Individual investors in the Republic of Serbia and investments funds: Factors that separate them

Every citizen of the Republic of Serbia has another opportunity to invest and increase their income - investment funds. The first funds began its operations shortly after adoption of the Law on Investment Funds in 2006 which provided legal framework for their establishment and doing business. The initial years of business were marked with negative influences as a result of great crisis within world markets. The main reasons for limitation of greater investment of individual investors in investment funds are both low standard and financial status of citizens of Serbia, underdeveloped national economy, underdeveloped financial markets and consequently, low and negligible investment funds' income.
