An investment company refers to an enterprise organization that collects a large amount of funds and makes a reasonable combination according to its investment objectives. Investment companies in a broad sense include trust and investment companies, finance companies, investment banks, fund companies, commercial banks, investment departments of insurance companies and other financial institutions, as well as various enterprises engaged in property rights investment and securities investment. Its business scope includes buying stocks and bonds of enterprises, participating in the establishment and business activities of enterprises, providing medium and long-term loans, managing domestic and foreign government bonds and fund management. The main source of funds is to issue its own bonds, stocks or fund units, obtain loans from other banks and accept entrusted deposits. In a narrow sense, an investment company refers to the main body of a legal person investment fund and is a profit-making joint stock limited company established according to law. Investors become shareholders by buying shares in the company, and the shareholders' meeting chooses an investment management company to manage the company's assets.
"Industry" is actually a general term, which is generally considered as a production-oriented company, while a business-oriented company is generally not called industry. For example: * * Industrial Co., Ltd., * * * Industrial Co., Ltd., etc. When we see the word "industry", we can generally confirm that the company is a production company rather than a management company. Of course, what I said is only general, not absolute. Some operating companies will pretend to be "industries" in order to show their strength.
According to the company law, "industry" does not represent and determine the nature of the company, but an idiom. Of course, we should be careful when using this word.
