EAAML FAQs
A Mutual Fund also known as a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) is formed by pooling funds of several individual and corporate investors, which gives the Fund greater “bargaining power”, to obtain better returns on investment. A Mutual Fund aims to maximize returns by investing its assets in selected authorized securities in line with its investment objectives.
A Fund Manager is responsible for setting up and investing the mutual fund’s assets by ensuring best performance within the permissible guidelines provided in the Fund’s Prospectus and Trust Deed.
Mutual Funds are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Past performances of mutual funds are helpful in indicating the future performance but are not guarantees of a Fund’s future performance.
