There are many reasons to invest: concerns about rising inflation and the depreciation of personal finances, a desire to own real estate or a collection of art, or simply the wish to appreciate available funds and secure the future.
More and more people are thinking about investments with the future in mind. A carefully considered and selected strategy can make the path to fulfilling plans and wishes easier.

If I want to regularly put money into an account or savings deposit, where there is almost no risk and interest is paid at a known rate, then I am saving.
If I decide to put my money into assets that may carry the risk of loss in value, but in return offer the possibility of a higher return, then I am investing.
Everyone needs to answer the basic questions honestly. How much money can I invest without causing difficulties for my household? What expenses await me in the near future and cannot be avoided? Do I have sufficient reserves for unexpected events?
A joint-stock company issues shares, i.e. securities. A mutual fund issues unit certificates, confirming the investor’s share in the assets of the mutual fund. An investment fund issues investment shares. A bond is also a security; its holder has the right to request repayment of the amount owed and to receive the specified returns under the issue terms.
An investment share is a security issued by an investment fund, for example a SICAV. Its owner has the right to have it redeemed for the account of the company or sub-fund. A unit certificate is a security issued by a mutual fund and represents the investor’s share in the fund’s assets. Unit certificates are usually bought and redeemed through distribution partners appointed by the fund.
Qualified investor funds are suitable for investors willing to accept a higher degree of risk, with adequate financial background and sufficient knowledge and experience. General minimum investment rules apply: EUR 125,000 or equivalent with a written risk acknowledgement, or CZK 1,000,000 if the investment corresponds to the investor’s background, objectives, knowledge and experience.
By investing in securities issued by an investment fund, the investor gains professional asset management, liquidity with settlement usually taking about one month, diversified portfolio risks, potential tax advantages after 3 years, and exposure suitable for a longer investment horizon.
By investing in unit certificates, i.e. open-ended mutual funds, the investor gains professional asset management, suitability even for beginning investors, liquidity with settlement usually taking days, risk diversification, potential tax advantages after 3 years, and returns depending on the development of the underlying portfolio securities.

Every investor would ideally like the highest possible return, immediate access to funds and all of that with as little risk as possible. These factors influence one another and must be brought into balance. In general, the higher the return, the higher the risk that must be accepted. Higher returns are therefore often required by investors as a premium for instruments with lower or otherwise limited liquidity. How should you choose, and why?
Shares offer potentially high returns and are highly liquid. The risks lie mainly in poor timing of purchases. Share prices can be strongly affected by market sentiment, and retail investors may enter the market when the growth phase is already nearing its end.
Savings account offers high liquidity, with funds available almost immediately and risk reduced by statutory deposit insurance. Its return, however, usually falls far short of inflation.
Real estate has historically generated returns above inflation over the long term. If it needs to be sold, however, the process can take months. Real estate risk is relatively low, but it is sensible to allow for a longer investment horizon due to its sensitivity to the economic cycle.
