Mutual Funds
Mutual funds are investment vehicles that pool money from multiple investors to buy a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities managed by a professional investment manager. When an individual invests in a mutual fund, they’re purchasing shares of the fund, and the value of those shares is based on the fund’s net asset value (NAV), which is calculated at the end of each trading day. The portion of holding of the fund is provided as ‘Units’ to each investor in proportion to the amount invested by them. The income generated from the scheme is distributed among all the investors in proportion to their investment, by calculating Net Asset Value or NAV.
