Frequently asked questions about Investment Funds
What are investment funds?
Investment funds are independent financial entities with assets owned by multiple individuals or legal entities, referred to as unit-holders. These funds can be categorized as either open or closed. Open funds have a variable number of units, whereas closed funds have a fixed number of units.
The time it takes for your funds to become available can range from 1 to 5 days after your redemption request. For funds invested in exotic markets like India or Uruguay, it might take up to 10 days. The exact redemption amount is typically determined on the next business day. In the meantime, you can use the unit value at the redemption order date as an estimate.

An investment fund is made up of units, which are autonomous units with identical characteristics that together represent the value of the investment fund's overall assets at a given time. Investment funds are composed of different asset classes such as equities, bonds and cash.
Any investment has its associated risks. In the case of funds, you should bear in mind that:
- They have no capital guarantee, so at the time of redemption you may not be able to recover all the money invested.
- They are made up of a set of assets, whose market price may increase or decrease. This variation is reflected in the value of the unit, which means that the investor may lose part or even all of the capital invested.
