What Is A Mutual Fund?
8 other friends of us also think alike. We all make a decision that we need to invest in stocks, but we do not have time or energy to do examine, exposure, buy sell, etc.Subsequently we sign up a “manager” who has the familiarity and say – see, you can take up to 2.5% of the total value of each year as your expense, but you buy stocks that will grow with time, and sell when the time comes.
Now, the mutual funds may be abused (the director can escape, etc.) so that the government has prepared the requirements of mutual funds. They must have a sponsor (usually a bank), a number of nurses (some independent), and the asset management company (AMC), which is appointed by the Treasurer.
Suppose we have put in a lakh each and the total corpus is Rs 10 lakh. We make a decision that we will issue the “units” to describe our interest in the fund, so that the number 1 lakh units to 10 rupees each.(Thus, each person gets 10,000 units, representing an investment of 1-lakh rupees.)
The director, who is very conversant and informed about purchasing decisions makes the image of what we, the investors have agreed to front – Large Cap stocks only that is to say, or just technology stocks, at least 90% efficiency (only 10% cash), etc.
The value of the entire corpus increases with the increase in stock values. Let’s say the value has risen to Rs. 15.6 lakhs in two years. Now we have to pay the treasurer 2.5% per year, around Rs. 60 000 for two years. So, what remains is Rs. 15 lakh.
Thus a value of 1 lakh “unit” is now Rs. 15 lakh, that is to say, each unit will be Rs. 15 -. This is called “net asset value” or NAV.
How to invest
Visit a bank, or check websites online. Forms will be given by the banks and you can write the review fund. The fund will offer you a “statement of participation” with the sheet number.
Sales (Redemption of units)
When you sell some of your units, use your number portfolio. Fund makes public their NAV regularly, sometimes daily. When you sell it will be on a certain day NAV (usually the day of the sale or the day immediately after). The money is given to you in two or three days.
Some sites allow you to invest online – Mutual Funds Trust ago, ICICI Bank and HDFC net banking and live well.
Types of funds
Note that mutual funds can invest in anything – not just stocks. There are those that invest in bonds, fixed income, indices of real estate, “from debt into equity”, etc. Before investing, the offer document of what is a mutual fund, what the fund will invest in and how much has to be read carefully.
