Resources on Mutual Funds
Mutual funds are a popular way to invest in securities. Because mutual funds can offer built-in diversification and professional management, they offer certain advantages over purchasing individual stocks and bonds. But, like investing in any security, investing in a mutual fund involves certain risks, including the possibility that you may lose money.
The following resources are all available free online, or through SELCO libraries. Ask your local librarian if you have further research needs.
