Note
A regular -s plural, but the singular behind it covers three nouns. Two are shortenings of phrases built on the adjective, mutual fund and mutual organization. The third, from online life, is either of two people who follow each other's social media accounts. A portfolio of mutuals and a feed full of mutuals share only the spelling, so context decides. The adjective itself, as in mutual friends, never takes the -s.
