Mutual Funds & Risk

There are no Zero Risk mutual funds.

 

You want two things. Safety and the best returns in one package. Not possible.
Firstly, there are no funds that can be termed safest when investing in mutual funds. The risks can be high or low, but mutual funds without risk do not exist. You should understand this at the onset.


Risk is often misunderstood as well. For instance, "safe" investments such as bank deposits also carry the risk of a bank going under. Morever, there is the risk in terms of interest rates.

 

Equity funds have the potential to give you the highest returns, when compared to other mutual funds, over a long-term. However, they carry the maximum amount of risk as they invest in stocks. On the other hand, liquid funds are the safest amongst all mutual funds, but they invest in securities that mature within a day to three months and, therefore, yield very modest returns. Within equity funds, pure large-cap offerings are safer than funds which invest in mid- and small-cap stocks. Based on your risk appetite and the time frame of your investments, make your selection.

The latest argument is that the craze for gold among Indian households is endangering our country's balance of payments. The policymakers are busy trying to find ways of discouraging investment in gold, but if households keep the common good in mind, they would be paying the market price for gas cylinders as they do for, say, their mobile phone bills. After all, private decisions are driven by private motives. So, how should a household look at gold from its own perspective? Gold is primarily acquired for its merit as a store of value. Even if the worst crisis hits a family, the gold that it holds could be put to use anywhere in th...
