Fund
An investment fund is a special asset consisting of securities (e.g. shares or bonds) that are managed by an investment company for the investors. The money is invested in one or more asset classes. Since these are special assets, the fund assets are protected in the event that the investment company goes bankrupt. In such a scenario, the assets would be returned to the investors.
