What are actively managed mutual funds
Mutual funds give you instant access to a ready-made, diversified portfolio.
When you invest in a mutual fund, a professional manager pools your money with other investors' to invest it into a basket of assets like company shares, bonds, or a mix of both. Instead of picking individual investments yourself, you buy units in the overall fund.

With hundreds funds to choose from, there’s something for every investor.
