Investment Companies

Investment companies are financial institutions that pool money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets, like stocks, bonds, or real estate. They offer a way for individuals to partake in a broader range of investments than they might manage on their own. There are different types of investment companies, including mutual funds that allow investors to purchase shares, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that trade like stocks. They typically charge fees for managing the investments and aim to provide returns based on the performance of the assets they hold.
