About Mutual Funds

A mutual fund is an investment vehicle where a professional money manager collects money from many investors to create a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other securities. Investors buy shares, or "units," in the fund, sharing in the potential gains and losses of the entire pool of investments. 

This offers investors professional management, diversification, and access to a variety of financial instruments they might not be able to afford or manage on their own. A mutual fund is a financial instrument that pools funds from several investors to purchase stocks, bonds, money market instruments, and other assets. 

These funds are professionally managed by financial advisers who allocate assets to generate income for investors through dividends and capital gains.
