Financial Dictionary - Collective investment undertakings
Collective investment undertakings
Investment funds are collective investment instruments that pool the capital (units) contributed by a group of individuals (unit holders). The entry (subscription) or exit (redemption) of investors' capital and variations in the value of the assets in which the fund invests mean that a fund's assets can increase but also decrease.
A fund's assets will change for two reasons: The funds are managed by a managing entity—in this case, Bankinter Asset Management—which identifies investment opportunities based on the strategy previously established in the investment policy of each fund (level of risk and markets in which it can invest).
Find the investment funds that best suit your investor profile.
What really sets funds apart from other investment products is that they provide private investors with a gateway to markets and investment options that are usually restricted to major investors.
We offer a wide range of funds for all investor profiles: defensive, conservative, moderate, dynamic and aggressive. It's very important to bear in mind your risk profile when choosing a fund. With any investment fund, even the most conservative ones, there is always a risk of losing your capital.
