OFBU: pyramid schemes or easy money?

Investments Finansy10-04-2009 OFBU: pyramid schemes or easy money? 90% per day - with these losses had to face some of the common shareholders funds of bank management (OFBU). As often happens in Russia, the euphonious name is often hidden "pyramid" schemes, which crumble at the first problems in the stock market. Victims of such schemes are trying to restore justice in the courts. However, now when the situation calmed down, these funds again show crazy profits. As you know, an economic crisis began with the financial crisis. Last autumn, the beginning of the crisis in Russia was marked by falling stock market and, consequently, losses for many investors. Probably the most affected investors of mutual funds (mutual funds) and the general funds of bank management (OFBU). The mechanism of the latter - OFBU - similar to the PIFS, but less rigidly regulated. Consequently, investment in OFBU riskier. For example, mutual funds invest primarily in Russian securities (which is allowed only 20% of foreign securities). At the same time OFBU allowed to invest in foreign securities, derivatives market instruments, foreign exchange assets and precious metals. Simply put, virtually all existing financial instruments.
