| Mutual funds are the most common type of pooled investment. Funds "slice and dice" many types of investments - stocks, bonds, money-market instruments, and other securities - to offer diversified portfolios that would be difficult for investors to create with a small amount of capital on their own. Mutual funds carry a number of costs that can lower your investment returns. |
