Would you like help choosing the right type of mutual fund for your financial goals?

MUTUAL FUNDS

A mutual fund is a type of investment vehicle that pools money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. It is managed by professional fund managers who make investment decisions on behalf of the investors. Each investor owns units of the mutual fund, representing a portion of the holdings.
