Mutual funds are comprised of stocks, bonds, short-term money market investments and other securities. Before you invest in a mutual fund, take a few minutes to browse GOBankingRates’ articles and resources on investing.

Here you can learn the basics about mutual funds, how they operate as an investment and what type of mutual fund best suits your needs.
