. The assets managed by ETF are stock portfolios. The types of stocks in this portfolio are the same as those in a specific index, such as the SSE 50 Index, and the number of each stock is consistent with the proportion of the constituent stocks of this index. The transaction price of ETF depends on the value of its stock portfolio, that is, the "net asset value of unit fund". ETF's portfolio usually completely replicates the underlying index, and its net performance is highly consistent with the specific index pegged. For example, the net performance of SSE 50ETF is highly consistent with the rise and fall of SSE 50 index.
Unit Trust is a management company established by a document named trust deed. In terms of organizational structure, it has no board of directors. The fund manager company sets up the fund itself as the entrusting company, and employs the manager to manage the operation and operation of the fund by himself or again. Usually, securities companies or underwriting companies handle the issuance, transaction, transfer, transaction, profit distribution, income and principal and interest repayment and payment of beneficiary certificate fund unit certificates on their behalf. The trustee accepts the entrustment of the fund manager company to register and open an account for the fund in the name of the trustee or trust company. The fund account is completely independent of the account of the fund custody company. Even if the fund custody company goes bankrupt due to poor management, its creditors cannot use the assets of the fund. Its duties are to manage, keep and dispose of the trust property, supervise the investment work of the fund manager, and ensure that the fund manager abides by the investment regulations listed in the prospectus, so as to make its investment portfolio meet the requirements of trust deed. Balanced fund refers to a fund whose investment goal is not only to obtain the current income, but also to pursue the long-term appreciation of the fund assets, and to disperse the funds into stocks and bonds to ensure the safety and profitability of the funds.
