πŸ’° What Is a Mutual Fund?

A mutual fund is an investment where many people pool their money together, and a professional manager invests that money in stocks, bonds, or other assets.

Instead of buying one stock yourself, you invest in a fund that owns many investments.


🏦 How It Works

  1. Many investors put money into a fund.

  2. A professional fund manager invests that money.

  3. Profits (or losses) are shared among investors.

Example:
If you invest in a mutual fund that tracks the S&P 500, your money is spread across 500 large U.S. companies.
