Mutual Funds

Explanation:

Mutual funds are investment tools where money is collected from different individuals and institutions and invested in the financial markets. Professional companies manage mutual funds. The money collected is invested in a combination of securities, bonds, and financial instruments referred to as a portfolio.

The mutual fund managers carefully select securities that form a portfolio. A Portfolio is subdivided into smaller units or shares which investors purchase. One unit of a mutual fund will, therefore, comprise a basket of carefully selected securities. Usually, fund managers charge a management fee for their services.
