The fund management company is the lead operator of this kind of partnership investment, but it is a corporate legal person, and its qualification must be approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Fund companies, like other fund investors, are also partners. On the other hand, due to its leading operation, it is necessary to extract service fees (called fund management fees) from the assets jointly produced by everyone every year, manage investment experts (fund managers) who are responsible for transactions on behalf of investors, and help experts collect information and engage in research, and regularly announce the assets and income of the fund. Of course, these activities of fund companies are approved by the CSRC.
In order to ensure the safety of the assets produced by all of us, the lead operator of the fund company will not steal or misappropriate them. China Securities Regulatory Commission stipulates that the assets of a fund cannot be placed in the hands of fund companies, and fund companies and fund managers only care about trading operations and cannot touch money. Find someone who is good at this matter and has high bookkeeping credit. Of course, this role definitely belongs to the bank. So these contributions (that is, fund assets) are placed in the bank, and a special account is built, which is kept by the bank and called fund custody. Of course, the service fee of the bank (called fund custody fee) must be paid from the assets of the partnership every year. Therefore, relatively speaking, fund assets only have the risk of loss caused by poor operation of experts, and there is basically no risk of theft. From a legal point of view, even if the fund management company goes bankrupt or even the custodian bank has an accident, the person who collects debts from it has no right to touch the assets in everyone's fund account, so the security of fund assets is very guaranteed.

If this kind of Public Offering of Fund is announced to be established after raising investors within the prescribed time limit (the state stipulates that it must have at least 1 000 investors and the scale can reach 200 million yuan before it can be established), it will stop attracting other investors and stipulate that no one can withdraw from the fund halfway. However, until some month in the future, all of us will have to settle accounts and share the burden. If you want to cash in halfway, you have to find someone else to sell it yourself. This is a closed-end fund.
This kind of Public Offering of Fund, if declared, still welcomes other investors to invest at any time, and at the same time allows everyone to withdraw their own funds and due income at any time. This is an open-end fund.
Whether it is a closed-end fund or an open-end fund, if it is convenient for everyone to buy and sell, we will find an exchange (securities market) to list the fund and trade it freely among investors at the market price. This is a listed fund.
The number of dividends paid by each fund every year will be explained when recruiting funds, and there is no fixed dividend or split provision.
Dividend is that the fund company must sell some shares to the fund holders for dividends, which may sell the stocks that have just risen in their hands and affect the operation of the fund.
Split is to change the original high net value into the net value of 1 yuan, so that for fund companies, it is not necessary to sell shares to get cash, and for holders, it is equivalent to dividing the original 1 share into many shares.
Some people will like a fund that pays dividends regularly, because it is safe to fall into the bag, but it is more difficult for fund companies to operate and their profitability is affected.
The longest closure period of the new fund is 3 months, but it can be advanced.
