A mutual fund is a professionally managed type of collective investment scheme that pools money from many investors and invests it in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities. The mutual fund will have a fund manager that trades the pooled money on a regular basis. The net proceeds or losses are then typically distributed to the investors annually. Since 1940, there have been three basic types of investment companies in the United States: open-end funds, also known in the U.S. as mutual funds; unit investment trusts (UITs); and closed-end funds. Similar funds also operate in Canada. However, in the rest of the world, mutual fund is used as a generic term for various types of collective investment vehicles, such as unit trusts, open-ended investment companies (OEICs), unitized insurance funds, and undertakings for collective investments in transferable securities (UCITS).

Mutual fund datapoint of the day Reuters Blogs all 10 news articles » From Google News Search: "mutual funds" Are mutual funds required to disclose ALL fees they will charge in the prospectus? Q. I've reviewed the prospectus for American Funds Growth Fund of America. According to the prospectus they only charge a set up fee and annual fee of $10 for class A-529 accounts. I have a regular class A retirement account, but am being charged a $10 annual fee and was charged the $10 setup fee. I am positive this fee is not listed in the prospectus. Can mutual fund companies charge fees that are not disclosed? This is NOT a college account. It is a class A IRA. Asked by Sissy - Sun Apr 20 15:27:51 2008 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. The fees are disclosed on the application and on page 4 in the program description. "You will be charged a $10 fee for opening an Account with CollegeAmerica as well as an annual $10 Account maintenance fee. In addition, you will be charged fees and expenses associated with the applicable American Funds share class." you can also find it on their website.

Asked by Ryan L - Wed Jul 30 09:56:19 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, Morningstar is good but the information is limited unless you pay a fee. If you have an IRA you should check with them as well. Most investment companies have excellent mutual fund screeners now. I use TD Ameritrade and they have great investment tools that help me pick my stocks and mutual funds.

Q. Lets say I have $500 dollars and I want to buy a bond, how would it work? Also, how exactly do mutual funds work? Asked by The Question Asker - Mon Mar 9 22:04:07 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. A bond is a loan to a borrower with a promise to repay principal plus interest to the lender. A mutual fund is an investment that pools money of investors together, then gives it to a money manager than invests in a number of securities, such as stocks, bonds, money markets, real estate, precious metals, etc. For now, I'd put that money in a savings account.
