Tips & Warnings

  • Keep in mind that you can earn or lose money when you invest in mutual funds. Mutual fund shares can rise or fall in value. As such, it is possible for mutual fund shares to be worth less at redemption than what they were worth at the time of purchase. This could cause you to lose money.
