In the first age of mutual funds when investment management companies started to offer mutual funds, choices were few. Even through people invested their money in mutwal funds as these funds offered them diversified investment option for the first time. By investing in these funds they were able to diversify their investment in common stocks, preferred stocks, bonds and other financial securities.

What investor doesn’t want growth right? Even income investors want growth. A growth mutual fund simply wants his assets to appreciate over time» Growth mutual funds are generally invested ptimatily in the stock market and ineludestock market sectors from small to large cap. Income Mutual Funds — The second more common mutual fund objective is investing for income. Many investors ~ typically those who are older and looking for cash flow to supplement their income ~ want an income distribution from their investment. Income mutual funds typically will distribute cash payments based on how many shares you own every month and the income generally vaties over time, Most income mutual funds will invest in all types of bonds as well as,some high quality dividend paying stocks and hybrids like preferred stocks. Socially Responsible Mutual. Funds — Some investors prefer to invest with social responsibility as their focus, There are various types of socially responsible mutual funds. A socially responsible mutual fund will either invest FOR an objective (for example green. energy) or AGAINST an objective (avoiding alcohol, tobacco and firearms). Sector Mutual Funds ~ Some mutual funds will invest only in a specific sector, such as biotechnology ot healthcare. This provides them exposure to advances in smaller sections of the economy, such as when money floods into technology seciors due to the advent of a fuster computer chip or more stable programming pl ‘There are many types of mutual funds, and classifying them by objective is just one method.
