Trust fund is a special investment tool. Entrusting investors' funds to professional trust managers for management and operation can obtain more stable investment income. Trust funds operate in a similar way to mutual funds, but trust funds are usually managed by specialized trust companies, paying more attention to risk control and long-term stable return on investment.
What is a trust fund bond? Trust fund bonds are debt instruments issued by trust funds to raise funds and pay fixed interest and principal to investors. The issuers of trust fund bonds can be institutions, financial institutions or enterprises, and trust funds buy these bonds as creditors to obtain stable income.
The characteristics of trust fund bonds are 1. Fixed interest: Trust fund bonds usually have a fixed interest payment period and interest rate, so investors can know the return of principal and interest when the bonds expire at the time of purchase.
2. High yield: Compared with low-risk investment tools such as deposits and government bonds, trust fund bonds tend to have higher yield and attract many investors.
3. Long-term investment: The investment period of trust fund bonds is usually long, and investors need to hold the bonds for a period of time to get all the principal and interest returns.
4. Low risk: As the issuers of trust fund bonds are usually institutions, financial institutions or enterprises, and their repayment ability is relatively strong, the risk of trust fund bonds is low.
The investment mode of trust fund bonds is 1. Direct purchase: investors can directly purchase trust fund bonds through securities companies, banks or trust companies.
2. Indirect investment: If investors do not have enough funds or professional knowledge to make direct investment, they can choose to buy trust funds, and the trust fund manager will invest in trust fund bonds on their behalf.
