Mutual Funds
A mutual fund is an investment company that pools money from many investors and invests these funds in a diversified portfolio of securities based upon the specified objectives of the fund. This enables individuals to invest in a diversified mix of assets without being burdened by the time-consuming responsibilities associated with analyzing and choosing their own stocks. When you invest in a mutual fund, you are buying shares (or portions) of the mutual fund and become a shareholder of the fund.

Some of the advantages of mutual funds include professional management, simplicity, diversification, cost-efficiency due to economies of scale, and convenience. Diversification does not guarantee against loss; it is a method used to help manage investment risk. We'll provide you with additional details about the variety of mutual funds currently available to help you meet your particular investment objective.
