"This is financial adviser, Patrick Munro, discussing, what is a growth mutual fund? A growth mutual fund is designed to do just that, grow your money. What companies do, and fund managers look for, are companies that have a better potential for growth, in the economy, at a particular given time. There's many factors that come into play, to find out which one of these stocks would grow, and which would not. Currently, funds that are invested, say in real estate, or construction related activities, have very little potential for growth, because there's been a downturn, in that sector of the economy. On the other hand, things to do with Biotech, and pharmaceuticals, and things of that nature, have a very strong potential for growth, because the population is growing older, so the fund family will always look for the best growth potential. This is Patrick Munro, financial adviser, discussing growth mutual funds."
