Definitions for "Mutual Fund"

Shares are issued and redeemed on demand, based on the fund's net asset value, which is determined at the end of each trading session.
Mutual funds pool money from multiple investors (shareholders) to buy stocks, bonds, and other securities for the benefit of their shareholders.
