What is a mutual fund?
A mutual fund is a collection of stocks, bonds and other assets that are chosen and managed by professional money managers. Investing in a mutual fund gives you the opportunity to pool your money with other investors to access assets that may be hard to invest in otherwise.
Why may it be a good fit for me?
Mutual funds offer flexibility, choice and the freedom to keep moving toward your goals no matter what life stage you’re in. That’s because they are often considered an easy, low-cost way to start investing. Mutual funds help you buy into the financial markets without having to research individual companies, decide which stocks or bonds to buy or worry about when to sell.

Knowing how comfortable you are with financial risk can help guide you to mutual funds that may fit well with your investment style. When you’re ready to buy a mutual fund, you’ll need to open an account. We offer different types of accounts to support all life situations. To choose the account that’s right for you, consider your goals. You can also create multiple accounts if you need.
