Mutual Funds

Ever wanted a box of investment goodies? 📦

Everyone loves swag bags and goodies 🎁

What if you could get a swag bag of investments?🤔

Mutual Funds use money from investors to invest in stocks, bonds, or other assets 💰

They're super ETFs! 🦸

Instead of buying stocks and bonds and commodities and real estate yourself, you can invest in a mutual fund that holds a mix of different assets 🍪

This diversification spreads out your risk, so you're not relying on just one asset class, for example stocks, to do well 🍭

When you invest in a mutual fund, you're buying a share of the assets that the fund owns 📈

So, you get a small piece of everything the mutual fund owns 🧩

The value of your mutual fund changes based on the value of the assets that the fund owns 📉

Mutual funds are managed by professionals who decide what assets to buy and sell 🤓

Just like ETFs, mutual funds can be actively or passively managed 🏋️‍♂️

Actively managed = fund managers decide to buy and sell assets based on their own research and analysis 🧐

Passively managed = investments follow a specific market index, like the S&P 500 📊

Before investing in a mutual fund, it's important to research the fund and understand its fees, performance, and risks 🤔

Now you have another asset, or super asset, in your investor mind 🚀
