An investment fund is a pooled investment vehicle. The goals of different investment funds can vary but often aim to invest in a broad cross-section of securities, diversify the investment risk, and provide a way for individuals to achieve their financial goals.
The types of investment funds that Secure Financial Future advocates for include mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), money market funds, closed-end funds, and more. These funds are heavily regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are managed by SEC-registered advisers, who have a legal obligation to act in your best interest. The disclosures fund companies provide, in accordance with federal law, ensure transparency for investors when it comes to fees and performance.
