<div>
	A mutual fund is a professionally-managed investment scheme, made up of a pool of money collected from many investors to invest in securities like stocks, bonds, money market instruments, and other assets.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Mutual funds are operated by professional money managers, who allocate the fund&#39;s assets and attempt to produce capital gains or income for the fund&#39;s investors.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	A mutual fund&#39;s portfolio is structured and maintained to match the investment objectives stated in its prospectus.</div>

<div>
	Mutual funds give small or individual investors access to professionally managed portfolios of equities, bonds, and other securities.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Each shareholder, therefore, participates proportionally in the gains or losses of the fund. Mutual funds invest in a vast number of securities, and performance is usually tracked as the change in the total market cap of the fund&mdash;derived by the aggregating performance of the underlying investments.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	All the mutual funds are registered with Sebi. They function within the provisions of strict regulation created to protect the interests of the investor.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The biggest advantage of investing through a mutual fund is that it gives small investors access to professionally-managed, diversified portfolios of equities, bonds and other securities, which would be quite difficult to create with a small amount of capital.</div>
