About Mutual Funds
What are Mutual Funds?
Mutual Funds are pooled investment vehicles, with the goal of bringing profits to investors. Investors (usually in the thousands) pool their money and appoint a professional organization called a Fund Management Company to manage and make investments on their behalf.
Because the investments in the funds do not have a fixed term, investors can enter and withdraw capital from the funds at any time, hence the term “open-ended” mutual funds.
When investing in mutual funds, investment advisors can help you invest in the securities market (i.e., stocks or bonds), or other investable assets. Investment advisors will perform due diligence in screening, doing fundamental analyses on companies, and evaluating the stocks/bonds’ mid-long term prices

About ETF
What are ETFs
An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a fund that mimics the volatility of a reference index, such as a stock index.
The Fund was formed from swapping the structured securities portfolio for fund certificates and was listed and traded on the Stock Exchange.
Benefits of Investing in ETFs
- Diversify investment portfolio with low cost and minimize risk:
Investing in ETF certificates is equivalent to an investor holding a portfolio of stocks with the same weight and structure as that of the Reference Index that the fund simulates. From there, investing in ETFs helps reduce risk compared to investing in a single stock, or an individual industry.
The management cost of an ETF is usually low because the fund adopts a passive investment strategy that does not need to spend a lot of analytical resources to select stocks.
- Does not require in-depth knowledge of specific stocks:
Investing in each individual ticker requires a lot of time to analyze the stock and when to trade. This becomes more and more difficult as the number of listed shares increases day by day.
- Easy, convenient and transparent investment:
ETF certificates are listed and traded on the Stock Exchange like a common stock, making it easy for investors to buy and sell.
Information on the fund’s stock portfolio and fund certificate prices are published daily on the mass media.
- Attracting foreign indirect investment capital:
Foreign investors can invest in ETFs without restriction on ownership percentage. Therefore, foreign investors can, through an ETF, indirectly hold shares that have reached the maximum foreign ownership ratio that they cannot buy directly.
However, foreign investors will not receive back these shares that have reached this maximum foreign ownership ratio when making an ETF sale swap, because the fund management company will sell the excess. foreign countries and return investors cash accordingly..
