Investment funds are offered by various institutions, investment banks, financial firms and other entities, and fund shares are purchased and sold through centralized exchanges or in direct retail sale. Funds are often structured to target specific geographic regions, specific industries or investment styles. Fund investors are typically advised to hold their shares for at least one year to offset initial charges and potential drawdowns in fund share prices. Funds are considered long-term investments and are normally not associated with speculative and day-trading.

Funds trading does not require to have margin requirement. As long as you have sufficient money, you can trade with it. Consider it as shares or unit trust.

For example, if the unit price for the fund is $0.5000

You want to buy 1000 unit, you should have 1000 x $0.50 = $500 in your account.

If the fund's performance is very good and the price is $0.6000, you sell it and obtained $600, thus you gain $100.

If the fund's performance is weak and the price is $0.10, and your net investment value on that fund is only $100. You have unrealised loss of $400.

Unlike forex, your margin is based on quantity and regardless of the price you trade.

Usually funds are based on Fund pricing models (e.g. net asset value, preset percentage). Most of the funds are priced using NAV. As you can see in your local unit trust management, NAV is the common method used to determine the price which represents the fair assets of the funds.

There will be no guarantee offered in funds investment by most of the financial institutions in the world. Usually, when you decide to invest or to buy funds, they will give you the prospectus of the funds and you should study well before invest.

You will see this statement in the prospectus " Past performance does not guarantee future results..."

I can see that those bond funds has the risk even their returns are slightly much lower than the funds that invested in major equity markets.
