Open Guaranteed Funds in Italy

The investment fund industry in Italy has become quite prosperous during the last few years, as the National Bank and the Securities and Exchange Commission (CONSOB) have enabled several EU regulations related to the opening of investment funds. These directives have put Italy on the map of qualified investors interested in this industry. Among the most popular types of funds qualified and experienced investors choose are collective investment funds which are divided into various categories. Among these, guaranteed funds are some of the most employed.

What are Italian guaranteed funds?

Guaranteed funds are collective investment schemes usually offered by insurance or management companies in Italy. They are called guaranteed investment funds because they are based on a scheme which allows the participants to the fund to retrieve the amount invested initially when the fund reaches maturity. Italian guaranteed funds may invest in equity, in index funds or in bonds. The management or the insurance company offering this kind of investments must be registered under the form of joint stock companies in Italy and are subject to the approval of the National Bank and the CONSOB.
