Fund of funds

A mutual Fund which invests in other mutual funds. Just as a mutual Fund invests in a number of different securities, a Fund of funds holds shares of many different mutual funds. These funds were designed to achieve even greater Diversification than traditional mutual funds. On the downside, Expense fees on Fund of funds are typically higher than those on regular funds because they include part of the Expense fees charged by the underlying funds. In addition, since a Fund of funds buys many different funds which themselves invest in many different stocks, it is possible for the Fund of funds to Own the same stock through several different funds and it can be difficult to keep track of the overall holdings.
