What is the difference between a mutual fund and a IRA?
A mutual fund is an investment, something you buy in expectation of it going up in value. An IRA , individual retirement account, is an account which can hold different types of investments (like mutual funds). It is not any particular investment. Think of it this way: an IRA is a bucket and a mutual fund is what you choose to put into the bucket. This issue can be confused because of the way banks market IRAs. They often marry the account with a particular investment, the CD. So, banks will advertise an IRA "paying 5% for 5 years" What they have done is taken away all choice as to what you can put into the IRA and have told you they will sell you an IRA with a 5 year, 5% CD inside of it.
