conversation: User (Notable_source): "I'm moving money over from a mutual fund account with fidelity to an index account with fidelity that has lower cost ratio fees\n\nHowever the index account has slightly higher price per share. what does this mean? am i going to lose money switching over?"
  Self: "You will not be losing anything. This is called allocation.\nAt the end of the day you will still have the same amount of money in your account.\nLets image a mutual fund called MF at a price of 10$ per share.\nLets image an index fund called IF at a price of 20$ per share.\nIf you have 100$ in your portfolio:\nBefore you were allocated in the MF you had 100/10 = 10shares at 10$ each.\nNow you will have 100/20 = 5 shares at 20$ each. \nAlthough the prices vary between the two, your total invested remains the same."
