    Mutual funds allow investors to pool their money together under professional management. The three key components of a mutual fund are the sponsors who set up the fund, the trustees who oversee operations, and the asset management company which invests the funds. Mutual funds can be classified by their objectives such as equity funds which invest in stocks, debt funds which invest in bonds, or balanced funds which hold a mix of both. Funds can also be open-ended, allowing investors to freely purchase or redeem shares at net asset value, or closed-ended which are traded on an exchange. Mutual funds offer benefits like diversification, low costs, and potential returns.

    Mutual Funds

    What is Mutual Fund


    Mutual funds enable investors to pool their money and place it under professional investment management. The portfolio manager trades the fund's underlying securities, realizing a gain or loss, and collects the dividend or interest income. The investment proceeds are then passed along to the individual investors. (The combined holdings of stocks, bonds, or other securities and assets the fund owns are known as its portfolio.)

    Concept
    A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities.

    The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realised are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them.
    Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.
