Mutual Funds
Introduction
A trust pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. The
money thus collected is then invested in capital market instrument such as shares,
debentures and other securities. The income earned from this investment and capital
appreciation realized are shared by its unit holders in proportion to the number of units
owned by them. Thus a mutual fund is the most suitable investment for the common man
as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of
securities at a relatively low cost.
