Video: Mutual Funds: Understanding the Risks

(Grades 9-12, 1997, recommended that teachers combine with Savers and Borrowers Teachers Guide)

This short video emphasizes that mutual funds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Unlike certificates of deposits, mutual funds and annuities are not guaranteed by the banks that sell them. Mutual Funds: Understanding the Risks provides valuable information for students and consumer groups.
