Diversified Fund
A type of investment fund that contains a wide array of securities and is adequately diversified. A mutual fund classified as a “diversified fund” will actively maintain a high level of diversification in its holdings, thus reducing the amount of risk in the fund, since events that affect one sector won’t have the same effect on other sectors. For example, the fund may restrict its purchases so it is not dominated by companies from one industry or representing one market capitalization size.
Balanced fund
