Why You Should Invest in Mutual Funds Over Stock Investing


mutual funds


Directly buying individual stocks entails active research and experience that most of us take years to develop to get it right. 


What if relatively passive, diversified investing options with low entry are feasible? Basically, what if you could do stock investing by skipping that entire process above? Exploring mutual funds allows just that! 


Introduction to Mutual Funds


Mutual funds serve as a convenient and accessible investment vehicle for individuals looking to participate in the financial markets without the need for extensive research or a large ticket size. By pooling funds from multiple investors, mutual funds construct diversified portfolios comprising various asset classes such as stocks, bonds, and other securities.


Essentially, if you and your friends put in Rs. 100 each, and you give that money to your finance bro friend to invest into stocks - that’s a mutual fund!


Structure of Mutual Funds


Mutual funds are structured as trusts, with a fund manager responsible for managing the portfolio in line with the fund's investment objectives and strategy. Investors purchase units or shares of the mutual fund, and the fund's assets are managed collectively on their behalf. 


The fund's performance is reflected in its Net Asset Value (NAV), which represents the value of the fund's assets minus liabilities, divided by the total number of units outstanding - almost like a share price of the mutual fund.


How Mutual Funds Work


Mutual funds operate under a simple principle: pooling resources from investors to achieve a common investment objective. The fund manager makes investment decisions based on thorough analysis and research, aiming to generate returns that outperform the market or a specific benchmark index.


Benefits of Investing in Mutual Funds


  1. Professional Expertise

Mutual funds offer access to skilled fund managers and research teams who leverage their expertise to construct and manage portfolios effectively. This professional management can potentially enhance returns and manage risks better than individual investors.


  1. Diversification

By investing in a mutual fund, investors gain exposure to a diversified portfolio of securities across various asset classes, sectors, and geographies. This diversification helps mitigate risk and reduce the impact of adverse market movements on the overall portfolio.


  1. Low Investment Tickets 

Many mutual funds have low minimum investment requirements, making them accessible to retail investors with limited capital. This allows individuals to start investing with as little as ₹500-1000, promoting financial inclusion and wealth creation.


In conclusion, mutual funds offer a convenient and efficient way for retail investors to participate in the financial markets and achieve their investment goals. With professional management, diversification benefits, and low entry barriers, mutual funds serve as an ideal investment option for individuals seeking a balanced and hands-off approach to wealth creation. 


By incorporating mutual funds into their investment portfolios, retail investors can harness the potential of Indian equity markets while effectively managing risks and maximising returns over the long term.
