| What is an Investment Fund? |
A Securities Investment Fund is a collective savings instrument that results from the applications of several investors; the set of these applications constitutes an autonomous investment, belonging to a group of individuals or corporations, called Shareholders.
Why Invest in Funds
Securities Investment Funds are a good way of investing in shares, bonds and other assets:
| • | because they are run by professionals who know the securities market; | | • | because they allow the risk of investment to be lowered by diversifying the portfolio; | | • | because they reduce the costs of transaction, compared to those an investor would have to pay for an individual operation, since they simultaneously trade large quantities of securities. |
