In present world, mutual funds have become a main form of investment because of its diversified and liquid features. Not only in the developed world, but in the developing countries also different types of mutual funds are gaining popularity very fast in a tremendous way. But, there was a time when the concept of Mutual Funds were not present in the economy.<\/p>\n<p>There is an ambiguity about the fact that when and where the\u00a0<b>Mutual Fund Concept<\/b>\u00a0was introduced for the first time. According to some historians, the mutual funds were first introduced in\u00a0<b>Netherlands<\/b>\u00a0in 1822. But according to some other belief, the idea of Mutual Fund first came from a Dutch Merchant ling back in 1774. In 1822, that idea was further developed. In 1822, the concept of\u00a0<b>Investment Diversification<\/b>\u00a0was properly incorporated in the mutual funds. In fact, the\u00a0<b>Investment Diversification<\/b>\u00a0is the main attraction of mutual funds as the small investors are also able to allocate their little\u00a0<b>Funds<\/b>\u00a0in a diversified way to lower\u00a0<b>Risks<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>After 1822 in Netherlands, the\u00a0<b>Mutual Funds Concept<\/b>\u00a0came in Switzerland in 1849 and thereafter in Scotland in the 1880s. After being popular in Great Britain and France, Mutual fund concept traveled to U.S.A in the 1890s. In 1920s and 1930s, the Mutual Fund popularity reached a new high. There was record investment done in mutual funds. But, before 1920s,the mutual funds were not like the modern day mutual funds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/vskills.in\/certification\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/033.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30101 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/vskills.in\/certification\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/033.jpg\" alt=\"033\" width=\"228\" height=\"221\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">he modern day mutual funds came into existence in 1924, in Boston.
