Mutual Funds Performance November 2008

19 November 2008

A mutual fund pools money from individual investors in order to buy stocks or other types of investments like cash, bonds, and real estate. The mutual fund company hires money managers to invest the money collected from investors. In buying a share of a mutual fund, you will share the profits and losses of the fund’s investment portfolio proportionately with other investors in the same pool.

By purchasing shares in a mutual fund rather than buying individual stocks, you not only let the fund managers invest your money, but also spread out your investment risk (also known as diversification) since you own shares of hundreds of stocks instead of a single stock.

A mutual fund share is calculated based on the fund’s net asset values (NAV). Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day by adding up the total value of the fund’s investments in stocks and the like and dividing it by the number of fund shares outstanding.

Curious how your own portfolio fared against other funds?
