A share (equity or preference) is a piece of a particular company or organisation. You are the direct owner of a part of the company issuing the shares. You have the voting rights at the shareholder's meet, corresponding to the proportion of the shares held by you.

A mututal fund is a fund mobilised by a group of investors to pick up shares of one or more companies. Through an investment manager and asset management companies, the mututal fund announces its intention of investing in some specified sectors or across a broad spectrum of stocks and shares and invites investors to subscribe to the mutual fund. The fund in turn subscribes to the IPO (Initial Public Offering) or buys the shares from the secondary market. You are thus the direct owner of some units in a mutual fund and through that an indirect owner of a basket of shares.

Mutual funds are either growth oriented or yield oriented, open ended or close ended, sector specific or broad based and so on.

Shares more risky than the mutual funds. But in mutual funds risk is also diversified and earns high rate of return
