What is an investment company?

From the perspective of company law, firstly, there is no concept of investment company in China's company law, which clearly stipulates that there are only two kinds of limited liability companies and joint stock limited companies. Therefore, as far as the classification of companies is concerned, there is no such category as investment companies.

Second, speaking from the company name, the so-called investment company is generally mainly engaged in the investment scope of economy, trade, assets and management, and of course it mainly depends on the business scope indicated in the company's articles of association.

An investment company is an enterprise legal person who invests money or assets in enterprises or individuals other than itself, and obtains direct operating income from the investment of the money or assets or realizes the return of funds through the realization of shares.

At present, in China's financial market, investment companies generally appear as "investment banks". As the name implies, an investment company must have a large amount of its own funds in order to realize the real investment operation. At the same time, due to the difficulty of investment itself, another similar intermediary enterprise is needed to serve investment companies and enterprises, so there are many investment consulting companies in the market at present. Consulting companies don't have the real investment ability, but only bridge the gap between the project and the funders in investment activities and charge them consulting fees.
