A fund is a sum of money saved or collected for a special purpose, such as a project, emergency, or investment. It can also mean money managed by a group or company on behalf of others.
“Fund” comes from Latin “fundus,” meaning “bottom, base, or foundation,” through French “fond,” meaning “stock or resources.” The idea is that money provides a base or support for future actions.
When you put money in a fund, you’re quietly voting for what you think should exist in the future—like retirement, college, or a new business. Big investment funds can shape entire industries by deciding which ideas get enough fuel to grow.
