Jane Doe | Can someone explain to me in "layman terms"? |
What exactly is a mutual fund? How do they work? I have found many sites that explain them, but they always use fancy financial terms that I don't quite understand?! Thanks for your feedback! :) |

I'll try to use very basic "layman terms"
A mutual fund is a registered company. (Registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission - SEC)
The purpose of the company is to make security investments using the monies received from people who invest in the fund.
The more people that buy the Fund shares, the more the fund has to invest in securities.
When the investment the fund makes, pay dividends, those dividends are distributed to all the fund share holders,
When the fund sells investments and makes money, these monies are paid to the fund share holders.
When you buy a Fund, you become a share holder, The percentage of the fund you own is your dollar amount you invested versus shareholders
Each day the fund looks at the market value of their investments and divides by the shares of those invested in the fund so that they can provide the asset value of the fund.
To all you know it all investment guru's I've tried to make this response as simple as possible without getting into some confusing details |

Instead of going to the butcher to get your meat, the baker to get your bread, the farmer to get your veggies and milk,
the grocery store puts them all together for your convience.
That is a mutual fund in "layman terms". |

Basically a mutual fund might be considered as a pool of money invested by people with relatively little to invest.
The pool employs analysts who invest those funds in a variety of stocks bonds and other investments. The experts attempt to get a better return than the market average. The small investor theoretically wins because of their expertise and because the lower commissions based on volume than he or she would be otherwise able to attain. This is supposed to offset the fees and expenses the mutual fund charges the small investor. It does not always work out |

Try your local public library for books written for teens on investing. One title is Street Wise, a Guide to Teen Investors.
You can try www.kidsmoney.org, although I didn't find any quick answer there.
Basically a mutual fund is a fund owned by a company that invests in a variety of stocks, bonds, and other investments. Instead of buying shares (stock) in various companies and buying bonds, you pay into the mutual fund. You own a portion of the entire fund. You get a share of the dividends and interest earned by the fund (after the costs of the fund.) The value of your share in the fund can go up and down just as the stock and bond markets can go up and down.
Some funds specialize in certain types of stocks/bonds. |

Tthe goal is for a particular fund to invest in an agreed upon manner, defined in a prospectus, mutual for many people to invest to see where a "NAV" or net asset value per share will go. There are fees for that money management that are subtracted from your gains or losses. You pick the fund and the goals. Generally, Mutual Funds have many stocks in them and are weighted according to the prospectus and or the fund manager/staff. |

A bunch of people pool their money and hire a manager. They split the profits and expenses in proportion to their investment. In this way, they can get diversification and professional management that they could not get on their own, as well as volume discounts on brokerage commissions. |

you invest your money into a fund that is made of several different stocks and bonds. Based on the performance of all of those individual stocks and bonds you will make (or lose) money.
Mutual funds are a lot safer than regular stocks and whoever you choose to invest your money with will have a number of different funds already set up to suit your needs. I personally invest with Vanguard. They dont really charge you what everyone else does to set these things up.
