7. Commingled accounts
A mutual fund in which money from several
customers is pooled together to reduce risk and
cost. Any fund investing a large amount of money is
subject to a lower percentage of brokerage fees, and
large accounts usually have smaller administrative
costs than individual accounts. They also benefit
from economies of scale, mitigating risk.
However, capital gains in a commingled fund are
distributed equally among investors, usually
resulting in a smaller return.
