In the past couple of months local collective investment schemes have managed to accumulate significant financial resours and currently the assets of mutual funds and investment companies are on track to surpass the 500 mln leva landmark, Geno Tonev, portfolio manager of Ug Market Maximum, told Profit.bg.

I expect growth to continue to develop with the same rate over the next couple of years and I wouldn’t be surprised if in about a year the assets of collective investment schemes surpass 1 bln leva, Tonev said.

This goal is absolutely achievable, considering the perspectives ahead of Bulgarian economy and the growing income of the population. Sooner or later mutual funds will become the key players on the local stock market, and I really hope that by then the market itself will have developed enough to stand their financial power, Geno Tonev added.
