Stocks, Stock Options, Bonds, and Mutual Funds Vested assets in the form of stocks, government bonds, and mutual funds are acceptable sources of funds for the down payment, closing costs, and reserves provided their value can be verified.

Can I sell mutual funds after hours?
The shares of mutual funds are very liquid, easily traded, and can be bought or sold on any day the market is open. An order will be executed at the next available net asset value (NAV), which is determined after the market close each trading day.
Should you sell a mutual fund and take the profits?
Another reason to sell a mutual fund and take the profits is that your investment goals have changed. For example, you have a stock fund that has performed well and now you want to draw an income from that money. One option would be to sell some or all of the stock fund and invest in a bond fund that pays monthly dividends.
Do I have to pay taxes on mutual funds?
Most of the income produced from the fund might be tax-exempt, but the fund can produce some taxable income (perhaps if it sells bonds at a taxable gain) and the shares themselves remain taxable assets at the time of sale. Many of these issues are complicated, but you should be familiar with them if you decide to invest in mutual funds.
What does a mutual fund manager do?
A mutual fund has a fund manager who actively buys and sells securities for the fund. The fund manager’s job is to decide when to take profits and what stocks or bonds to buy to replace the sold securities. Fund managers buy and sell to meet the investment objectives of the fund.
Should you reinvest distributions from a mutual fund?
Most investors choose to reinvest those distributions to keep the money working in the fund. But you can elect to have the distributions paid out to you. With this option, you will receive profits from the fund each year — or at least in the good years — and you can use these for other investments.
