Investments and funds

Investment funds are investment instruments that pool the funds of investors and invest it into a portfolio consisting of bonds, stocks, or other assets. Each fund has a fund administrator who makes decisions about the items to purchase or sell and also charges a management fee. There are several types of investment funds, such as unit trusts (UCITS), OEICs, and open ended investment companies (OEIGCs).

When you invest in funds, it’s important to consider your reasons for doing so as well as the time frame you wish to invest and also your profile as an investor that reflects your level of level of risk-taking. For instance, investors who are younger may have more time and feel more at ease with a higher degree of risk in order to increase their growth in the long run.

Diversification is a great method to lower your risk like saving. Diversification is the process of spreading your money over different classes of assets that have lower correlations in their price movements. This allows you to reduce the value loss in one asset class by the gain of another asset class.

Smart beta, also known as low-cost investment is another method to lower risk. They are a type of fund that is managed passively and tries to mimic the movement of a particular stock market index, such as the FTSE 100 or S&P 500 without the need for human judgment.
