A mutual fund is an investment product that pools money from thousands of investors and then makes purchases of stocks, bond, reals estate and other investment devices.
The benefit is that you get more diversification and management with small amounts of money. I suggest checking out Yahoo Finance or Morningstar to learn more. |

Padre has the most consise answer, but let me elaborate just a little. There are several different types of mutual funds--more than several actually.
There are index funds that are unmanaged funds that track a particular index such as the S&P 500. In fact there are over a hundred such funds that track almost everything imaginable. These are popular at the moment because they have low expenses. But many do not have much of a track record and over time they may become less popular.
There are closed end funds that are traded like stocks. They issue shares and then use the proceeds to invest in stocks, bonds, and what have you. There are hundreds of these also. These have one advantage. They sometimes sell at a significant dicount to net assets. It is like buying stocks on sale.
There are open end funds that are sold directly by mutual fund companies. They trade at net asset value. Some have a front end sales fee of about 5% and some do not. There are thousands of these. They are very profitable for the mutual fund companies. Some are also profitable for investors. 70% are not. |
