Sharon Hime Sep 17 2:14am Hi everyone, This week's assignments and readings were quite enlightening, even if finding some of the resources was a bit challenging. I've learned that Mutual Funds are essentially investment vehicles that pool together money from various investors to create a diversified portfolio of assets like stocks, bonds, or other securities. This pooling allows investors to access a broader range of investments than they might be able to manage individually. I found it interesting to learn about different types of mutual funds, such as equity funds, bond funds, money market funds, and especially index funds, which I wasn't very familiar with before. Index funds, for instance, aim to mirror the performance of a specific index, like the S&P 500. They offer advantages such as lower costs and taxes compared to other fund types, and they are relatively low maintenance. However, a notable drawback is that investors can't pick and choose individual investments within an index fund.
