<p dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.utimf.com/">Mutual Fund</a> (MF) is a trust comprising like-minded investors who pool in their money into a corpus that is invested by the MF&rsquo;s Asset Management Company (AMC) in different types of investments such as stocks, government and corporate bonds, and more. All MFs have a specified investment objective. Investors are allocated units under their respective folios wherein the unit value depends on the MF&rsquo;s Net Asset Value. The MF grows its investment in two ways: income earned and any capital appreciation realized through sale. This is shared by individual unitholders in proportion to the number of units they own.</p>
