What are Investment Funds?
Discover the path to smart investing with mutual funds.
Grow your money efficiently and safely.
Mutual funds are like teams of investors who pool their money to buy different things, such as bits of companies (called stocks), houses or loans (called bonds). Experts look after these funds and can mix them so you don’t rely on just one asset.
Some funds follow specific rules, such as index funds, which copy entire markets. Others concentrate on houses(real estate funds) or may mix a bit of everything(mixed funds). When you invest, your money can grow with ‘compound interest‘, which is like a ‘snowball effect’. Some funds are safer(fixed income funds) and others are riskier(equity funds). If you are interested in currencies, there are dollar funds.
