What happens to my mutual fund shares if the mutual fund company goes bankrupt?

I have my money invested in several mutual funds with a large mutual fund company. What happens if said mutual fund company goes bankrupt, maybe after fraud or an accounting scandal? Is my money insured in any way, or is it gone?

It's like stock. You're toast.

you lose it.

you will have money after settling to all like workers,banks etc....
most probably ur the loser....

is very hard let a mutual fund company bankrupt, unless there more than 60% unsuccessful investment.
have you read the policy?
it should be in there. my mutual fund is not responsible the lost.
if a mutual fund is bankrupt, you lost what you invest in.
i believe there is nothing getting back!!!

that's why they say
it's subjected to market risks...
read the offer doc carefully....
