BGZ | Do mutual funds compound daily or monthly? |

I don't think anything compounds daily, most probably not even monthly. I believe, depending on the mutual fund, they either compound quarterly, bi-annually, or annually. If you do find a mutual fund that compounds daily the percent is going to be almost nothing. You should really figure out what you're going to spend into a mutual fund and what your long term goals are. There are many companies that will take your money and manage it over a long period of time (say $10,000) so that in 30 years that original 10K is now 1-2 million dollars at your retirement age. |

A mutual fund is a basket of @ 150 diversified stocks and bonds that is profesionally managed--they grow by the aggregate calculation of the collective values divided by the number of units outstanding. This is done once a day at 4 pm est. They do not compound in any way . Their growth or decline is a direct reflection of the underlying investments contained in the basket. |

Mutual funds don't pay interest, they pay distributions. The size of these can vary payment to payment, depending, among other things, how profitable the fund is over that period, whether the underlying securities pay interest or dividends, etc. Most funds distribute annually or quarterly, monthly income funds distribute monthly. |

They don't compound. A bank account compounds interest, monthly quarterly or yearly.
A mutual fund increases or decreases in price based on the value of the shares held in the fund. The price increase is the average of the increase in the shares held. Mutual funds do pay the holders a dividend if the stocks they hold pay one. This is either passed on to the mutual fund shareholders, or reinvested to purchase more mutual fund shares for the shareholders. Each shareholder tells the mutual fund what he wants done with the dividend. Some reinvest the dividends.This is the best way to make money. Some take it as a quarterly check from the fund. With Dividend Reinvestment Plans the dividend money buys more shares for the holder. Then if the stock price increases, the sharholder has made money both ways. If you reinvest the dividend you are, in effect getting free shares. |

This question is like asking if stocks compound monthly or daily. The answer is "No."
Mutual funds are set equal to the value of their holdings minus any fees. The holdings can be made up of lots of financial instruments. If they hold stock -- then the question of compounding doesn't make sense. But they could hold bonds. European bonds compound yearly. US Bonds compound twice a year. They could hold CDs or other money-market instruments that compound daily. The could hold mortgages that compound monthly.
So -- the questions doesn't really make sense -- unless you restrict your question to Money Market Mutual Funds -- which compound daily. |

The only "compounding" is when the fund issues dividends or capital gains distributions, and if you have your dividends and gains reinvested. Mutual funds issue dividends once, twice, or 4 times a year, depending on the fund. |
