Mutual Funds
What is a mutual fund?
A mutual fund is a large pool of money belonging to many people that is invested by experts in stocks, bonds or other securities with the goal of increasing the value of the overall pool. Each fund has a written investment goal that helps you decide whether it should have a place in your overall financial plan. While some investment funds can be used for shorter-term objectives, mutual funds are typically more appropriate for longer-term investing. That’s because their value fluctuates with the values of the securities they hold and returns are not guaranteed. Short-term fluctuations can be quite dramatic, but historically, long-term returns have been higher than from guaranteed interest products. Mutual funds can be held in registered plans like RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and some pension plans. They can also be held in non-registered savings plans.
