1. What Are Mutual Funds and ETFs?
Mutual Fund
• A mutual fund pools money from investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets such as stocks, bonds, or other securities.
• Managed by professional fund managers who actively (or passively) decide which assets to buy or sell based on the fund’s objective.
• Shares are bought and sold at the fund’s net asset value (NAV), calculated once a day after the market closes.
ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund)
• ETFs also pool money to invest in a portfolio of securities but trade on stock exchanges like individual stocks.
• Typically passively managed, aiming to replicate the performance of a specific index (e.g., S&P 500), although actively managed ETFs also exist.
• Prices fluctuate throughout the trading day, as they are bought and sold on exchanges
