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..

Group Health Insurance

Buy Group Health Insurance Online   For Human Resources, the biggest challenge today is to decide whether medical benefits should be offered to employees or not, what type of plans should be offered, what will be the cost and how will the cost be split between employees and employer. Well, most of these are subjective and would depend on a lot of factors including company size, average employee salary, etc. However, this article will give you a fair idea on how you should go about deciding these factors: 1.

Stock Market Concepts: Derivatives and taxation

DERIVATIVES refer to an instrument, which derives its value from the value of something else — that is, an underlying asset. In India, the derivatives space has traditionally been the playground for large institutional investors who use it for hedging or for speculative activities. However, with time, we have seen a steep augmentation in the per capita income of an average Indian. Consequently, the appetite for investment in alternative instruments has transcended into the need to explore untested territories, and one of the most lucrative of all the available options, is the derivatives. Taxation Of Derivatives: Let's have a sharp overview of how taxability impacts the dealings in futures and options: Futures: Since, there is no transfer or delivery of the underlying asset in case of futures, the income or loss from it cannot be taxed under the head "capital gains". Therefore, depending upon the fact whether the assessee is a trader or an investor, the head of income...
