Balance mutual funds are geared towards a more conservative investor, as they combine money markets, stocks and bonds when building a portfolio. While a balanced fund will not provide the unlimited upside of a pure stock portfolio, it will also help to put a floor under the potential losses. There can still be appreciation in the stock portion, and an investor can select balanced funds that have more stocks and less bonds, or visa versa depending on their risk profile.
