The mutual fund value is determined by the Net Asset Value calculated based on the average of the total value of the securities held by the fund.

Benefits of Investing in Equity Mutual Funds

A mutual fund is a collection of equities and/or debt. Some of the benefits of investing in equity mutual funds are:

  • Diversification: Mutual fund investments have spread over different companies and assets. It invests in a mixture of products of both high as well as low risk thereby, letting it grow.
  • Low Minimum Investment: One can start investing with as little as Rs. 100.
  • Transparency: The investments made are available every month. So, if required one can see what his or her fund manager is doing.
  • Liquidity: As the money is invested in various stocks and bonds, one can withdraw the money anytime to meet financial needs. The money gets deposited in the bank account within two days and if one chooses Instant Redemption Fund, he or she can get the money back within a minute by selling off the fund.

Best Equity Mutual Funds

According to SEBI, if a fund invests 65% or more in equities, it classifies as an equity-oriented mutual fund. Best mutual funds tend to offer high returns on medium to long term investments. Since they heavily invest in stocks, they are considered risky. There may be frequent fluctuations.

Fund returns help in determining returns for a period of five to seven years. Fund history should be ideally five years as by that time it would have seen the ups and downs of the market. Expense ratio is the annual expense in funds expressed in terms of percentage of the average net asset while financial ratios or risk factor ratios help in choosing the best mutual funds considering the risk factors involved.
