Mutual 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.

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 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.
