Morphology
The meaning 'a pooled supply of money managed to earn a profit' is directly derivable from combining 'investment' (committing money expecting benefit) with 'fund' (a pooled resource). This noun+noun composition follows a common, compositional pattern found cross-linguistically and in everyday finance vocabulary, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Investment fund comes from a simple picture: a fund is a pool of money and investment is putting money into things to make more. So an investment fund is money many people put together and a manager uses it 'to make more money'.
