Mutual Funds

What We Do

A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment fund that pools money from many investors to purchase securities. Mutual funds are often classified by their principal investments: money market funds, bond funds, equity funds or hybrid funds.

Mutual funds have advantages and disadvantages compared to direct investing in individual securities. The advantages of mutual funds include economies of scale, diversification, liquidity, and professional management.Mutual funds are regulated by governmental bodies and are required to publish information including performance, comparison of performance to benchmarks, fees charged, and securities held. A single mutual fund may have several share classes by which larger investors pay lower fees.

Mutual Funds score over other asset classes given the advantages of convenience & cost-effectiveness which at the same time strives to attain the objectives of capital appreciation/protection& income generation
