Mutual funds are one of the most common ways to invest in assets. It is a kind of financial vehicle made up of the money collected from various investors to invest in securities such as stocks, money market instruments, bonds, and other assets. Mutual funds are handled by professional money managers, who allot the fund’s assets and try to generate capital gains for the fund’s investors. Mutual funds provide individual or small investors access to professionally managed portfolios of bonds, equities, and other securities.
