What is a securities investment fund? What are its characteristics?
Securities investment fund refers to an investment tool that raises funds by selling fund shares, forms independent fund property managed by fund managers and fund custodians, and invests in securities in the form of portfolio. Fund share holders enjoy the benefits and bear the risks according to their shares.

The main way to raise funds is to issue fund bonds to investors, and collect a small amount of funds scattered in the hands of many investors into a large amount of funds to invest in valuable securities assets such as stocks and bonds.

2. Securities investment funds invest in securities trusts in a trust relationship, which is an act of entrusting my property to a trusted third party, which will manage and use it according to my requirements. Investors entrust professional institutions to invest in securities, and professional institutions manage and invest according to the requirements of investors, and distribute the proceeds to investors. Obviously, this is an act of trust.

What are the characteristics of securities investment funds?

Securities investment fund is a comprehensive portfolio investment method, which gathers a large amount of investors' funds and establishes investment management companies for professional management and operation. Under this system, the operation of funds is subject to multiple supervision.

Like the general financial trust relationship, it mainly has three related parties: the principal, the trustee and the beneficiary. Among them, there is a trust deed between the trustee and the principal. However, as a financial trust business, securities funds have their own characteristics. If there is an indispensable custodian among the main parties engaged in securities investment, it cannot be the same institution as the trustee (fund management company), and the fund custodian is generally a legal person; Fund managers will not use each investor's funds separately, but will combine them into a huge capital chain for later operation.

3. Securities investment fund is a kind of financial intermediary.

It exists among investors, and through specialized institutions, investors' funds are converted into financial assets and reinvested in financial markets, thus realizing the appreciation of monetary assets. Securities investment fund managers are responsible for the operation and management of funds invested by investors, and must determine the investment direction of funds according to the requirements of contracts (or contracts) to ensure the safety and maximum income of capital investors.
