What is mutual fund Is mutual fund investements is risky?

Mutual Fund

ther are different kinds of funds, some more risky then others, but all less riskier then if you invest in individual stocks.

Now, a mutual fund is a portfolio of stocks that is managed by the mutual fund, in this you don't actually own any of the individual stocks but rather a stock in the mutual fund.

I didn't explain that very well, hope you get better stiff from others.

Mutual funds are pools of money that are managed by an investment company. They offer investors a variety of goals, depending on the fund and its investment charter:
鈥?generate income on a regular basis, or
鈥?preserve an investor's money, or
鈥?invest in companies that are growing at a rapid pace.
Funds can impose a sales charge, or load, on investors when they buy or sell shares. Many funds these days are no load and impose no sales charge.
Talking about risk, I recommend that you talk to the party or broker where you can buy the mutual funds. You can analyze their past performance, how much they gain per year on average, the compositions of the fund (bond, shares, etc.), sectors (health, technology, etc.), the major market (USA, Europe, Asia, etc.). Above all, you need to know the background of the company. Is it a reputable company?
True, there are some risks involved. Some have low risk-low gain, modest risk-modest gain, and high risk-high gain. Obviously, if you want high gain, you must be willing to be aggressive and take some risk. If you want to take the minimum risk, you can take the low risk-low gain mutual fund. Or you can combine your portfolio.

Good luck,
