Why is fund investment risky? Different from bank savings, any kind of investment behavior has risks, but the degree is different. As a beneficiary certificate, the fund manager does not bear the risk of investment loss and guarantee the safety of principal while managing assets on behalf of investors. After the fund is raised, it will eventually invest in various securities. Therefore, the macro-environment of the market, the development prospect of the industry, the valuation level of listed companies, the competitiveness of companies, the behavior of market participants and other factors will inevitably lead to certain risks in fund investment, thus generating the possibility of profit and loss. What is market risk? Market risk refers to the sensitivity of the value of financial instruments or securities to changes in market parameters, which is an inevitable risk caused by any market fluctuation in the legal operation of fund assets and self-owned assets; These include: economic cycle risk, policy risk, interest rate risk, exchange rate risk, operating risk of listed companies, purchasing power risk, liquidity risk and so on. The existence of these risks will inevitably affect the operation of the fund to varying degrees, and will also cause fluctuations in investment income. Systematic risk is market risk, which refers to the influence of overall political, economic, social and other environmental factors on securities prices. Systematic risks include policy risk, economic cyclical fluctuation risk, interest rate risk, purchasing power risk and exchange rate risk. This kind of risk cannot be eliminated by diversifying investment, so it is also called non-dispersive risk. What is non-systematic risk? Non-systematic risk refers to the unique risks of individual securities, including credit risk, operational risk and enterprise financial risk. Non-systematic risk can be avoided by diversifying investment, so it is also called distributable risk. What is interest rate risk? The interest rate here refers to the deposit and loan interest rate in bank credit activities. Because interest rate is an important economic lever in the process of economic operation, it will change frequently, thus bringing obvious influence to the stock market. Generally speaking, bank interest rates rise, stock prices fall, and vice versa. There are two main reasons: first, the basic purpose of people holding financial assets is to obtain income. With the same rate of return, they are willing to choose financial instruments with high security. In general, the security of bank savings deposits is much higher than that of stock investment. Therefore, once the interest rate of bank deposits rises, funds will flow out of the securities market, thus reducing the demand for securities investment, stock price and return on investment. Second, after the bank loan interest rate rises, the credit market is tight, the capital flow of enterprises is not smooth, the interest cost increases, the production development and profitability will be weakened, and the financial situation of enterprises will deteriorate, leading to a decline in the stock market price. As the stock is one of the important investment targets of the fund, the fluctuation of interest rate will inevitably be reflected in the performance of the fund's net value through the stock. What is the liquidity risk of the fund? The liquidity risk of the fund's investment refers to the risk that the fund investors cannot fully redeem the net asset value of the unit fund on that day, resulting in the decline of the net asset value of the fund. This situation usually occurs in the extreme case that the fund faces huge redemption or suspension of redemption. In addition, the special arrangements of some funds have certain restrictions on liquidity. For example, for QDII funds investing in overseas markets, the redemption funds generally arrive in 8- 10 trading days at the earliest, and it may take more than ten days for customers to arrive. In case of holidays in overseas markets, trading can be suspended; When a normal redemption application encounters a long holiday, it may take ten days to receive the funds, and investors need to make arrangements for the funds in advance. What is the risk of unknown purchase and redemption price? The subscription and redemption of open-end funds adopt the trading method of "unknown price", that is, when investors trade funds on the same day, they don't know the net value of fund shares on that day, and the net value of fund shares is usually calculated after the trading time on that day. Therefore, the net share value that investors refer to in fund trading is the data of the previous fund trading day, and the net share value of the fund on that day is still uncertain. In the case of market volatility, investors may have to bear the risk that the purchase price is higher than expected or the redemption price is lower than expected. What is purchasing power risk? Purchasing power risk, also known as inflation risk, refers to the uncertainty of investors' real rate of return caused by inflation. The securities market is a place where enterprises and investors directly invest and finance, so the total supply of social monetary funds has become an important factor to determine the supply and demand of the securities market and affect the price level of securities. When the money supply grows too fast and inflation occurs, the price of securities will change accordingly. Inflation has two different effects on securities prices. In the initial stage of inflation, the increase in nominal assets and nominal profits will naturally increase the market prices of companies and enterprises. At the same time, people who have a hunch that inflation may intensify will also snap up stocks to preserve their value and stimulate the stock price to rise temporarily. But when inflation continues to rise for a period of time, it will reverse the stock price trend and bring negative returns to investors. The new production costs will increase due to the rising prices of raw materials, and the profits of enterprises will decrease accordingly. Investors will start selling stocks and look for other ways to protect the value of financial assets. All these will shrink the demand of the stock market, supply exceeds demand, and the stock price will naturally fall sharply.
