Family of Funds
A group of mutual funds in which each fund has a different objective, yet all are managed by the same investment company. Usually shareholders of one fund can switch their money into one of the family’s other funds, sometimes without incurring a charge. This makes it easier for investors to move their assets in response to changes in the market or in their needs. There may be tax consequences when money is transferred from one fund to another.
