Learn some mutual fund basics before you invest. Mutual funds contain stocks or bonds from many different companies. When you buy into a mutual fund, you are buying a part of each stock the fund owns. The many mutual fund benefits make them a popular product. Because some mutual funds require very little to begin – some as low as $500 to start – they make investing accessible to those who don’t have a lot to stash away. Also, because so many companies are represented in each mutual fund, you are less likely to be affected dramatically if one of the companies doesn’t do well. The others can often even things out.
