What is a Mutual Fund?

Mutual funds are the safest way to invest in the stock market and build wealth. As we know, mutual funds are handled by managers who are specialists in the field of investments. Mutual funds can be considered safe as they are supposed to be transparent as per the law, and the documentation is in the public domain with stringent regulator scrutiny. 

Investors are invited to purchase units of mutual funds and the money is thus invested to grow. The same money grows if the funds do well and if the funds are not doing well then the invested money can eventually be lost. Hence mutual funds can show movement higher or lower than the purchase price as the value of the asset increases or decreases. 

There are many kinds of mutual funds and some are…

No evidence pictured dog has really been found at different locations across the UK

A post on Facebook claims a photograph shows an unchipped dog that has been found in Watton, Norfolk. The post, which asks for help finding the owner, has been shared over 2,000 times.

There is no evidence that the dog pictured has been found in these locations. Although Full Fact was not able to find the original source of the picture, many other posts…

It claims that “after paying National Insurance for 35 years, UK pensioners receive £6,800 a year” while “illegal immigrants will receive on average £26,000 a year in unearned benefits”.

These figures aren’t right. The amount UK pensioners receive in state pension varies depending on a number of factors, but pensioners entitled to the full amount receive significantly more than £6,800 per year.

People in the UK without a legal right to be here are not entitled to claim any benefits. Asylum seekers, including those who arrive in the UK on small boats, also can’t claim welfare benefits, but do receive some…

Emergency alerts system set to cost £25 million over three years, government finally reveals

The UK’s emergency alerts system is expected to cost up to £25.3 million in its first three years, the government has confirmed, after previously declining to give any figure.

Last month, in the run-up to and following the nationwide test of the system on Sunday 23 April, we saw lots of false and misleading claims circulating on social media, including that it would track your location, would breach GDPR and was subcontracted to the company founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law.

We also saw unevidenced claims circulating on social media about the likely cost. Many claimed the test alone would cost £22 million, with this figure being shared hundreds of times on Twitter and Facebook. (The Daily Mail previously reported that the whole system would cost £22…
