Domestic funds

Product description

What are investment funds?

Investment funds provide you with the possibility of gaining above-average return rates on investments in global and local finance markets. The only objective of investment funds is to multiply the assets they are entrusted with as effectively as possible, at a specified risk level. Funds are established and managed by investment fund companies or international investment companies.

Funds invest on money, capital, raw material, commodity, term contract, futures contracts, FX and other markets. Investment decisions are made by experienced specialists who continuously monitor markets to make changes to the fund's investment structure at the right time to increase its profits and reduce the related risk. However, in doing that, they have to follow investment limits, i.e. strictly comply with the principles stating in which instruments and how much they can invest.

These principles are described in the information or issue prospectus and the fund's statutes that are obligatorily published by every fund. It is worth to read these documents before joining a specific fund to be fully aware of the risk related to the fund and the fund's potential to generate profit.

Investing in investment funds bears a risk. Before you make an investment, read carefully the information prospectuses / summaries of information prospectuses of funds and the included descriptions of risk factors. Information prospectuses / summaries of information prospectuses are available at the Financial Centres and at the seats or on the websites of the relevant investment fund companies.

Risks

Investment Fund is an entity having legal personality and operating on the basis of the Act of 27 May 2004 on investment funds, conducting, exclusively, operations involving investing cash collected publicly or not publicly in securities and other property rights provided for in the Act.

In return for payments into the fund investors receive participation units or investment certificates. Their number shows proportional share held by the investor in the investment fund assets. In specified time intervals the fund determines the value of participation units i.e. calculates „net value of fund's assets" assigned to a single participation unit. For this purpose, the fund determines the value of its investment portfolio and divides it by the number of participation units allocated to all participants. The value of participation unit and investment certificate may change on each valuation day.

• Sector risk,
• Credit risk,
• Short-term price volatility risk,
