Abstract

A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings from a number of investors who share a common financial goal. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. Since the stated investment objectives of a mutual fund scheme generally form the basis for an investor's decision to contribute money to the pool, a mutual fund can not move away from its stated objectives at any point of time.

Every Mutual Fund is managed by a fund manager, who uses his investment management skills and necessary research works to fulfill his role and therefore ensures much better returns than what an average investor can manage on his own. The capital appreciation and other incomes earned from these investments are passed on to the unit holders (investors are often known as unit holders) in proportion of the number of units they own.

Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.
