Why Fifth Third

diversify your portfolio
Looking for a way to diversify your portfolio?
A mutual fund can help.
How Mutual Funds Work
When you buy shares in a mutual fund, your money is combined with money from other shareholders to buy shares in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments, and other similar assets. The pooled assets are invested and managed by professional money managers. Each shareholder earns a share of interest or dividends earned by the investments in the fund.
Risk vs. Reward
Mutual funds are not risk-free. When deciding what type of fund to choose, you need to consider the risk versus return level, research the fund manager and company, and carefully read the prospectus for information on fees and potential risks.
Fifth Third Securities offers over 10,000 mutual funds, for all types of investors. Get in touch with a Fifth Third Securities Investment Professional to determine if mutual funds are right for you.
