Investment funds are an important player on the financial markets for over twenty years. It is hardly known that the institution of collective investment in securities may be deriven from the Middle Ages' institution of contracts of survival. There were two main types of those conctracts: life annuities and tontines. Life annuity was the contract whereby the borrower paid interest to the lender for the remainder of the lender's life. A tontine was the contract between the borrower and the group of individuals that obliged the borrower to pay an annuity which was divided among the surviving members. After the death of the members the payment was increased. First collective investment scheme was established in 1774 by Abraham Van Ketwich who invited subscribers to a fund that would invest in debt instruments issued by foreign governments as well as in plantation loans. During the 1780's and 1790's more than thirty new funds emerged with similar investment objective: speculation on the credit of the United States. All those funds were successfully placed in the Amsterdam market - the most developed financial market in eighteenth century. During the eighteen century Britain became the world's superpower and creditor. In consequence of home industry development, British funds looked for investment opportunities overseas allocating investor's money in the U. S. railroad industry. Investment (or so-called 'mutual') funds became popular in the U.S. in I920's. The growing inflow of assets was not supported by means of investor protection. In result of the fraudulent activities of some funds and the Great Depression causing many funds go bankrupt, the fund was suffering from deep lack of reliability. The first worldwide investor protection and transparency regulations were introduced in 1930's making the first step for building the foundations of funds' popularity that started in 1970's.
