Securities investment funds generally have the following four classification methods. According to the organizational forms of funds, there are contractual funds and corporate funds. Contractual funds are established according to the fund contract signed by the fund manager and the fund custodian. Fund investors purchase fund shares, enjoy rights and assume obligations according to law, and then become fund holders.
