A practical introduction to pooled investing.
Discover how mutual funds bring investors together, how professionals manage investments, and what every beginner should know about risk.
Start with the pool.
Then look at what is inside.
A mutual fund combines money from many investors into one portfolio. You hold units in the fund, rather than choosing each investment yourself.
Depending on its strategy, a fund may invest in stocks, bonds, cash or other assets. Every fund has its own mandate—read its documents to understand the actual holdings.
A fund manager researches investments and manages the portfolio within the fund’s strategy. Review the objectives, fees and risk disclosures; expertise does not guarantee returns.
Fund values can rise or fall. Holding different investments may reduce concentration risk, but losses remain possible and returns are not guaranteed.
