- Where can you purchase mutual funds - banks, brokerage houses, third party distributors
- Fill out form - you will need your PAN number for that
- Get receipt/acknowledgment as proof that you have invested in the fund
- Fund House will send you regular statements on your status and NAV of your units
- You can choose to invest through a SIP scheme - Systematic Investment Plan. Allows you to invest small amounts of money at regular intervals. Helps you avoid market timing and you can enter the market with a small amount of capital rather than a lump sum. You can also set up an electronic transfer directly from your bank through the ECS transfer facility, so you don't have to write a cheque every month
- How can you educate yourself about MF's - read personal finance magazines like Outlook Money or Money Today or the personal finance sections of business newspapers; may newspapers like Hindu or Business Standard also carry weekly reports on the mutual funds
