Investment certificate

An investment certificate is a financial instrument that provides investors with access to the performance of various assets, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, or indices, without directly owning those assets. Investment certificates are often issued by banks or other financial institutions and can come in various forms, including certificates with fixed returns, guaranteed minimum returns, or variable returns depending on the performance of the underlying assets. These certificates allow for investment diversification and can offer different levels of risk and return depending on the specifics of the certificate.
