Is there a ticker symbol for mutual funds?

Answer 1

They have 5 letters, and end with "X". Usually, the first letter is the same as the first letter of the fund family (ie. Fidelity Cash Reserve fund--FDRXX, Vanguard Prime Money Market fund--VMMXX.)

Answer 2

Yes they all have 5 letter tickers and end with X. For example, the institutional shares of PIMCO Total Return are PTTRX. In the case of stable value funds (which are not traded like open-ended mutual funds), the ticker may end in Z. ETFs, on the other hand, tend to have either 3 or 4 letters and are traded like stocks.

Answer 3

A ticker symbol is usually a group of letters that represent a company. An example would be MAN for Manpower.
