Mutual Funds
A mutual fund is a large pool of money collected from investors like us. Then, the people who manage the fund invest the money in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities – or some combination of them all. As mutual-fund owners (also known as shareholders), we don’t own the securities in the fund directly. Instead, we own a slice of the fund, which is divvied up into shares. As the value of the investments inside rise or fall, so does the value of our stake in the fund.
