Here's a video about Mutual Funds as explained by Aya Laraya of Pesos and Sense:
What are the different types of Mutual Funds available?
There are four basic types of mutual funds currently available in the market categorized according to the investment objective of the fund or the investments that the fund is primarily invested in.
- Money Market Funds invest purely in short-term (one year or less) debt instruments. This fund offers the lowest return and the lowest risk.
- Bond Funds invest in long-term debt instruments of governments or corporations. It provides capital preservation.
- Balanced Funds invest both in shares of stock and debt instruments.
- Stock Funds / Equity Funds invest primarily in shares of stock. Among all the other types of Mutual Funds, Equity Funds has the highest possible growth but has the highest risk. It provides long-term capital appreciation. It is for aggressive type of investors looking high growth but with high risk.
What is the NAVPS?
NAVPS or the net asset value per share represents the price of one share from a mutual fund. All shares in a mutual fund are bought and sold using the NAVPS, which changes every business day depending on the market performance of the fund.
How do I earn from Mutual Funds?
If the NAVPS of the mutual fund you are invested in increases or appreciates, you can sell your mutual fund shares for a profit. In the same way, if the NAVPS of the mutual fund you are invested in decreases or depreciates, you may realize a loss if you redeem.
Like any other investment instrument, mutual funds are best held long-term especially for mutual funds that have investment objectives of capital growth such as equity funds.
