INTRODUCTION (MUTUAL FUNDS)
Mutual Fund is a trust that pools together the resources of investors to make a foray into investments in the capital market thereby making the investor to be a part owner of the assets of the mutual fund. The fund is managed by a professional money manager who invests the money collected from different investors in various stocks, bonds or other securities according to specific investment objectives as established by the fund. If the value of the mutual fund investments goes up, the return on them increases and vice versa. The net income earned on the funds, along with capital appreciation of the investment, is shared amongst the unit holders in proportion to the units owned by them. Mutual Fund is therefore an indirect vehicle for the investor investing in capital markets. In return for administering the fund and managing its investment portfolio, the fund manager charges fees based on the value of the fund’s assets.
