Mutual Fund
In short
This is an investment vehicle that pools money from many investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities.
What it means in a deal
Funds held in a mutual fund can be considered part of your personal liquidity and used for your equity injection, provided they are seasoned and can be liquidated. Be prepared to show brokerage statements proving ownership and seasoning.
