A mutuual fund is a particular mixture of stocks and/or bonds that have a specific goal and/or invest in a partictular sector of the market.

Preservation of principle is a goal
A retirement date is a goal (fund changes mixture as you approach retirement)
Large Capital growth is a goal

Technology is a sector

A bond fund is composed of many bonds and many different maturity dates. The "fund" shares the profits or losses.
