Do we ever think the same way when it comes to investing? This is a most important point which I will cover in this post along with some insights on Mutual fund investments & its benefits. Recently I was invited along with few finance bloggers from Mumbai by Reliance Mutual Fund for a Bloggers meet at their Business center in Mumbai. The agenda was to bring awareness for Mutual funds & its benefits through blogger. In this post, I will explain about the Mission Prosperity Mutual Fund Day (MFD) & Fund For A Friend (FFAF) initiative by Reliance To start with, Let's understand with few basics of the Mutual Fund, its definition & how we can make more money by investing it this product.
What is Mutual Fund:
In simple words "Mutual fund is an investment program usually run by an asset management company that coordinates with a group of people & invest their money in equity, stock markets, bonds & securities in order to provide maximum returns on investment."How Mutual Fund is different & it Benefits:
This is because the current rate of interest on bank deposit which is currently at 6-7 % approximately is not enough to provide high returns on your idle money. The only benefit it has that you can have with them is you can withdraw it whenever you want. When it comes to saving for your future do we really bother about withdrawing it in a short duration of time? The answer is again "No". Now coming to the people who want to invest in the stock market but don't know anything about the way it works. They don't know which equity or stock is giving high returns, they don't have the knowledge about the trends of the market. Some people loose their money by speculating the market & investing their money without any knowledge & end up losing their money. This is where mutual funds come in handy to rescue you from all this. A fund manager will do the job for you with the help of research team that will continuously analyze the market trends and will select suitable investments to achieve your goals. They charge a nominal fee as a fund management charges for investing your money in stocks. Don't worry every these Mutual Fund houses & Asset management companies are regulated by SEBI( Securities & Exchange Board of India).
What is Mutual Fund Day (MFD):
Har Mahine ki tarikh saat, Kijiye Mutual Fund ke aadat se ki shuruat !The MFD is an initiative by Reliance Mutual Fund to aims to reach out to the all the investors in India, to build awareness & consideration towards Mutual Fund, so as to help investors to fulfill their dreams by investing in an asset class. through various Investor Awareness, Camps & Media led events Reliance Mutual Fund in partnership with Network 18 is connecting the dots to educate the mass of our country to inculcate the habit of investing regularly.
