Mutual Fund

A mutual fund is a type of investment vehicle that pools money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets—like stocks, bonds, or other securities. It’s managed by professional fund managers who make decisions about where to invest the money with the goal of generating returns for the investors.

At P M Associates, we believe smart investing should be simple and accessible. That’s where mutual funds come in. Imagine you and a group of people each put some money into a pot. Then, a finance expert (the fund manager) uses that big pot of money to buy a mix of investments. You each own a piece of the total investment based on how much you contributed.
