How do Mutual Funds work?

Modified on Sun, 11 Jul, 2021 at 11:52 AM

A Mutual Fund comprises of the money pooled in by a large number of people (or investors) who share a common investment objective. This fund is managed by a professional fund manager. 


Each investor owns units, which represent a portion of the holdings of the fund and the income/gains generated from this collective investment is distributed proportionately amongst the investors.


Thus, a Mutual Fund is one of the most viable investment options for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.
