IN THIS CHAPTER

Seeing how mutual funds and exchange-traded funds work

Discovering reasons to choose funds

Considering the drawbacks

I’m not sure where the mutual in mutual funds comes from; perhaps it’s so named because the best funds allow many people of differing economic means to mutually invest their money for:

 Easy diversification

 Access to professional money managers

 Specific investment objectives in particular types of securities

No matter where the word came from, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, like any other investment, have their strengths and weaknesses that you need to know about before you invest your money. This chapter discusses the advantages and disadvantages of funds.
