Funds have different minimum subscription amount depending on the conditions set by the fund manager. This is noted in the trade ticket.
Minimum investment amounts start at 0 EUR or 1 Unit, but most operate around 1.000 EUR/USD.
Subscriptions are made in the instrument currency, rather than the account currency.
It is not possible to subscribe/invest via number of units.
Funds can be traded online at any time; funds are forward-priced and the execution will only occur at the next available valuation point for the fund.
The valuation point is determined by the fund but is generally European afternoon each working day.
By submitting a Subscription or Redemption request on the platform an investor enters into a binding buy/sell order; the price and execution will normally take place at the next valuation point.
The price you will see on the platform for a fund in the trade ticket is the last known NAV price.
Funds are forward-priced and the price received for a buy or sell will not be known until after execution with the fund manager.
Timing a trade in respect of intra-day movements of the underlying investments is extremely difficult.
The purpose of a fund is to fulfil a long-term investment objective, not day trading. Horizon is typically years rather than weeks and months.
