How should you choose the best mutual fund investment to meet your needs?

Investing in mutual funds is considered as an easy and inexpensive way for investors to play in the market, but it being a simple mode of investment, mutual fund investors often make mistakes, which eat into their returns. It need not be so if you make the right choices.

A mutual fund is a common pool or fund of capital mobilised from a large number of investors, and invested on their behalf in several securities in the market. All the returns from such investments, both in terms of the dividends and capital appreciation, net of various incidental expenses accrue to the investors. A mutual fund provides many financial and non-financial benefits to the investors. Like shares, all mutual funds provide returns in the form of dividends and capital appreciation and even bonus issues. By far, the most significant benefit is that of risk reduction or risk diversification. When a person invests in the stock of any one company, he is exposed to several random risks, like the company going bankrupt or poor-performance of sectors. However, investing in a mutual fund protects investors from such random risks. Spelling out the advantages of the mutual funds, One should never put all eggs in one basket. Similarly, any investment portfolio must be well diversified if it has to give results. It is difficult for small investors to diversify in 30 or more securities. This is where the mutual fund steps in by pooling together investments from a large number of small investors, and then investing the accumulated proceeds in a well diversified basket of securities. Thus, investors get the benefit of diversification without actually doing so themselves.

In fact, now with the introduction of Gold Exchange Traded Funds (GEFT) schemes by mutual funds, it is now possible to buy gold in small quantities without worrying about
theft. The mutual fund industry has grown exponentially but investors requires study, prudence and timely action to .

Remember This While Selecting A Mutual Fund:
