Title: MUTUAL FUNDS
1MUTUAL FUNDS
2Mutual Funds What Are They?
- A mutual fund is nothing more than a collection
of stocks and/or bonds. You can think of a mutual
fund as a company that brings together a group of
people and invests their money in stocks, bonds,
and other securities. Each investor owns shares,
which represent a portion of the holdings of the
fund. You can make money from a mutual fund in
three ways 1) Income is earned from dividends
on stocks and interest on bonds. A fund pays out
nearly all of the income it receives over the
year to fund owners in the form of a
distribution. 2) If the fund sells securities
that have increased in price, the fund has a
capital gain. Most funds also pass on these gains
to investors in a distribution. 3) If fund
holdings increase in price but are not sold by
the fund manager, the fund's shares increase in
price. You can then sell your mutual fund shares
for a profit.
3Concept
- 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 realized 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.

leeway.In the U.S. about 9.7 million households
will manage their assets on-line by the year
