What Is a Mutual Fund
A mutual fund is an investment option where money from many investors is pooled together and managed by a professional fund manager. This pooled money is invested in assets like stocks, bonds, gold, or a mix of these.
When you invest in a mutual fund, you buy units of the fund. The value of these units is called NAV (Net Asset Value).
