What Is a Mutual Fund?

Mutual funds can help bring balance to your portfolio by spreading your investment across a broad range of companies, asset classes, and market sectors. Instead of relying on a single investment, mutual funds pool many securities together, which may help manage risk through diversification. MissionSquare Wealth Management offers the ability to purchase a variety of mutual funds, including Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and no‑load funds, giving you flexibility to align your investments with your goals and preferences.
