I want to enter mutual funds. Guide me please.?

Answer 1

Mutual Fund Houses mobilise funds from investors like us and invest them in share market (Equity Scheme) or bonds (Debts schemes). The returns in equity scheme are higher as compared to debts scheme, but if ur a short term or medium term investor there is chances of negative returns in equity schemes In the long term say 5 yrs u can expect a return of 18% and above. Debts scheme is more like our bank deposit and gives around 6-8 % , here ur original investment is safe. If ur monthly savings is say Rs. 10000 u can invest 2500-3500 in mutual fund equity scheme and the balance in deposits and gold.
To choose a scheme approach a Mutual fund adviser, spread ur investment in two or three schemes. Ask ur adviser about Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) it more like our Bank Recurring Deposit - Best Wishes.

First, let me say, "I don't have a dog in this fight". The source I am giving you is just someone I am aware of and who makes sense to me.

There is a show on radio, I think it is on Saturday morning at 9:00 AM PST, could be an hour or two either way. It is about mutual funds, it allows call-ins, and has an 1-800 number. I have listed the site below. It allows streaming audio.

The man/men who do the show have a web site as well, it is called "themutualfundsstore" or something like that. Sorry, I can't recall the name of the guy that does the show. Just check out KFBK and see what you think.

Good luck on your enterprise.

The first step is to find several mutual funds that meet your investment risk assesments. Some are more risky than others. The next step is to look at their long term track records. How do they perform in both up markets and down markets. Next consider their expense ratios and how often they churn their holdings. A fund with a lower expense ratio is preferable to a fund with a higher expense ratio. And a fund with a lower churn rate is preferable to a fund with a high churn rate.
