It really depends on the mutual fund you choose. What mutual funds really provide is investment diversity for the investor who does not have the time/inclination/information/resources to diversify his or her own portfolio. Mutual funds therefore do not usually provide the same explosive growth potential that individual stocks may (if you invest $100 in XYZ and XYZ then discovers a cure for cancer---odds are your $100 would grow to $10000 almost overnight), they also provide far greater stability (if instead of a cure for cancer, XYZ were found to have produced toys with lead in them---your $100 dollar investment may now be worth only $10...a Mutual Fund on the other hand, if it was invested in XYZ would in all likelihood only take a small hit from the crash of XYZs stock).
Of course---with all of that said, there are a ton of Mutual Funds out there, some investing in high risk ventures, others with much more conservative investments---so the best advice would be to identify your investment goals (quick score, long term investment, investing for your retirement), and if you cannot consult an expert---at least do the research and find a Fund that has a portfolio that matches up with your investment goals. |

The answer to that would be the same as "do cars run well?"
It could be "yes" and it could be "no." There are thousands of different mutual funds that invest in a LOT of different companies - some small, some large - and in a LOT of other commodities ranging from precious metals to real estate to currency to just about everything else.
For MOST people, investing in INDEX FUNDS are the best bet. Do some research and find a financial advisor who will make recommendations to you FOR A FEE (yes - pay a fee!). STAY AWAY from financial advisors who work on commission (rarely are they going to recommend low cost funds as they have a vested interest in higher cost / higher fee products).
Good luck and I hope this helps! |

depends on your goals and time frame. And what mutual funds you invest in. Generally, they are great investments with proven track records and good managers. |

They are great for diversification, but certain ones can be very risky, certain ones can be very conservative
Get a financial advisor, and see where your risk tolerance falls. |

Mutual Funds are unique tool to accumulate wealth over time. By subscribing to a good Fund's systematic investment plan you can reduce the risk and enhance the risk adjusted return over a period of time. This is not recommended for the jetsetter who are in a hurry to burn their money. it is a patience game played with determined discipline. |

I believe they are. Since I don't have the knowledge or timing of Buffet or Trump, I'll stick with them.
and...As they always say...don't keep all your eggs in one basket(why have all your money in one stock when you can be in many).
This pertains to younger people. I wouldn't reccomend all mutual funds for the 50 and older crowd. |
