Are there different types of funds?
Absolutely! Funds are basically pots of money managed by professionals, investing in things like shares or bonds. Some, like the index-tracking funds mentioned in the SpaceX story, simply mirror an index. Others are actively managed, aiming to beat the market, or focus on specific areas like tech or ethical investments.
