Benefits of mutual funds

  • Professional management: Your money is managed by the fund company’s professional portfolio managers that have extensive research capabilities and experience in selecting investments. They make the day-to-day decisions on what to invest in, based on the goal and objective of the mutual fund, which removes the need for you to make ongoing investment-related decisions.
  • Diversification: Markets can be unpredictable, and purchasing investments across products (e.g., stocks, bonds), sectors (e.g., technology, financial services) and geographies (e.g., Canada, U.S., the world) is a key component of managing risk; it can help to smooth out investment returns over the long-term. When you invest in a mutual fund, your money is pooled with other like-minded investors, so you’re able to own a much wider variety of investments than if you were to buy them individually on your own.
  • Convenience and flexibility: Mutual funds offer low minimum-investment amounts and the ability to make regular, pre-authorized contributions. As your financial circumstances and needs change over time, so too can the selection of mutual funds you choose to invest in.
