What Stocks Are In A Mutual Fund? 
That is a great question ! In fact , it 's really the multimillion dollar question ! That is the hard part about choosing the right mutual fund , knowing what they are invested in , and how the investments are performing . A mutual fund that was heavily invested in technology stocks this year would have taken a beating -LRB- some lost very large amounts -RRB- , while mutual funds invested in a mix of bonds and energy stocks would have had a good return . The best thing to do is really look into the fund , its investments and its returns , before you invest in it . Be certain to have your broker clearly explain all fees to you ! Many funds charge fees that can significantly reduce your earnings , and leave you with little more than you started with . Be careful , ok ? Thanks for asking !
