What does investment holding company mean?

An investment holding company refers to a company that controls a company by holding a certain number of shares. Investment holding companies are divided into pure holding companies and mixed holding companies according to their holding methods.

Pure holding companies do not directly engage in production and operation business, but only carry out capital operation by holding shares of other companies. Hybrid holding companies not only carry out capital operation through holding, but also engage in some production and operation businesses.
