Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,3, University of applied sciences, Nurnberg (IOM), course: International Investment & Controlling, language: English, abstract: Capital markets provide many investment opportunities, but CEFs offer the possibility of high returns and attractive alternative investments. The fund subjects can vary and so many categories have been established during the last decades. Today, investments in real estates, ships, renewable energy, planes, and other divisions are open for private and corporate investors. The main challenge for the investor is to understand the product, which is essential for an investment decision. The conception and operative stage of a fund is complex and sophisticated why many investors keep distance to these type of investments. The previous market development has shown that there are many risks and opportunities given which have to be considered. An evaluation of these aspects is cru-cial to the investment success and should be clearly observed. The legislator has stan-dardized the information system of CEFs to offer the possibility of well-arranged in-formation which is intelligible to all. Summing up, an investor has to identify the main risks and opportunities of a CEF investment and then to evaluate the possible return consistent with his portfolio strategy.
