Investment companies and investment funds (western model, experience in the Russian Federation)

This is a new form of financial institutions whose main activity is to raise funds by issuing their own shares, which are then invested in the securities of industrial and other corporations. Thus, through the acquisition of securities, they carry out, on an equal basis with other financial institutions, financing various sectors of the economy.

Currently, there are investment companies of closed and open types. The difference lies in the timing of the issue of their own shares - the first issue immediately in a certain amount, the second gradually, in certain portions, mainly to new buyers. A more convenient form is a public company (mutual funds), because the constant issue allows you to increase investment in the securities of the corporation.

A feature of investment companies is that among the buyers of their securities, the share of credit and financial institutions and commercial and industrial corporations is increasing.

The development of investment companies is closely related to the dynamics and scale of the securities market. The higher the level of development of the latter, the higher the degree of development of investment companies.

The basis of passive operations of investment companies are the proceeds from the sale of their own securities, share capital, reserve fund, real estate of the company.

Active operations are specific and differ from similar operations of other financial institutions. The bulk of the assets of investment companies consists of shares of various companies and corporations, and more recently they have invested in corporate bonds. There is a specialization of investments: some companies concentrate their investments in ordinary shares, others in preferred shares, and still others in bonds. In addition, there is industry specialization.

Since the development of investment companies depends on the securities market, mainly shares, frequent fluctuations in share prices affect the financial condition of investment companies, since the fall in share prices and especially stock market crashes slow down their development, and in some cases lead to bankruptcy.

Investment companies attract large segments of the population to investment activities, thanks to which it is possible to mobilize significant funds for investment in the economy and create an illusion that everyone can become a shareholder and thus an owner. Usually, small investors are attracted during the period of the stock market boom, on the rise of the growth of the stock price, however, in the face of deteriorating market conditions, they suffer big losses. The practice of Western countries shows that, after all, the main contributors are large individual and collective investors, and the control over the activities of investment companies is carried out by the largest shareholders.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Soap dispenser telling jokes 09.08.2021

Amazon continues to try to make smart homes even smarter - even where it's not exactly required. A smart soap dispenser from all previously known is presented.

The Amazon device is equipped with an LED screen that counts down 20 seconds. This is how much the WHO recommends washing your hands, which is especially important during the coronavirus pandemic. Okay, now this is even useful! Move on.

Thanks to the built-in Wi-Fi module (yes...), the dispenser connects to Amazon smart speakers. And here begins what it was all about: the dispenser automatically plays songs and tells jokes while you wash your hands. Otherwise, it will be too boring, according to the company. By the way, for all this to work, the dispenser needs to be charged - at least once every three months.

The price of new items is $55.
