5 MUTUAL FUNDS Advantages of Mutual Fund (UCITS IV) GMM Global Money Managers Ltd 5 Continuous professional management by a team of experienced & well reputed financial experts, with the right knowledge and suitable tools at their disposal, who can monitor and weigh up investment opportunities and the associated risks, to take decisions on behalf of unitholders/investors that are in their interests. Assets are safe and secure. The fund s units beneficial owner certificate bears the investor s name. One or more joint beneficiaries can be appointed. Assets of the fund s are held by a third party, the custodian, on behalf of the fund. Investors can start off by investing a small initial capital (minimum value of unit share: 1000) and enjoy the benefits of the negotiating power that the sheer size of the Fund s overall assets has, thanks to its strong presence in the market. Mutual funds are flexible as investors can switch all or part of the invested capital from one fund to another, managed by the same company, anywhere in the world, reflecting the changes of market conditions. Mutual Funds are addressed to portfolios of all sizes of both individual and legal entities and present a wide range of advantages that make them perhaps the most effective tool of portfolio management worldwide: Investments are diversified and risk minimized, through placements in various investment products and in different geographical parts of the world. Investments are fully transparent and easy to monitor, as assets valuations and fund prices are being published on a daily basis, and also thanks to frequent reporting by the Fund Manager, as it is imposed by the strict legislative framework of the mutual funds industry. Units in mutual funds can be sold instantly, given that investors are not committing their capital for any specific time period. At any time a simple redemption application form sent to the fund manager will release the capital into the account of the investor s choice within 5 working days maximum. Tax benefits. According to the current legal framework, mutual funds are considered institutional investors and as such are taxed upon their total net assets value. As a result the unit holder is no longer subject to extra taxation for capital gains and income derived from the mutual funds (excluding Cypriot tax residents). At the end of each fiscal year, the unit holder can ask the management company to provide him/her with a profit/income confirmation statement, according to his/her purchases/redemptions of units, so that it can be included in the tax declaration for the justification of future capital expenditure. The potential changes in the tax framework applying to mutual funds, may affect the return of the investment.
