Share |

Investors often get confused in choosing Mutual Funds over stocks or any other investment domain. Mutual Funds Investing has very advantages over other form of investment and has a certain level of risk involved. In this post I would discuss about advantages of investing in mutual funds.

Diversified small investments: Mutual Funds investment is done in various industries which are often from different domains of operations like Auto, Pharma, Oil and Gas etc. This approach helps in reducing loss making risks as if one sector is under pressure then other may be rising, Pharma is sector which is recession proof and evergreen. Also you make small investments and this further reduces the amount of risk you are into.

Lots of choices: Investor can pick a mutual fund which invests in his favourite area of expertise. This can vary from one investor to another according to their profile and risk taking guts.

Well Regulated Mutual Funds: Mutual funds are well regulated and governed by rules and regulations made by SEBI, which are designed to protect the interests of the investor. Distributors or Advisors who advise investors on which mutual finds to invest in are also required to be compulsorily AMFI certified i.e. they are required to pass certain uniform tests that will ensure their knowledge and expertise to advise other people. Mutual Funds are also managed by professionals.

Tax Saving Advantages: dividend from Mutual funds is presently non-taxable

So be smart investor and invest in Mutual Funds.
