WHY ARE MUTUAL FUNDS A GREAT FIRST

INVESTMENT?

MUTUAL FUNDS ARE A TERRIFIC FIRST INVESTMENT!

If you haven’t bought stocks before, you should consider investing in a mutual fund. When you first buy stocks, you’re probably not going to buy a lot of different ones. And if you only buy a few stocks, the value of your stocks is likely to jump around. But, if instead, you buy shares or a mutual fund-the mutual fund will be invested in many, many stocks and hence the value of your investment will move more gradually and be safer.
