Morphology
The phrase is transparently compositional: 'mutual' (shared), 'fund' (a pooled investment), and 'company' (an organization) combine to indicate an organization that manages a mutual fund. This follows normal noun-modifier patterns and is cross-linguistically predictable, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Mutual fund company comes from the idea of many people putting money into one shared pot. The word mutual means 'shared' and fund is that pot of money, and the company looks after the pot and sells 'shares' so people can 'invest' together, which is why it means a company that manages money for many investors.
