Investment funds are currently holding very large amounts of cash. Most of their value is held in cash.
The funds should invest more in shares and become more involved in public corporations. Such investments will create more trading in shares and will probably increase the value of public corporations.
To stimulate more investment, funds will not sell shares if their cash level exceeds 50% of the total value of the fund unless they have made a very significant profit on these shares.
The funds will even refuse to sell shares with a loss, even when manual orders are entered, if their cash level is higher than 50% of the total value of the fund but will rather keep these shares in their portfolio.
This upcoming change in the next weeks, is also intended to stimulate more investment and prevent bad transactions that are intended to make money for the country or an enterprise by making the funds sell at a loss.
The percentage of cash will be reduced gradually until nearly all cash held by funds is invested in the share market. |

"The percentage of cash will be reduced gradually until nearly all cash held by funds is invested in the share market."
Does this mean it will move back towards our current system gradually or that we will not be able to make violent trades if our free cash is 40%, 30%, etc.
If the latter how does one benefit from investment funds? |

Also with this being done can we look foward to interest rates increasing? |

The cash level should gradually decline.
if the fund is well invested, it will have all the freedom it wants.
Interest rates can increase if there is someone who wants to pay.
currently, the loan market is fixed.
If we get to a real loan market, rates will depend on availability.
The funds should be able to offer loans in that market.
There is however a lot we need to do before we get to this. |

Andy a question for the GM whens the pop limits being increased? You increased the limit to be 300M but natural pop growth only goes to 80M or so when is this increasing? Makes no point in letting us have 180M people if i have to constantly buy/transfer them and i lose that 1M pop in a few game months to deaths |
