A mutual fund is a company that pools money from many investors and invests the money in securities such as stocks, bonds, and short-term debt. The combined holdings of the mutual fund are known as its portfolio. Investors buy shares in mutual funds.When you invest in mutual funds, you can earn in two different ways – through dividends and capital gains. The funds that were invested in stocks provide dividends based on their market earnings. If you choose to receive these dividends, then you earn this amount.Mutual funds are largely a safe investment, seen as being a good way for investors to diversify with minimal risk. But there are circumstances in which a mutual fund is not a good choice for a market participant, especially when it comes to fees.
