Extended information:

(1) Integrated financial management and professional financial management.

Concentrating the funds of many investors in the fund and entrusting the fund managers to invest together embodies the characteristics of collective financial management. By pooling the funds of many investors, many a mickle makes a mickle, which is conducive to giving full play to the scale advantage of the fund and reducing the investment cost.

Fund managers manage and operate investments. Fund managers generally have a large number of professional investment and research personnel and a strong information network, which can better track and analyze the securities market in all directions. Give funds to fund managers for management, so that small and medium investors can also enjoy professional investment management services.

(2) Portfolio investment spreads risks.

In order to reduce investment risk, China's Securities Investment Fund Law stipulates that funds must invest in the form of portfolio investment, thus making "portfolio investment and risk diversification" a major feature of funds.

The scientific nature of "portfolio investment and risk diversification" has been proved by modern investment science. Because of the small amount of funds, small and medium-sized investors generally cannot diversify their investment risks by buying different stocks. Funds generally buy dozens or even hundreds of stocks. Investors buying funds are equivalent to buying a basket of stocks with very little money. The losses caused by the decline of some stocks can be made up by the rising profits of other stocks. Therefore, you can fully enjoy the benefits of portfolio investment and risk diversification.

(3) Enjoy the benefits and take risks.

The investor of the fund is the owner of the fund. Investors * * * take risks * * and enjoy profits. All the surplus of the investment income of the Fund after deducting the expenses borne by the Fund belongs to the fund investors and is distributed according to the proportion of fund shares held by each investor. Fund custodians and fund managers who provide services for the fund can only collect certain custody fees and management fees according to regulations, and do not participate in the distribution of fund income.

(4) Strict supervision and transparent information.

In order to effectively protect the interests of investors and enhance investors' confidence in fund investment, China Securities Regulatory Commission implemented strict supervision on the fund industry, severely cracked down on all kinds of behaviors that harmed investors' interests, and forced the fund to make more full information disclosure. In this case, strict supervision and information transparency have become a prominent feature of the fund.

(5) Independent storage to ensure safety.

The fund manager is responsible for the investment operation of the fund and does not handle the custody of the fund property itself. The custody of the fund property is the responsibility of the fund custodian independent of the fund manager. This kind of checks and balances mechanism of mutual restriction and mutual supervision provides an important guarantee for the interests of investors.
