Comments:
1) The question is monolingual (English), and the Asker is from Romania, so languages other than English, IMO, do not help much.
2) Asker: while I understand you are new to the forum, you have requested an explanation of three (3) separate terms, which contravenes ProZ rules. Just so that you know for future reference, the recommended length is a word or phrase not exceeding 10 words. 3) Notwithstanding, while I try to abide by the rules set out, because you are new, I have provided my thoughts on the three terms you asked for: "investment fund", "investment pool" and "investment vehicle".
