How does an investment fund work?
It consists of having a group of investors pooling money that the asset manager uses to buy assets, such as stocks or bonds. This is what is known as the fund's assets. When you invest in a fund, you're actually buying a part of those assets that we call a unit.
What is the net asset value?
It is the price that stake has at a given time. That is, the price at which it would be sold at that moment. This amount is calculated daily on the price of the assets in which the fund is invested, discounting management and deposit fees. That is, it always reflects the real value of the stake on the date indicated.
What returns can you expect?
Investment funds can achieve very attractive returns, although you should bear in mind that past performance is no guarantee of future results, as there is no fixed interest rate. However, it is always helpful to see how the funds have performed in the past: historical return.
Are there any regulations that affect your investments?
Yes, the MIFID Directive. It is a community regulation that protects customers and improves the functioning of financial markets. It establishes a classification of customers and products in order to offer you the investment that suits you.
What tax advantages do you have?
You can transfer your investment from one fund to another without affecting your income tax return. So you will be able to change your investment without generating losses or profits. You will only have to pay taxes when you sell your shares. Until then, even if you accumulate returns, you will not have to pay income tax on them.
This is a major advantage over accounts and deposits, since the return of your funds is included in the value of the investment, so that capital is also making a profit until you decide to redeem it. The rate at which capital gains are taxed depends on their amount, regardless of the period in which you have held the investment:
-
19% for earnings below €6,000.
-
21% for earnings from €6,000 to €50,000.
-
23% for earnings in excess of €50,000.
What documentation will you receive before you invest in a fund?
Before opening a investment fund, we will provide you with the DFI (Key Investor Information Document) or informative prospect, a semi-annual report and, in the case of international funds, the Marketing Report. These documents provide all the information you will need.
How can you transfer funds?
A transfer consists of redeeming the money from one fund and immediately investing it in another. It may be total or partial, as well as between Openbank’s investment funds or those at other entities. Of course, in order to do so, the ownership and the percentage of equity must be the same. This flexibility allows you to move your investments more easily according to your interests.
When can you redeem your investment?
You can redeem your investment whenever you need it. The liquidity of investment funds is a huge advantage compared to term deposits (in which you have to wait for maturity to receive the principal and interest agreed). If you invest in guaranteed funds, you will have to wait a specific period of time.
