What is the difference between a group and an investment group?

The difference between a group and an investment group is as follows: a group is an economic entity composed of several interrelated companies or organizations. These companies or organizations usually operate in different industries, fields or geographical areas, but they are related to each other through ownership, control relations or financial interests. The Group aims to achieve more efficient resource integration, management and collaborative work, so as to improve the economic scale and competitiveness of the whole group. Investment group is an organizational form in which a group of investors or investment institutions unite to carry out investment activities. These investors may be individuals, private equity funds, venture capital firms or other institutions. The goal of an investment group is to realize the return on investment by investing in different assets, projects or enterprises. Investment groups usually provide funds and support to the investee by purchasing equity, providing funds or other investment methods to obtain profits. Generally speaking, the group focuses on the operation and resource integration between multiple companies or organizations, while the investment group focuses on investment activities and capital allocation. The constituent units of the group can be companies with different businesses, while the investment group focuses on investing and obtaining return on investment.
