A smart and convenient way to invest in mutual funds to achieve your long-term goals.

What are Mutual Funds?

Mutual funds are investment vehicles that pool together money from multiple investors to purchase a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. Managed by professional fund managers, mutual funds offer an easy and accessible way for individual investors to access a broad range of assets across stocks, bonds, and other asset classes across various geographies, industry sectors and themes and benefit from professional expertise.

By investing in a mutual fund, investors can get the benefits of diversification, which helps to spread risk and reduce the impact of any single investment’s poor performance on the overall portfolio. With Standard Chartered, you can choose from a wide selection of mutual funds to suit your unique investment needs and grow your wealth over time.
