Frequently asked questions
When you're researching mutual funds, it can be hard to know which details are important and what they mean. Some basic things to consider are the fund's expense ratio and your target asset allocation—the combination of different investment types and cash you should hold in your portfolio.
Start with your savings goals to get an idea of how aggressive you want your investments to be based on your risk tolerance and how long you'd like your money to be invested. Then determine the best asset allocation for your goals, and select a mutual fund to help build your diversified portfolio. Once you identify your investment time horizon and your portfolio's allocation, you might also want to consider whether you want an index fund or an actively managed fund.
Index funds, also known as passively managed funds, are built to follow a market benchmark like the S&P 500 Index or Dow Jones Industrial Average. Active funds are managed by fund managers who handpick the fund's investments in an attempt to beat the market.
You'll often see the phrase "mutual funds trade at NAV" or the word "NAV" when you research mutual funds. NAV stands for net asset value—it's the price per share that you buy the mutual fund for. The NAV is calculated at the end of the trading day.
