How It Works?
What is a "Mutual Fund" Trust company specializing in securities investment (including both domestic and offshore securities investment Trust companies), which, in accordance with various laws and regulations, raises money from the public in exchange for share certificates. The funds are invested in instruments as agreed in the Trust deed or offering circular, and which may include domestic and foreign stocks, bonds or other monetary instruments, etc. Responsibility for the profit or loss in such investment is borne by the investor.
Advantages of investing in domestic and offshore mutual funds
Legally entirely tax-free
According to the current tax law of the Republic of China, capital gains and interest derived from investing in offshore funds are entirely tax-free, so giving you a totally legal way to reduce your tax bill!
Investment spread reduces risk
Mutual funds are very broad in scale, with funds diversified in several hundred stocks or bonds, and so with a much lower risk than in trading a single stock or bond. Similarly, because they spread the investment across geographies, they are able to avoid the risk of single market fluctuations, and so can be seen as quite a cautious investment vehicle.
Handled by experts, eliminating the hassle of stock-picking yourself
Mutual funds employ specialist fund managers and research analysts, all of whom perform in-depth analyses of countries’ economies and of individual stocks’ performance so that the individual does not have to go the trouble of picking individual stocks.
Excellent liquidity so you can cash out easily
Mutual funds are very liquid - holdings can be redeemed at any time and very easily converted into cash. This is unlike term deposits in banks, which if broken early will receive a deduction in interest payments. Mutual funds do not have this concern.
