Comparing different funds in one view enable investors to take confident investment decisions.
Currently, there are 42 AMCs managing over 2000 primary mutual funds. Selecting a good mutual fund scheme from over 2000 schemes poses a big challenge for investors.
In this post, let's see how one can select a fund with ease.
To begin with, one should shortlist schemes from this entire universe based on individual investment needs, financial goal, risk appetite and product suitability.
All of these can be done in a few minutes using fundpicker – a powerful mutual fund screener with over 50 odd filters.

To make it easy, one needs to do a side-by-side comparison of the shortlisted funds based on few parameters such as funds' returns, risk adjusted returns, consistency in performance and more.
One should compare these shortlisted schemes in a single view, which enables to take a confident investment decisions.
