What is mutual funds and how to invest?

Mutual funds are a type of investment scheme in which investors' money is collected and then invested in different types of stocks, bonds, or other securities. Mutual funds are operated by professional fund managers and they decide in which companies the investors' money is to be invested so that investors can get maximum benefit. The return received in mutual funds depends on the performance of the fund in which your money is invested. This return can change with the fluctuations of the market.
