Fund

A collection of investments, including shares and bonds, often managed by a professional fund manager. Funds are usually (but not always) less risky than shares, as the risk is spread across different companies and assets.

By investing in a fund, you're pooling your money with others, letting you access a wide range of investments. Funds usually concentrate on one sector or investment objective, or track a particular market or index.
