• Money earned by investing in mutual funds can be
  classified in three ways
• Income earned from dividends on stocks and
  interest on bonds. A fund pays out all the income
  it receives over the year to its owners.
• On selling of securities that have increased in
  price, the fund has a capital gain. Most funds
  also pass the same in form of distribution.
• If theres an increase in price of holdings which
  have not been sold so far by the fund managers,
  this increases the price of funds shares. You
  can then sell your share of mutual funds for a
  profit.

  you a choice either to receive a cheque for
  distributions or to reinvest the earnings and get
  more shares.
