MUTUAL FUND

A mutual fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal.

The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares ,debentures and other securities.

The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realised are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units owned by them.

Thus the mutual fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to investment in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.
