pooled funds
Combined financial resources
Pooled funds are money from multiple investors combined into a single investment vehicle, managed collectively.
Mutual funds, pension funds, and hedge funds operate this way—individual contributions merge into a larger pool that can access investments or diversification unavailable to small investors alone.
The nonprofit's pooled funds allowed them to negotiate better rates.
