Special fund
Fund that is available only to a limited group of investors
Special funds are owned by a maximum of 10 investors. In most cases, the shareholders of special funds are institutional investors. The shares, which do not carry a load, can be transferred only with the approval of the investment company. The investment policy of special funds are oriented to the individual needs of the shareholders.
