Portfolios Utilizing Mutual Funds

Portfolios utilizing mutual funds* are a great investment solution for an investor as they combine the benefits of diversification, professional management, and affordability.

When you buy a mutual fund, you are pooling your money with other investors to purchase a variety of investments.  A professional portfolio manager makes the decisions about the mix of investments, which products to buy, and when to sell them.

Mutual Funds are a popular investment choice as they offer a wide variety of investment strategies and styles, often creating a diversified investment portfolio.

Like all investments, mutual funds have risk.  The value of most mutual funds will change as the value of their investments goes up and down. Depending on the fund, the value could change significantly and frequently.

KCCU members have access to a comprehensive line-up of mutual fund product offerings through our dealer, Aviso Wealth, including some of the most popular and best managed mutual funds in Canada.  We welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your investment goals and help you build a strong portfolio which matches your financial needs, investment style, and goals.
