Once you invest in mutual funds, does it mean?
u r guaranteed to get your money back with interests years later?

Mutual funds are not guaranteed. Over the long range, however, mutual funds return more money than bank deposits which are guaranteed. Keep in mind that companies are not in business to lose money or go bankrupt. There will be ups and downs, but if you want to make a good return, you have to be in mutual funds (or business, or real estate).

That said, we are about to enter a recession, and most mutual funds may go down for a short period. (Don't worry about it.)

Nope. Not insured at all. The price of the mutual fund is dependent upon the stocks/investments that it owns.

Now, over a time horizon of years, the market has always gone up, so it's likely you will make money if you have the money invested for many years. But nothing is a guarantee.

No. Mutual funds are less risky than investing in individual stocks because of the diversification benefit, but there is still risk.

Essentially, diversification lowers risk because if some stocks are doing well, other stocks are probably doing poorly. There is a general trend for stocks as a whole to go up over time, but individual stocks can be very volitile in the short run. When you diversify, some of your stocks are probably doing well while others are not doing so well, so they cancel each other out in the short term. Meanwhile, in the long run, all the stocks will trend upwards, and you can capture that growth.

All of that does NOT mean that anything is guaranteed. You can still lose money in mutual funds in the short run.

no... mutual funds move with the markets and the indexes that they track. On any given day you can lose money. I have a decent sized retirement savings. On a bad day at the market, I can lose $1,000. On a good day, I can gain $1,000.

haha, no... that would be a certificate of deposit / guaranteed investment note

I think what you are referring to is call bonds.

Mutual funds are just investment pools that invest in a particular assets. The return and capital you invested is not guaranteed.

But looking at statistics, investing in mutual funds can give a near similar return to stocks and less risky. It all depends on the mutual fund manager that is managing the investment pool.

Hope the information helps!

There are no guarantees with investing - mutual funds or stocks or bonds. A mutual fund collects money from lots of investors and has a professional invest them according to the approach outlined in the prospectus. Some may invest in Large US Company stocks, others in Short term bonds etc.

If you are investing for the long term e.g. for retirement in 10 or more years from now a good mutual fund will probably be better than "safe" savings - but no guarantee.
