Mutual Fund Basics

Benefits Of Investing In RBC Funds

When investing in a mutual fund, you are able to realize a variety of advantages including:

 

Professional Management

With mutual funds, a professional money manager is responsible for investment decisions. Our portfolio managers offer a high level of expertise, experience and skill. By employing a team approach, RBC Funds provide investors with a broad spectrum of competencies and approaches.

Access to Markets

Mutual funds make global markets accessible to every investor, opening up the opportunity to participate in almost any asset class around the world.

Diversification

Mutual funds hold many different investments, offering a level of diversification commonly only achieved through larger portfolios. Because mutual funds invest in a variety of equities, bonds and other holdings, investors can create a balanced and diversified investment portfolio with a relatively modest amount of money.

Reduced Risk

An investor who holds just one investment is vulnerable to a high level of risk. Mutual funds spread that risk among many different securities, limiting the potential of one company's performance from impacting the entire portfolio. It also reduces the emotion associated with watching individual equities rise and fall.

Lower Costs

Economies of scale make mutual funds a cost-effective investment option. You share costs such as individual transaction and management fees with other investors in that fund.

Liquidity

Mutual funds are considered liquid investments because you can usually redeem your units as the need arises and you can typically have your money available within two business days. You receive the price based on the unit value at the end of the day you sell.
