Savings accounts are generally considered safer than checking accounts because they are designed to hold money for longer periods and offer higher interest rates, but both are insured by the FDIC up to 250,000 per depositor, per insured bank.
Mutual funds accounts are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The FDIC only insures bank accounts (i.e., checking accounts and savings accounts, not mutual funds accounts). Anyone who invests in mutual funds is taking a certain amount of risk. Those funds can (and usually do) increase in value, but they can also decrease in value. If they decrease in value, that money is not going to be repaid by insurance. It is simply lost.
