Mutual Funds
A mutual fund is a pool of money collected from many different investors that
is professionally managed for the mutual benefit of all the investors. Mutual
funds allow smaller investors to have access to a well
diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other securities. Typically each
shareholder participates in the gain or loss of the fund. Investors can open
one mutual fund for as little as $50 a month and the mutual fund shares can be
redeemed as needed.
Your Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance representative has access to several mutual
fund families that may offer a solution for the long term investor who is
looking for growth. IRAs, college savings accounts, as well as small company
pension plans can be ways to invest money in mutual funds and benefit from the
tax deferred growth.
Mutual funds are subject to market risk and possible loss of principal. This and
other important information is contained in the prospectus, which can be
obtained from a registered representative and should be read carefully before
you invest or pay money. Investors should consider the investment objectives,
risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.
