What is mutual fund accounting?

Mutual Fund is a Fund established in the form of a trust by a sponsor to raise money by the trustees through the sale of units to the public under one or more schemes for investing in securities in accordance with the regulations. Thus, a mutual fund collects money from the investors, issues certificates to them known as units and invests the money collected in securities so as to achieve mutual benefits in terms of capital appreciation in such securities. It is a non-depository, non-banking financial intermediary, which acts as an important vehicle for bringing wealth holders and deficit units together indirectly. Mutual funds are distinct from portfolio management schemes and are essential vehicles for collective investment in stock market, risk diversification and expert management advice of the fund managers.
