Global Fund

« Back to Dictionary Main | Browse other GLOBAL terms »

A mutual fund investing in stocks or bonds throughout the world, including the U.S. This differs from an international fund, which does not include the U.S. Global funds can provide more opportunities for diversification than domestic funds alone, but there can be additional risks associated with global funds, including currency fluctuations and political and economic instability.
