MUTUAL FUNDS
Mutual Funds (MF) is a mechanism to pool money from investors who wish to save and invest in securities through professional management to achieve one’s financial needs. When you invest in mutual funds, you purchase units that represent your ownership in the fund.
The returns you earn are based on the performance of the underlying investments and are distributed among all unit holders in proportion to the number of units they hold. This makes mutual funds a suitable option for those looking to start investing in mutual funds with small amounts, as it offers a diversified, professionally managed portfolio at an affordable cost.
Asset Management Companies (AMCs) provide a range of funds tailored to different financial needs, risk levels, and investment horizons. Whether you are looking for growth, income, or a balance of both, there is a mutual fund that fits your preferences, allowing you to start your journey toward financial growth in a simple and accessible way.
MODE OF INVESTMENTS
An investor can start investment in Mutual Funds either by opting for Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) or by investing a lump sum amount.
Why Mutual Fund?
- Earning - Inflation = Real Return
If you invest in a scheme with an 8% return and inflation is 6%, your real return is just 2% (8% - 6%). Is it enough to achieve our various goals in life? - Invest in ups & downs (Value averaging)
Rupee Cost Averaging is a strategy where you invest a fixed amount regularly, allowing you to buy more when prices are low and less when prices are high, reducing timing risks in the market. - Power of compounding
The ability of money to grow exponentially over time, as interest earned on your initial investment is reinvested to earn more interest. This thus creates a snowball effect.
