An example of a public fund is a pooled investment vehicle that collects capital from many investors and allocates it into a defined strategy, such as bonds, equities, real estate, or mortgage-backed assets. In contrast, The CEO Fund focuses on private, real estate-backed mortgage note opportunities for accredited investors seeking passive income and portfolio diversification.
