Read MoreHide Full Article

Growth mutual funds focus on realizing an appreciable amount of capital growth by investing in stocks of firms whose value is projected to rise over the long term. These funds are excellent choices for investors seeking long-term capital appreciation over dividend payout. However, a relatively higher tolerance to risk and the willingness to park funds for the longer term are necessary when investing in these securities. This is because they may experience relatively more fluctuation than the other fund classes.
