What is a mutual fund?
A mutual fund is one of the most popular investment products worldwide, where assets owned by legal and natural persons and entrusted to a management company are managed and invested by professionals.
It is useful for you, because:
- you may earn more – money transferred to the fund is invested in shares and bonds of promising companies as well as in other securities with the aim to get an increase in the value of assets managed by the fund;
- investments are diversified – by investing into different securities, risk hedging is achieved, and value fluctuation depends on the entire market results rather than on changes in the value of separate securities;
- investments are managed professionally:
- funds are managed by professionals with long-standing expertise in asset management and licensed by the Securities Commission;
- based on daily market surveys, prompt investment decisions are taken;
- better investment opportunities are offered – by investing assets entrusted by the customers to the mutual fund, the mutual fund manager can buy securities at much better terms, also, the fund manager has a possibility to acquire securities that are otherwise unavailable to an individual investor;
- investment liquidity is ensured – if cash is needed, the investor may anytime sell his investment units, in whole or in part;
- funds operate transparently – the price of each fund unit as daily announced on the Internet, detailed reports are quarterly produced; fees applied by the funds are simple and clear;
- favourable taxation environment – in Lithuania, if an investment in a mutual fund is at a longer than one-year maturity, the gain is not subject to private individuals’ income tax.
Mutual funds represent a perfect product for long-term accumulation of funds. Here are some examples of easy accumulation of an impressive amount by investing in products with a diverse yield:
