- Mutual fund investing helps
- you reduce risk. By their nature,
- even the most concentrated mutual
- funds have between 20 and 30
- issues or holdings in a single
- fund; many funds have 100 or more.
- This diversification allows the
- mutual fund to be up in some
- investment sectors while others
- may be on the down side. In order
- to gain the same diversification
- in individual stocks or bonds,
- you'd have to purchase greater
- numbers of these issues .... at
- a larger initial investment.
