3 Meeder Mutual Funds to Buy for Robust Returns

Meeder Investment Management, based in Dublin, Oh has been operating since 1974 and manages over $150 billion in assets. Meeder provides a variety of investment options, such as mutual funds, investment portfolios, managed accounts, retirement plan services, and cash management solutions. The company collaborates closely with clients and financial advisors to develop investment strategies. By prioritizing values like integrity, results-driven focus, relationship building, continuous improvement, and discipline in their operations, Meeder's dedication to these principles guarantees a customer-centric approach and strong business practices that make it a reliable choice for investment.

Investing in Meeder mutual funds seems to be judicious as of now. Also, mutual funds, in general, diversify portfolios without several commission charges that are mainly associated with stock purchases and trim transaction costs (read more: Mutual Funds: Advantages, Disadvantages, and How They Make Investors Money).

We have, thus, chosen three Meeder mutual funds that investors should buy now for the long term. These funds possess a Zacks Mutual Fund Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), have positive three-year and five-year annualized returns, minimum initial investments within $5000, and expense ratios considerably lower than the category average. So, these funds have provided a comparatively strong performance along with lower fees.

SRUAX advisors also invest in common and preferred stocks, along with underlying funds such as domestic and foreign mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and unit investment trusts.
