Mutual Funds are run by professional fund managers, who take care of a corpus of funds gathered together from the money of several individual investors. Now day’s mutual funds come in a wide variety of forms, some invest only in blue chip companies, some in debt funds, some in sectored funds. Many type start a bigger confusion, so don’t be confused, to invest in any mutual fund you need to make research at least and can have peace of mind then.
