They are as risky as Stock Market investments. The only good thing here is the fact that, the fund is managed by experienced professionals, therefore the chances of making a profit are better compared to us investing in stocks directly.

The real answer is, it depends on whether you or the manager of the fund in question is better at picking stocks, and how diversified your portfolio is.
