Whenever a mutual fund company passes earnings and other payouts to shareholders, they are known as a distribution. The tax treatment of these distributions varies depending on the type of distribution. If you hold shares in a taxable account, you are required to pay taxes on mutual fund distributions, whether the distributions are paid out in cash or reinvested in additional shares. Learn more about how certain mutual fund distributions are taxed by reading our recent article How are Mutual Funds Taxed?
While there are similarities, there are tax advantages exchange traded funds (EFTs) hold over mutual funds. Both require shareholders to pay any tax due on income, dividends and short-term capital gains. However, shareholders of EFTs are much less likely to be subject to long-term capital gains distributions. Learn more about the tax advantages of EFTs by reading our recent article Is an EFT Better than a Mutual Fund?
A fixed annuity is a contract offered by an insurance company that is much like a bank CD. You deposit a certain amount of money and the insurer agrees to pay a certain interest rate over a specified period of time. A variable annuity differs from a fixed annuity in that inside a variable annuity are investments similar to mutual funds. These investments are called subaccounts, and the value varies based on the performance of the investments. For more information, read our recent article: Difference Between Fixed and Variable Annuities.
A bond is a type of investment that serves as a loan from the investor to the government or company, with interest paid annually until the bond matures. The most common classifications of bonds are government bonds, municipal bonds, and corporate bonds. Learn more about bonds in our Bonds 101 article.
A mutual fund is an investment vehicle made up of a pool of money collected from many investors for the purpose of investing in securities such as stocks, bonds, money market instruments and other areas for increased diversification and decreased risk. Learn more about mutual funds by reading our article Mutual Funds 101.
