What is a Mutual Fund?
A mutual fund is a type of financial vehicle made up of a pool of money collected from many investors to invest in securities like stocks, bonds, money market instruments, and other assets.
What does a mutual fund give investors?
Mutual Funds give small or individual investors access to diversified, professionally managed portfolios at a low price.
How are mutual funds categorized?
Mutual Funds are divided into different types of categories, showing the kinds of securities they invest in, their investment objectives, and the types of returns they seek.
Advantages of Mutual Funds
Diversification – Helps an investor mix various investments and assets within a portfolio to reduce risk and improve returns.
Easy access – An investor can buy or sell mutual funds with ease, making them highly liquid investments.
Cheap access to various assets – A Mutual Fund having pooled money from many smaller investors, can invest in certain assets or take larger positions than a smaller investor could.
Professional fund management – A big advantage of mutual funds is that you don’t have to pick stocks and manage your investments. Instead, a professional investment manager like ARM Investment Managers takes care of all this using careful research and skillful trading.
Variety to pick from– Mutual funds provide investors with opportunities for foreign and domestic investment that may not be directly accessible to ordinary investors.
Transparency – Mutual funds abide by industry regulation which ensures accountability and fairness to investors.
