Editor Responds : Thank you for writing to us. When reading a mutual fund factsheet, start by understanding the fund’s investment objective to see if it aligns with your goals and risk tolerance. Examine its asset allocation, top holdings, and sector exposure to gauge diversification and risk. Review historical performance compared to the benchmark, focusing on consistency and risk-adjusted returns like the Sharpe ratio.
Further, check the expense ratio and any entry or exit loads, as fees directly impact your returns. Finally, evaluate the fund manager’s expertise and risk metrics like beta and standard deviation to assess volatility. A well-rounded review ensures informed investment decisions. Hope this helps you to improve your investing strategy
