Investment funds are divided into four major categories - money, bond, mixed and share funds. Differences in the investment structure are also reflected in the riskiness of the funds. Money funds are the least risky, followed by bond and mixed funds, and stock funds are considered the most risky.
The riskiness of the fund represents the range of possible returns in the future, that is, the possibility that the return on your investment will be different than expected. Riskier funds, have a greater range of possible returns, therefore allow for potentially higher returns than less risky funds. However, higher losses are possible with riskier funds. It is up to you to decide what level of fund risk you are ready to take.
Tax is not paid if your investment is longer than 2 years. If you decide to sell your shares to the fund before this period has passed, you will be required to pay a tax of 12% on the amount of profit you have made, and depending on the place where you are registered, you will also pay a surtax. Because of all this, it is advisable to invest in funds for a period longer than 2 years.
The operation of investment funds is regulated by the Law on Open-Ended Investment Funds (Official Gazette 44/16), related regulations and European regulations. According to the Law, the operation of investment funds is supervised by the Croatian Financial Services Supervision Agency (HANFA). You can find out more about HANFA's work on the agency's website.
Open investment funds, with regard to the securities in which the fund invests its assets, are most often divided into stock, mixed, bond and cash. The fundamental documents of every investment fund are the prospectus and the rules of the fund, which define the characteristics of the each individual fund, including the investment limits, i.e. the riskiness of the instruments in which the investors' collected funds are invested. Read the detailed investment strategy for each fund in the fund prospectuses.
Respecting the principles of security, liquidity and risk distribution when investing the fund's assets, the main long-term goal of the management company is the professional investment of the collected funds and ensuring the liquidity of the fund, so that investors have a constant and safe possibility of cashing in their shares, while achieving the highest possible profitability in accordance with the assumed risk. The goal of the fund must correspond to your set goal. For example, if you invest with the intention of preserving your assets, then choose a low-risk fund.
The basic risks of investing in the fund are as follows: Systemic risks, Market risk, Currency fluctuations, Credit risk, Risk of changes in tax regulations, Risk of interest rate changes, Liquidity risk and Specific risks. You can find a detailed description of all important risks in the prospectus of each fund.

You can submit the completed forms to the company (Generali Investments) via e-mail at fondovi@generali-investments.hr, or to the fax number +385 1 4864 064. Along with the company forms, you must also submit a copy of your personal document (ID, passport or drivers license) and current account card. By signing the Access Statement, you declare that you are familiar with the prospectus of the fund in which you wish to invest. The payment can be made through internet banking or by paying in any financial institution. The number of shares purchased is calculated to four decimal places, and the minimum payment is determined by the prospectus of the each individual fund.
If you would like to sell your shares in the fund, please fill out the Request for redemption of shares form. You can send the completed and signed form, together with a copy of your personal document (ID, passport or drivers license) and current account card, to the company (Generali Investments) scanned by e-mail at fondovi@generali-investments.hr or by fax at +385 1 4864 064. If the request for payment of shares is received on a working day by 2 p.m., the share holder is recognized with the price of shares in the fund valid on that day. If the request for payment of shares is received on a working day after 2 p.m. or on a day that is not a working day, the day of the payment request is considered the first following working day. The company will pay the shareholder the funds based on the purchase of shares in the fund, reduced by the amount of the exit fee if the fee exists, no later than within 7 (seven) days from the day of receipt of the properly completed request for payment and other necessary documentation. For received requests that are not filled in correctly, it is considered that they were not even received.
The fund's assets are divided into equal parts, and each one of those parts is called a share. A share is the basic unit that makes up the fund and is purchased when investing, and represents a proportional part in the total assets of the open investment fund. The daily value of one share (which changes daily due to changes in the prices of securities in the fund's portfolio) is obtained by the mathematical operation by dividing the fund's net assets with the number of shares in circulation (the number of fund shares currently held by the investor).
The share price/value is calculated every business day for the previous business day.
During the transfer of funds to the fund, shares are calculated at the price valid on the day of submission of the Request for the issuance of shares, that is, on the day that the payment was made. For example, if the payment was made on working day x at 11:00 a.m., it will be calculated on day x+1 (provided that x+1 is a working day) at the price that was valid on the day x. The same applies to the Redemption Request shares.
The price/value of shares can be found out by calling +385 1 486 4060 and on the website www.generali-investments.hr
Management fees and deposit bank fees are already included in the published share price/value, which means that it is not necessary to pay them additionally.
The fastest way to buy/sell shares is via the Internet, where you can immediately fill out the Access Statement and Request for Share Issuance forms and make a payment via internet banking, or to sell shares, it is enough to fill out the Request for Share Redemption form.
Yes there is. When transferring funds from one fund to another, the exit fee and entry fee are not charged in either case.
After the client submits a Request for share redemption, the payment of funds to him is calculated according to the value of the share valid for the day of receipt of the complete request, if the request is received by 2 p.m. According to the Fund's Prospectus, the Company is obliged to pay out the calculated funds no later than 7 days after receiving a complete request for payment. A complete request for payment consists of a properly completed Request for share redemption form, a copy of the investor's identity card and a copy of the investor's bank card, or for legal entities an extract from the court register no older than three months, a copy of the responsible person's identity card and a copy of the giro account agreement.
ENTRY FEES: Considering the differently structured fees due to the diversity of the funds managed by the company, we refer you to the brochure of each fund, where the entry fees are detailed. EXIT FEES: Considering the differently structured fees due to the diversity of the funds managed by the company, we refer you to the brochure of each fund, where the exit fees are detailed. MANAGEMENT FEE The Generali Plus fund has a management fee of 1,25%. For the Generali Balanced fund, the management fee is 3,25%, and for the Generali First Choice fund, the management fee is 2,00%. The management fee for the Generali Nova Europa and Generali Victoria funds is 2,50%, and for the Generali Energija fund 3,00%, while the Generali BRIC and Generali Europa funds have a management fee of 3,50%.
The entry fee is the amount that the company charges the client for the investment itself. The investor can make as many payments as he wants and in any period with only one limitation - no payment can be less than the minimum specified in the brochure of each fund. For each payment to a certain fund, a certain percentage of the entrance fee is charged depending on the amount invested and the fund in which it is invested. Example: if the investor invests 1,000.00 EUR, the entry fee is 1,000.00 EUR x 2.00% / 102.00 = 19.61 EUR, and his investment (the part that is converted into shares) is 1,000.00 EUR - 19.61 EUR = 980.39 EUR. This amount is divided by the value of the fund's shares on the day of calculation (value of the fund's shares on the day when the investor's payment gets processed to the fund's account) and thus the number of shares that the investor bought was obtained. The exit fee is charged depending on the investment period in the fund (exit fees according to fund brochure), with the same limitation as for the payments - the minimum payout amount is according to fund brochure. When charging the exit fee, the total uninterrupted period during which the investor owned a share in the fund is counted as the investment period. The exit fee is charged only during the final payment of funds from Generali Investments funds.
No, the management fee is calculated daily and its value is subtracted during the calculation and subsequent publication of the share price/value.
On the basis of the Request for the issue of units and the notification of the inflow of cash payment to the fund account (statement), the calculation of the payment is made and the investor is issued a statement of the balance on the investment account. The number of shares for the investor is calculated on the basis of the amount paid, minus the costs of the entrance fee and the price of the share valid on the day of recording the payment to the fund account. The status and value of shares can be found out by calling our phone number +385 1 486 4060 and on the website www.generali-investments.hr.
The advantage of investing funds in investment funds is manifested in the greater possibility of sharing the risk of the invested funds. An important advantage of the funds is the professional management and management of the portfolio, because it respects the basic principles of profitability, security and liquidity, as well as the possibility of achieving lower costs in trading securities and other financial instruments due to the large volume of business transactions and the existence of appropriate mechanisms for monitoring and protecting investors (legal regulations, HANFA and others).
If the investor is extremely conservative, the most suitable fund for him would be the Generali Plus (short-term bond fund). If the investor is moderately conservative and accepts moderate risk, the recommendation is the Generali Balanced (mixed fund). If the investor is for a more dynamic form of investment and accepts a slightly higher risk, the recommendation is either Generali Victoria, Generali Nova Europa (equity fund), Generali Energija (equity fund), Generali Prvi izbor (equity fund of funds), Generali Europa, or Generali BRIC (stock fund). The generally recommended minimum duration of investment with regard to the type of funds invested in is shown in the continuation: money funds for the investment up to 6 months; bond funds for the investments from 6 months to 1 year; mixed funds for the investments from 1 to 3 years and stock funds for the investments over 3 years.
You can find prospectuses and rules of funds, as well as key information for investors on our website www.poba.hr.
