Growth and income mutual funds invest in securities that provide, as their name suggests, a combination of growth and income.
This type of fund generally funnels assets into common stocks of well-established companies that pay regular dividends and increase in value at a regular, if modest, rate. The balance of the fund's portfolio is in high-rated bonds and preferred stock.
