Capital Markets Law – Lawyer

Open-end funds are the classic form of investment funds. The investment company can issue any number of fund units. These can already be purchased at relatively low investment amounts and can later be sold again at the current redemption price. This makes it feasible to spread investments over various companies and investments with manageable effort. The overall risk can also be limited in this way. Investors are protected by the German Investment Companies Act (KAAG). A fund management team with experienced specialists must therefore follow clearly defined investment guidelines. Closed-end funds are set up to raise capital for large-scale projects. Examples are real estate, media or tangible assets. As a rule, investors must invest a relatively large amount as a minimum investment. When the fund is launched, the specific investment objectives and the targeted capital gain are defined in detail. Once all units have been sold, the fund is usually closed for a period of ten to 20 years. Units are repaid by dissolving a fund, for example by selling the investment object. Earlier redemption is not possible for you, or only at considerable losses.
