Mutual Fund
Mutual fund is a financial institution which is operated under
supervision of Securities and Exchange Org., and being administered by
specialists and by using the funds made available to it by the investors, it
makes investment in varying portfolio of shares and other securities for the
purpose of protecting against investment risk, benefiting from savings due to
scaling and securing the investors’ interests. As a result, one who has
invested in a mutual fund, he has, indeed, indirectly invested in the shares of
several companies, purchased by the mutual fund from his own assets.
Features and Privileges of Investment in Funds
1) Professional Management: Funds are administered
by specialists and skilled managers, and therefore, investors, who have no
adequate experience, time and/or appropriate facilities for an independent
investment may make investment in the capital market via such funds.
2) Total Transparency and Supervision: Due to
supervision on the legal structure by institutions such as the fund’s
administrator, the fund’s auditor, Securities and Exchange Org., investors can
be sure of preservation of their rights.
3)
Diversification and Risk Reduction: According to
financial theories diversification in investment can reduce investment risk and
decrease in the price of a share may be compensated by appreciation in the
value of other securities.
4) Easiness and Simplicity: Investment in the
investment funds is simple and there is no need of complicated analyses.
5) Liquidity (Accessibility): Such funds are highly
liquid, and investors may get access to cash funds any time by retirement of
their investment units. In such case, investment will not encounter restrictions
such as sales queuing and/or symbol stop which may exist in direct investment
in shares.
6) Economies of Scale: A retail investor
is not able to make payment of consultation costs and/or to make use of varying
information and analysis software, but when little capitals of retail investors
make available such privileges.
7) Mutual Fund Managers’ Motivation: With regard to
the designed structure of a mutual fund, its managers’ motivation concerning
shares and direct relationship between the growth of the fund’s assets and profits
taken by the managers and other associates is predictable, and managers have
sufficient motivation for building up the best possible investment portfolio.
8) Availability of Earnings for Re-Investment: Whereas
the basis of valuation of a mutual fund is the intraday net value of assets,
increase in such value leads to availability of re-investment for the managers
of the fund.
