utual funds cap be a

good way for people to

invest in stocks, bonds

and other securities.

Why?

• Mutual funds are managed by professional money managers.

• By owning shares in a mutual fund instead of buying individual stocks or bonds directly, the investment risk is spread out.

• Because mutual funds buy and sell large amounts of securities at a time, its costs are often lower than what an individual would pay on his own.

There are sources of information that you should consult before you invest in mutual funds. The most important of these is the prospectus of any fund you are considering. The prospectus is the fund’s selling document and contains information about costs, risks, past performance, and the fund’s investment goals.

Request a prospectus from a fund, or from a financial professional. Read the prospectus before investing.

Before buying a mutual fund, an individual should make sure it is right for them.
