Mutual Funds

Each one of us wants maximum return on our investments. However to do so, one has to track stock market on daily basis. This can be time consuming and confusing as well. You would need lot of time & expertise to decide which stock to buy and when to sell. A lot of people take chances but only some get lucky. This is where Mutual funds comes in handy. Each fund house has a team of professional manager and research analyst who choose suitable investments suiting the objectives of the scheme by continuously analysing the performance and prospects of different companies. Each fund house offers a variety of schemes to suit every investor needs. By investing money in equities through mutual funds, an investor gets the benefit of diversification. Diversification lowers risk of loss by spreading money across various industries and geographic regions. Investments held by investors for a period of 12 months or more qualify for capital gains and are taxed accordingly. These investments also get the benefit of indexation. The performance of a mutual fund is reviewed by various publications and rating agencies, making it easy for investors to compare fund to another. As a unit holder, one has access to daily NAV’s, information on fund’s holding and the fund manager strategy.
