Match your goals to schemes choosing mutual funds (MF) to save for your goals needs careful consideration. Not all funds can meet your expectations. You will need to link your goal with the investment horizon and then choose the right mutual fund scheme to achieve your desired goals. When it comes to planning for your child’s future needs, say, around ten years away, you may want to stick to large-cap funds as they invest in well-established, top-rung companies and are, therefore, less volatile. For goals, which are around five years away, balanced mutual funds can be the answer. Similarly, for goals that are 1-3 years away, debt funds should be the ideal parking slot. For your needs that are less than a year, shorter-term and liquid funds should be your investment vehicles.
Never ignore the objective of the scheme
Investing in a specific MF scheme without knowing the scheme’s objective is like boarding a train without any goal in mind. Every fund’s information document including the fact sheet carries the objective of the scheme. Read it to align to your goals. Depending on the objective of the MF scheme, the fund manager invests in the stocks of large-, mid-or small-cap companies, or in a mix of them. Whether the scheme would diversify across industries or be concentrated in one or few specific is also conveyed from the objectives. Each fund, therefore, has its own distinguished objective and risk-reward grid. Understanding what is important to align your financial objectives with that of the funds’ performance is key to generating optimum results.
