• INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
  
  An investment objective is a financial goal and helps determine the type of investments you make. For example, if you want to provide a source of regular income, you might select a portfolio of high-rated bonds and dividend-paying stocks. Each mutual fund describes its investment objective in its prospectus, along with the strategy the manager follows to meet that objective. Mutual fund investors often look for funds whose stated objectives are compatible with their own.
