To clients who arrange electronic delivery of reports (by email), ZB Invest offers additional reporting email alert. Email alarms may be used to monitor the value of your investments in the funds managed by ZB Invest, and also to receive notifications on unit price changes (unit price increase or decrease) and unit balance. Alarms are sent by email when conditions are met, i.e. the defined percentage growth or drop of unit price.

At any time. When investing in a fund, the investment period is not defined, so the funds may be withdrawn from the fund at any time. When purchasing (selling) units, depending on your needs, you may request the sale of all of your units or define the amount of funds to be paid out. Unit purchase can be simple and quick if you use the free service ZABA Link.

The investor will receive the amount of sold Fund units no later than seven work days from the receipt of a valid request for sale in cash funds (usually the next work day).

Investing into investment funds enables higher yield compared to standard types of saving because of the direct access to domestic and global money and capital markets. By purchasing units in an investment fund, you invest your money together with other investors with a relatively small stake in different types of assets. ZB Invest offers various attractive investment funds and investment products which, with professional management and appropriate yield, may meet the needs of any investor, primarily depending on their investment goals, investment horizon and risk appetite.

Most people can achieve an increase in the real value of their assets and thus improve their financial security if they save and invest in capital markets over a longer period of time. When you invest your money, your money works for you. For example, if you make a term deposit or buy a bond, you earn interest. If you buy a stock of a company paying dividends, you earn the dividend, and if the price of the stock rises, you earn the difference in the price as well. Historically speaking, investments in stock on financial markets have been treated as a means of protection against the negative effects of inflation. If you hide your money under your mattress, it doesn't work for you and you'll never have more than the amount you have hidden away. Money you invest generates more money because of interest and dividends, or due to positive changes in the price of stocks, bonds or fund units. You can start with relatively small (monthly) amounts. It's never too early for investments.

Depending on the fund strategy, i.e., price trend for the securities into which a specific fund invests, negative yields are possible as well, however, loss of principal is almost impossible given the diversification of investments in the fund (the fund invests into various types of assets, various currencies, economic sectors).

The safety of an investment depends on the investment strategy of a particular fund. For example, a fund investing in deposits and short-term bonds is characterised by low fluctuations in price and low investment risk, unlike equity funds, which have higher fluctuations in unit price, the possibility of achieving higher yield, but also the possibility of larger price drops.
