How to Choose Suitable Mutual Funds for Your Financial Goals?
Share on FacebookShare on X

In India, mutual funds provide a range of investment options that are professionally managed, making them a popular choice for many investors. They can help meet diverse financial goals, whether you’re aiming for long-term growth, a steady income, or a mix of both. However, since there are such diverse options, selecting the correct type of mutual fund that aligns with your financial goals can pose a challenge.

In this post, we will guide you through the fundamentals of mutual funds, including the various types you can choose from and how to choose the right kind of mutual fund for your financial goals.

Understanding Mutual Funds

A mutual fund is an investment instrument consisting of multiple funds gathered from investors and overseen by a fund manager who allocates them to different assets such as stocks (equities), bonds, real estate and other financial instruments.

The main objective of a mutual fund is to offer investors expert management and diversification opportunities to help them grow their wealth.

Types of Mutual Funds

Depending on your investment style, there are various types of mutual funds that you should know about to achieve your financial objectives.

1.   Equity Funds

These mutual funds primarily target stocks and are suited for investors seeking long-term growth. They have higher risks than investments such as bonds or cash reserves.

2.   Debt Funds

Debt funds generally concentrate their investments on fixed-income assets like bonds or corporate debt instruments. These provide a consistent income source for investors looking to secure their portfolios.

3.   Hybrid Funds

Mutual funds that combine elements of stocks and bonds are known as hybrid funds.

Hybrid funds blend stocks and fixed-income securities to offer investors a mix of growth and stability in their portfolios. They cater to those looking for both development and stability in their investments.

Choosing The Right Mutual Fund

Selecting the appropriate mutual fund is essential for reaching your financial objectives. Take into account these aspects when determining where to invest in funds-

1.   Objective of Investment

Before deciding which fund to go for, think about what you want out of it.

  • Equity funds are the best choice for long-term growth.
  • Consider investing in debt funds if you are looking for stability and regular income.
  • Hybrid funds can be suitable for someone looking to balance risk and returns.

2.   Fund Manager’s Experience

A fund manager is crucial for overseeing your investments in a mutual fund. Search for a manager with a successful history of managing funds. They are better equipped to make sound decisions that can result in improved returns when the market is volatile.

3.   Expense Ratio

The expense ratio is the charge imposed by the fund manager for handling your investments. Selecting a fund with a lower expense ratio is crucial since a substantial fee can diminish your earnings in the long run. Comparing the expense ratios of funds can assist you in discovering the most budget-friendly choice.

4.   Performance History

Although previous results don’t promise future gains, they can offer perspectives on how effectively a mutual fund has fared under various market scenarios in the past years. Seek out funds that have consistently surpassed their reference index and competitors over the years to analyse whether the fund effectively aligns with your objectives.

5.   Assets Under Management (AUM)

The amount of money a fund manages is known as its Assets Under Management (AUM). A large AUM suggests that investors favour the fund. However, if it grows too big for the manager to handle efficiently, it can impact the fund’s performance. Conversely, a very low AUM may signal a lack of trust from investors, so it’s advisable to select a fund with a moderate AUM, depending on the type of fund.

How to Invest in Mutual Funds?

Now that you know the concept of mutual funds and how to select the right one for yourself, let us dive into the ideal approach for investing in mutual funds to begin your investment journey. Here are the steps to help you get started-

1. Clarify Your Objectives

Before embarking on any investment venture, you should establish your objectives first. Whether purchasing a property, supporting your child’s education, or building a corpus for your retirement, having a defined goal aids in choosing the right mutual fund for your portfolio.

2. Selecting the Appropriate Mutual Fund

When selecting the fund that best fits your needs, consider your tolerance for risk, the time duration you plan to invest, and your objectives. Use the criteria mentioned earlier to help narrow down your choices.

When you have decided to opt for mutual fund investment, you can follow the steps listed and start investing in mutual funds through leading mutual fund distributors such as ICICI Bank:

1. Download the iMobile app from the Play Store or App Store and log in to your account using your ID and password.

2. Get to the “Invest” section and select “Mutual Funds”. The page for investment in mutual funds through SIP opens.

3. As per SEBI guidelines, completing a one-time KYC for seamless investments through SIPs is mandatory. It’s a quick process integrated with the Digilocker account.

4. Decide on the amount you wish to invest regularly. This amount will be auto-debited from your bank account on a recurring basis, helping you build a disciplined investment habit.

5. Choose a convenient date for the SIP amount to be auto-debited from your account each month. This date should align with your financial planning to ensure sufficient balance for the investment. This final step activates your SIP, setting you on the path to wealth accumulation.

To maximise the benefits of your investments, you should choose suitable mutual funds based on your risk-taking preference and financial goals.

Conclusion

Selecting the right mutual fund for your financial objectives involves comprehending the various categories of mutual funds, understanding the associated risks and considering essential factors like investment goals and strategies set by the fund manager, expense ratio evaluations, and past performance records.

By keeping these considerations at the forefront of your decision-making process, you can choose a fund that fits well with your aspirations and tolerance for risk.
