Investing and Risk

Whether you are looking at investing in a pension, an investment bond or ISA (Individual Savings Account), you might consider using investment funds. A fund is capital belonging to numerous investors, held in one place and used to collectively purchase securities, while each investor retains ownership and control of his own shares. Buying large numbers of shares or achieving a portfolio of investments may well be beyond most average investors so they effectively club together to increase their purchasing power.

Typically, these pools of money are run and managed by an investment specialist. The manager is paid to make the day-to-day decisions of where the pooled money is invested. The fund manager uses their expertise to make suitable investment decisions in order for the value of the pooled fund to hopefully grow over time.

Another advantage of pooled investment is being able to diversify.
