Mutual funds are popular investments because they offer a cost-effective and efficient way to diversify your investments (or own shares in a variety of investments — stocks, bonds, etc.) without 
having to invest a lot of money at one time.

What you need to know before investing in mutual funds
When you purchase shares of a mutual fund, you're pooling your money with other investors and letting the mutual fund (which is simply a professional money management company) invest and manage the money to help meet the fund's specified investment goal (e.g., growth, income or a combination of the two). This lets you quickly build a diversified portfolio with a low minimum investment.
Note: There is no guarantee that the mutual fund will meet its objectives.

Because they are professionally managed and offer diversification with generally a small initial investment ($250 for most funds), mutual funds are suitable for most investors. In fact, because of their simplistic nature, many investors choose to invest in mutual funds rather than select a wide variety of individual investments.
