The CDH Balanced Fund pools funds from its shareholders. One-half of the funds is invested in fixed-income investments. The other half is invested in publicly traded shares, such as ordinary shares of the companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange.

 

CDH Balanced Fund shareholders enjoy three-fold benefits:

capital gains, dividends, and interest payments. Capital gains are earned when the shares in which the Fund has invested have their prices rising beyond the original purchase price. Dividends are investors' shares of profits made by companies whose shares the Fund has invested in. Interests are returns on investments in fixed-income securities.
