Mutual Funds are pools of money contributed by other investors with similar investment objectives.

Investors in a Mutual Fund share the income and expenses, gains and losses that the fund makes in its investments proportionally to the number of units owned. The value of the investment is only realized when the units held by the investor are redeemed.

Mutual funds and other securities are offered through Aviso Wealth, a division of Aviso Financial Inc.
