Investment fund units represent fractional ownership shares in a collective investment scheme, where each unit signifies a proportional claim on the fund’s underlying assets and earnings. When applied to digital asset funds, these units allow investors to participate in a diversified portfolio of cryptocurrencies or other digital assets managed by professionals. Holders of these units benefit from pooled resources and professional management without directly holding individual digital assets. The value of each unit fluctuates with the performance of the fund’s total holdings.

Key considerations involve ensuring transparent valuation, robust custody solutions for the underlying digital assets, and adequate investor protection measures.
