stock funds

Pooled equity investments

Stock funds are investment vehicles that pool money from multiple investors to purchase shares in various companies.

Unlike buying individual stocks, a stock fund spreads risk across many holdings: She put her retirement savings in a diversified stock fund.

Stock funds may focus on specific sectors, company sizes, or geographic regions, and are typically managed by professional portfolio managers.
