Exchange fund
Imagine you have a toy that you really like, but your friend has a toy that they really like too, and you both really want each other's toys. But neither of you want to give up your own toy, so what can you do?
That's where an exchange fund comes in! It's like a big piggy bank where lots of people put things they like, and then they can trade with each other.
Let's say you put your toy in the exchange fund and your friend puts their toy in too. Now, other people who also have toys they want to trade or exchange can add them to the fund.
Over time, the exchange fund becomes an awesome collection of different toys that lots of people might want to trade for. And since everyone is adding things to the fund, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Eventually, you might find a toy in the exchange fund that you like better than your friend's toy. So you could take that toy out of the fund and give it to your friend in exchange for their toy. And everyone is happy!
In the grown-up world, an exchange fund is similar. It's a pool of money, stocks, or other types of investments that people contribute to. They can then trade or exchange shares of these investments with each other. It's a way to diversify your investments and potentially get access to a wider range of opportunities.
