Okay, kiddo, let me try to explain Allspring Global Investments to you in a way that makes sense.
Imagine you have a piggy bank where you save money. Now, people who have lots of money, like big companies or rich people, also have piggy banks where they save their money. But their piggy banks are much, much bigger than yours.
Allspring Global Investments is like a really big piggy bank where lots of companies and rich people put their money to try and make more money. They do this by investing in things like stocks, bonds, and other financial products.
When these companies and rich people put their money into Allspring Global Investments, they get a piece of the piggy bank in return. This piece is called a "share" and it represents a portion of the money in the piggy bank.
So, Allspring Global Investments takes all the money from all the people who have shares and then uses it to buy things that they hope will go up in value, like stocks in good companies. If those things go up in value, then the value of the shares in the piggy bank also goes up. And when people sell their shares, they can make a profit because the value of their share has gone up.
Does that make sense, kiddo? Allspring Global Investments is just a really big piggy bank where lots of people put their money to try and make more money by investing in things.
