Fund assets are managed by professional investment manager, whose job is to invest money resources received from investors into different financial market instruments (for example shares, bonds, etc.) in order to secure an increase in fund value. The level of risk, recommended term and fund profitability changes according to where the fund is investing in – shares, bonds, government bonds or deposits.

For example, you have purchased investment fund units for 10 Euros per each, but selling them after 5 years you can get 15 Euros for each unit. Thus the income for each unit is 5 Euros. As an additional income some funds pay dividends to their investors in the form of investment fund units or money.
