What are the benefits of investing in a mutual fund?

The following are the various asset classes available to an investor:

Diversification
Mutual funds provide the retail investor with the opportunity to invest in varied investment schemes at relatively lower amount. Diversification allows investors to spread their portfolio across sectors and industries, in turn reducing the overall risk on their portfolio.

Professional Management
Mutual funds provide the benefits of having professional management of money by experts.
It is ideal for retail investors who do not have time or know-how about the markets to invest in them.

Low Transaction Cost
Due to economies of scale (benefit of larger volumes), mutual funds pay lower transaction costs. The benefits are passed on to a mutual fund investor, which may not be enjoyed by an individual who enters the market directly.

Liquidity
An investor may not be able to sell some of the shares held by him very easily and quickly whereas mutual fund units can always be redeemed either on every business day in the case of open-ended schemes or during specific intervals as outlined by the fund in case of close-ended schemes.

Transparency
Funds provide investors with updated information pertaining to the markets and schemes through fact-sheets, offer documents, annual reports etc.

Flexibility
Investors benefit from the convenience and flexibility offered by mutual funds to invest in a wide range of schemes. The option of systematic (at regular intervals) investment and withdrawal is also offered to investors in most open-ended schemes.

Strict Regulation
The Mutual Fund industry in India is well-regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). All funds are registered with SEBI and complete transparency is enforced..

Mutual Fund Review: Taurus Tax Shield

    Taurus Tax Shield has seen a turnaround in performance since 2007, but still remains a volatile offering… The fund has seen a turnaround in its performance since 2007 and has delivered impressively during market rallies since then. The portfolio is also more diversified. It contained its downfall to an average level in 2008 but is still one of the most volatile offerings in this category. Bold investors can look at this fund.   Strategy The fund manager invests across the market capitalisation and sectors. The selection of stocks is made on the basis of long-term business prospects and value creation. Fund Insight Launched in March 1996, the fund was a laggard with just two annual outperformances. Concentrated stock bets and high exposure to mid and small caps led to it being hit harder during market downturns. The number of stocks in the portfolio never exceeded 20 and it was not rare to see the top 5 holdings account for around 60 per cent of the portfolio. After b...

Stick to Good Fund Manager who Can Multiply Your Investment

A manager may be the difference between the best and worst funds. Here's how you can find the right one    Does a mutual fund manager make a difference to your investment? The answer may not be as easy as you think, since most best-performing mutual funds have moved away from individualistic fund management to process-driven methods, limiting the scope of an individual's role in investment decisions. In fact, many fund managers would speak at length about how the "system" their fund house has in place makes their task of picking stocks easy even though it restricts their freedom. Still, the question is important, especially after recent reports that the Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi ) may ask fund managers to disclose to investors their track record of managing money. Let us take a look at the universe of large-cap funds over the past five years. According to Value Research, an independent mutual fund tracking firm, the topper in the category is DSP...
