as a well-run investment fund
"en bon fonds d'investissement"
=>
"as a well-run investment fund"
"bon" is there to underline that the way the fund in managed is a good one - (close to the idea of "due diligence"); to remind that the management team is the opposite of incompentent/ignorant/reckless;
"well-run" is a good option - shorter than "soundly managed".
example:
"Managed Mutual Funds
Well-run managed funds that have long-term performance records that are above their peer and category benchmarks are also excellent investing opportunities. There are a number of top-rated fund managers that consistently deliver exceptional results. Such well-run funds will register very high on the Fund Investment-Quality Scorecard you are learning about in these pages. ... "

: something like that? so sort of but not really? /neutral doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong. It's a wishy-washy explanation for someone who needs to how to translate it.

I'm French, not English, and gave an indication of the meaning of "En bon fonds d'investissement". By the way, you didn't say where it was faulty?

: Hello. That is the idea in French, but we wouldn't really say that in English. I prefer just "legitimate". It's possible to not translate, though, as "bon" is a filler word in French that is clearly implied without, imho. Take care.

as an investment fund
I can't find any evidence to support my answer, but I don't think 'en bon' has any qualitative connotations. I just don't think it would be appropriate in this context to say 'as a good investment fund' or, as Frédéric suggests, 'a duly diligent investment fund'. It just means 'as an investment fund with a maximum horizon of five years'.
