Fund of Funds are often an excellent way for an investor to get complete diversification within a single mutual fund.

Any good portfolio will consist of a wide range of asset classes such as Large Cap, Mid Cap, Small Cap, International, Emerging Markets, Commodities (equities) and Bond Funds (including short and long duration as well as a mix of credit quality - High Yield being a synonym for low credit quality).

Let's suppose the optimum model for you has gold as 2% of your total portfolio, which is $30,000. That 2% would represent $600, but the Gold Fund in that fund family has a minimum investment of $2,000. That same fund family probably has a series of Fund of Fund offerings of varying risk profiles. The manager holds other, specialized funds, each focused on specific sectors in a combination that represents the entire range of the investment universe (or most of it). By choosing the one that has a risk profile that fits your emotional comfort zone, you get a balanced portfolio that is professionally managed and regularly rebalanced without having to do it yourself.

1st answer 'money' is correct.

there are funds which have cross holdings with others - to spread risks and share the benefits. this is in respect to Mutual funds.

When people think of mutual funds, they think of a fund which purchases individual securities -- individual stocks and/or bonds.

A "fund of funds" is a type of mutual fund which buys mutual funds. Typically the fund does this to achieve a particular asset allocation.

Common mutual funds investing money in stocks.

But, FOF is nothing but investing the entire amount on various mutual funds. For Example: DSP Merril Lynch Gold fund is a FOF in nature by purchasing units of its own foreign mutual funds investing on gold mining companies.
