ETFs are required to distribute all net investment income (dividends and interest) and realized short and long term gains. Mutual funds can do the same but at times may only allocate capital gains to their shareholders without actually paying them out. In such situations, you have to report income you never received, take the credit for the tax paid by a mutual fund, and adjust the cost basis of your holding. In case, however, where all income and gains are passed to shareholders, no basis adjustment is needed and tax treatment is identical.
NFO is the first stage in the life of a mutual fund. A mutual fund becomes an active fund only after the New Fund Offering (NFO) is complete.

The mutual fund is a bundle of investments that are taken together for the purposes of dealing out interest related profits to investors. Mutual funds are known in the common knowledge as a "safe" type of investment, primarily because of the low maintenance required by the investor to keep the mutual fund. However, this common definition of the mutual fund has been shattered by the recent events in the market; namely, the Great Recession and the US debt crisis, both of which rocked the market so much as to shake mutual funds from their safe perch. A mutual fund must be researched the same as any other investment, only with a mutual fund, one must research the investment team.
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.
Mutual funds are only different from hedge funds in that they are purchased completely up front whereas hedge funds are paid for over time.
