A Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is a scheme which may be constituted as a company, a trust, a limited partnership or any other legal entity and whose exclusive purpose is the collective investment of funds in a portfolio of securities or financial assets, real property or non-financial assets. The operation of a CIS is based on the principle of risk diversification.
Hedge Fund
Hedge fund is an investment vehicle with the aim to pool capital from accredited investors or institutional investors and to infuse such funding in a variety of assets, often with complex portfolio-construction and risk management techniques thus diversifying its investment risk and at the same time ensure an absolute return objective.
Basically, a hedge fund will be structured with an elastic capital and providing its subscribers the freedom to exit at any time. In general term, hedge funds are normally assisted by Fund Managers or Investment Advisors where complex and advanced investment decisions are recommended to the fund. Some of the popular investment areas would be arbitrage, long/short investments, tactical trading, and event-driven funds.
Private Equity Fund
Private Equity refers to the investment, either in the form of equity or debt, in companies that are not normally listed or tradeable. Such type of vehicle is used to raise finance through a pooling process from investors ranging from DFIs, HNWI, Sovereign funds, Pension funds among others.
Private Equity funds are set up for different purposes, sectors, and geographical regions, with a limited life, enabling the Fund Manager or Investment Advisor to apply the funds, develop investees, create the ESG impact, exit and provide a return to the investors.
