Investors can buy shares from various companies but building diversified portfolio takes considerable investment. Mutual funds are professionally managed portfolios where in one transaction you can purchase many different stocks. Exchange traded funds tracks and index and its shares trade on the market like regular security. The good side of investing in funds is that they offer more diversified portfolio and reduce the risk that way but they usually don't have the same chances for big gains like with stock which are more risky but with more potential for big return.
