The key difference between managed funds and other investments, such as a direct share portfolio or an investment property, is that managed investments are an indirect method of investment. You can still invest in shares or property, but you don’t own each parcel of shares or each investment property and you leave the decision making and ongoing management to a professional fund manager.
When you invest in a managed fund you buy units in the fund thereby gaining an interest in the investments owned by the fund. The number of units you will receive will depend on the price of the units on the day you buy them. The price will vary daily according to the change in market value of the fund's investments.
The type of investments purchased by the fund will depend on its investment objectives. For example, a managed Australian share fund will invest in shares listed on the Australian Stock Exchange while a diversified balanced fund will invest in shares, property, cash and fixed interest investments.
