- Equity Funds - These are Funds that invest mainly in equity and are generally characterized by a high degree of risk.
- Flexible funds - These are funds that have no restrictions on the distribution of assets (equity bonds): their investment policy is not linked to a reference point, but to a measure of portfolio risk (Var).
