What are they?
Mutual funds are professionally managed portfolios of stocks, bonds or other securities that pool the money of a group of investors who have common financial goals. The value of mutual fund shares will fluctuate, so that, when redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Who needs them?
Mutual funds can be an appropriate investment option for investors at various income levels, and may reduce the worry of day-to-day issues such as what individual securities to buy and sell, or when to buy and sell them. They offer a level of diversity that can be hard to match as an individual investor. The increased diversification may reduce volatility.
What is covered?
The types of securities each mutual fund can buy are spelled out in a detailed investment document called a prospectus. A single fund can own dozens or even hundreds of different securities. The prospectus also describes the fund objectives and discloses the fees and charges of the fund. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.
Shares of mutual funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.
Before investing in any mutual fund, investors should carefully consider a fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds. You may download and view a prospectus now, or to obtain one, ask your financial advisor or call OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. at 1.800.525.7048. Read prospectuses carefully before investing.
