A Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. It is essentially a diversified portfolio of financial instruments – these could be equities, debentures / bonds or money market instruments. The corpus of the fund is then deployed in investment alternatives that help to meet predefined investment objectives. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciation realized are shared by its shareholders in proportion to the number of shares (NAVPS) owned by them. Thus, a Mutual Fund is a suitable investment for the common person as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost. A mutual fund can make money in two ways: 1) the security can pay dividends and interest to the fund; or 2) A security can rise in value.

As a general rule, Mutual Funds do not offer guaranteed returns to investors. As an investor, you should note the risk and returns of the fund you invested in. All returns depend on the following factors: the amount of money you invested, market conditions, and the strategy of the fund manager.

Liquidity Investors can sell their holdings in mutual fund investments anytime without worrying about finding a buyer at the right price. Low Cost There is no “Front – end” fee (fee that is being charged upon initial investment). Moreover, since mutual funds are a pool of money of many investors, the amount of investment made in securities is large and therefore can command a lower (fee) charge. Transparency Prices of open-ended mutual funds are declared daily. Regular updates on the value of your investment are available. The portfolio is also disclosed regularly with the fund manager’s investment strategy and outlook. Safe Mutual funds are highly/well regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and function under strict regulations designed to protect the interest of investors.
