A mutual fund is an investment vehicle with a well defined, easy to understand investment strategy and goals. Investing in a mutual fund is only advantageous if the investment strategy and goals of the fund (or combination of funds) match that of an investor.
For example, if investment is made into a fund whose goal is growth over a long term, an investor may lose a significant fraction of their investment when taking the money out too soon.
A second, very important consideration is taxes. It turns out that buying mutual funds is a good idea when one is to use tax advantages of retirement plans, such as IRA, Roth IRA or 401k, 403b. The reason is that a so-called turnover ratio (or distributed gains) for a mutual fund can be quite high. If you have to pay taxes on these gains, you might end up paying tax on the income you did not receive. It is therefore recommended to use low turnover mutual funds or an entirely different investment vehicle - exchange traded funds (ETF) if investment is made in an ordinary (vs. tax privileged) account.
