2. What is Mutual Fund ?  A Mutual Fund is a professionally managed collective investment scheme that pools money from many investors and invests typically in securities (stocks, bonds, short term money market instruments, other mutual funds and other securities) on behalf of the investors/unit holders and distributes the profits.  In other words, a mutual fund allows an investor to indirectly take a position in a basket of assets.

3. How do mutual funds diversify their risks? How do mutual funds diversify their risks?  According to basic financial theory an investor can reduce his risk by holding a portfolio of assets instead of only one asset. This is because by holding all your money in just one asset, the entire fortunes of your portfolio depends on this one asset. By creating a portfolio of a variety of assets, this risk is substantially reduced. Can mutual funds assumed to be risk-free investments?  No. Mutual fund investments are not totally risk free. In fact, investing in mutual funds bears the same risk as investing in the equities, the only difference is that due to professional management of funds the controllable risks are substantially reduced.

4. What are the types of risks involved in investing in mutual funds? A very important risk involved in mutual fund investments is the market risk. When the market is in doldrums, most of the equity funds will also experience a downturn. However, the company specific risks are largely eliminated due to professional fund management.

Diversification Purchasing units in a mutual fund instead of buying individual stocks or bonds, the investors risk is spread out and minimized up to certain extent. The idea behind diversification is to invest in a large number of assets so that a loss in any particular investment is minimized by gains in others. Economies of Scale Mutual fund buy and sell large amounts of securities at a time, thus help to reducing transaction costs, and help to bring down the average cost of the unit for their investors. Liquidity Just like an individual stock, mutual fund also allows investors to liquidate their holdings as and when they want. Simplicity Investments in mutual fund is considered to be easy, compare to other available instruments in the market, and the minimum investment is small.

6. What are the parameters on which a Mutual Fund scheme are evaluated? What are the parameters on which a Mutual Fund scheme are evaluated? Performance indicators are: -total returns given by the fund on different schemes, -the returns on competing funds, -the objective of the fund and -the promoter’s image These are some of the key factors to be considered while taking an investment decision regarding mutual funds.
