DIVE IN TO BLUECHIPS FOR YOUR MUTUAL FUND INVESTMENTS

The term blue chip comes from the game of poker where the blue chip holds the highest value. Here it refers to the shares of the company that are thought to be significantly safer than a vast majority of stocks. They carry excessive financial strength enormous cash reserves, little or no debt and have the capability to survive any financial depression. Wealthy and successful investors tend to love these blue chips because the stability and strength of their financial statement means that the passive income is hardly ever in danger, especially if there is broad diversification in portfolio.

Blue chip funds are considered low risky since the underlying securities are well established, stable companies and with a history of paying dividends and maintaining value despite fluctuations in the surrounding market. They can also be chosen as a part of conservative investment strategy.
