What is a mutual fund?

A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment that pools the money of individual investors — thousands of investors in the case of large funds — to buy a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds or other investment securities. The fund’s investment selections are made by a fund manager, a management team or an investment or management committee.
