How Funds Can Earn Money for You One can earn money from the investment in mutual funds by way of various ways including Dividend Payments as a fund may interest on the securities in its portfolio the income earned in the form of dividends. The shareholders generally get most of that income. Capital Gains as when the fund sells a security that has increased in price, the capital gain (minus any capital losses) is distributed to investors at the end of the year. Increased NAV of the shares of the fund increases if the market value of a fund's portfolio increases after deduction of expenses and liabilities. The higher NAV reflects the higher value of investment.
