Investor Information
Mutual Funds
Mutual funds are a popular way to invest in securities. Because mutual funds can offer built-in diversification and professional management, they offer certain advantages over purchasing individual stocks and bonds. But, like investing in any security, investing in a mutual fund involves certain risks, including the possibility that you may lose money.
While there are literally thousands of individual mutual funds, there are only a handful of major fund categories.
