pros and cons in growth mutual funds.

- One of the biggest disadvantages is that these funds carry high expense ratios. You are essentially eating up your profits each year in fees. This may be a big draw for younger investors, but it is also important to remember that this type of investment is not suitable for beginners.

-The pros of growth funds outweigh these cons. For those who have an unlimited time horizon and don't plan on retiring anytime soon, growth funds are an excellent choice.

Pros and cons of risk factor;

- pros of a risk factor mutual fund is that you have more control over the investment. Unlike with other investment options, you don't have to manage the investments yourself. An experienced fund manager will take the burden off of you. The manager will invest the money into a wide range of securities. This will increase your overall returns. In addition, you won't have to worry about losing your entire investment. That is if you are too busy to do it.

- While they are available at any time, they can be costly to buy and sell
