A mutual fund is essentially a collection of stocks and/or bonds. Investors can earn money from a mutual fund in three primary ways. Firstly, income is generated from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds, which the fund distributes to its investors throughout the year. Secondly, if the fund sells securities that have increased in price, it realizes capital gains, which are often passed on to investors as distributions. Finally, if the fund's holdings increase in value but are not sold by the fund manager, the fund's shares increase in price, allowing investors to sell their mutual fund shares for a profit. This multifaceted approach to generating returns makes mutual funds a versatile investment option for individuals seeking to grow their wealth over time
An open-end fund is a diversified portfolio of pooled investor money that can issue an unlimited number of shares. The fund sponsor sells shares directly to investors and redeems them as well.
A closed-end fund (CEF) or closed-ended fund is a collective investment model based on issuing a fixed number of shares which are not redeemable from the fund.
An equity fund is a mutual fund that invests principally in stocks. It can be actively or passively (index fund) managed. Equity funds are also known as stock funds.
A bond fund or debt fund is a fund that invests in bonds or other debt securities. Bond funds can be contrasted with stock funds and money funds.
Hybrid funds are mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that invest in more than one type of investment security, such as stocks and bonds.
Income funds are mutual funds or ETFs that prioritize current income, often in the form of interest or dividend paying investments.
Real assets are physical assets that have an intrinsic worth due to their substance and properties. Real assets include precious metals, commodities, real estate, land, equipment, and natural resources.
A sector fund is a fund that invests solely in businesses that operate in a particular industry or sector of the economy. Sector funds are commonly structured as mutual funds or exchange-traded funds
