3. Mutual funds have become attractive to many investors who
want to be in the market but do not want the risk that comes
with solely trading in the stock market. Listed below are some of
the most common types of mutual funds.

4. Money Market Funds
Money market funds primarily invest in short-term fixed income
securities such as government bonds, treasury bills, bankers’
acceptances, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit (CDs).
They are traditionally safer investment, however also have lower
potential returns than other types of funds. Canadian money
market funds try to keep their net asset value (NAV) stable at
$10 per security.

5. Equity Funds
Equity funds invest in stocks. The goal for this type of fund is to
have its assets grow faster than money market or fixed-income
funds, so equity funds carry a higher risk of losing money. There
are different types of equity funds. For example, an equity fund
may specialize in growth stocks (which typically do not pay
dividends) or income funds (which generally do pay moderate to
significant dividends).

6. Balanced funds
Balanced funds invest in a blend of equities and fixed income
securities because their goal is to balance earning higher returns
against the risk of losing shareholder money so this type of fund
splits its assets among different types of investments. Balanced
funds carry more risk than fixed income funds, but less risk than
equity funds.
