An Mutual Fund is an investment vehicle that is made up of
a pool of funds collected from many investors for the purpose of
investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments
and similar assets. One of the main advantages of mutual funds is that
they give small investors access to professionally managed, diversified
portfolios of equities, bonds and other securities, which would be quite
difficult (if not impossible) to create with a small amount of capital.
