If you’re looking for a way to invest in the stock and bond markets but don’t have the time or experience to develop and monitor a portfolio of individual securities, consider mutual funds. Offering diversification, professional management and flexibility, mutual funds can be a beneficial tool for investing.
What Is a Mutual Fund?
A mutual fund is an investment that combines money from thousands of individual investors into one large pool. This money is then invested into a broad range of stocks, bonds or a combination of both. Run by a professional money manager, the fund is owned by the many individual investors who’ve purchased shares in the fund. Depending on the types of investments a fund owns, the risk levels can vary. Mutual funds are very popular investments inside savings vehicles such as 401(k)s, IRAs and 529 College Savings Plans.
