The equity market, buoyed by the surge in FII flows, has been able to climb the wall of worry quite easily.
The rising stock prices will definitely help boost MF investors’ confidence who have parked their monies in equity schemes.
The MF inflows in the equity funds can be expected to increase as the market sentiment improves and the equity prices attempt to soar after a recent correction. Market movement in the short run should not bother MF investors with a penchant for equity.
Look at funds that focus on broader markets for outperformance and invest systematically as it is the proven way to beat the markets. In case you are struggling to identify the best mutual funds schemes across various categories, this particular issue will come in handy as we have discussed this theme at length in our cover story on MF selection and have even highlighted the process to select top performing funds. Make the most out of the cover story. Also, in our special story we have mentioned why timing the NAV and rushing to buy a fund on a particular day or date is not always a good idea.
Our story explains why it hardly makes any difference to your MF portfolio performance. This issue is a special issue for MF investors as we bring to you MF Awards where we recognise the top performing mutual fund schemes and fund managers. I am sure the recognition of top performers will assist you in your own research. MF investing is all about creating wealth in the long run. The most important aspect here is to remain focused on the long-term financial goals. Stick to your original financial plan and remain invested immaterial of the market swings.
