I agree with Jas.
Although mutual funds are a viable method of investing, you will need to do your homework, as about 75% of all mutual funds underperform the market. All of them have management fees. And some have sales loads.
Look at the annual return track record. And make sure you look at the management fees or if it has a sales load.
Other options you might consider are DRIP Plans or Retirement plans.
DRIP's are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.
They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down.
My advice is to stay conservative and think long-term. |

Two worst places to buy Mutual Funds;
Insurance Companies
Banks
Some full service brokers are good, some less good. Make sure they discuss "asset allocation". You'll be paying around $575 per $10,000 that you invest, for this advice (wether you get it or not).
For $50 or less you can buy a couple of books on Mutual Funds and learn enough to invest in "no-load" mutual funds and save tens of thousands of dollars over a lifetime.
* no-load means no commisions to buy or sell the fund. You deal directly with the fund company. |

Through bank, you dont have give cheques.
So better in sense.
But you dont get advise from bank but broker
If you have educated yourself for MF investing, banks are good othervise try brokers |

Neither. Go directly to a good no-load mutual fund house like Vanguard or T. Rowe Price. |

To invest in MFs u should have PAN card. U can either apply through broker or banker. Its up to u. Broker is preferred to banks as MFs is only a channel for banks and for brokers it is their livelihood. Also brokers are easily accessible compared to banks. In MFs to mett the expenses there's an term called load which will be upto 2.25. this applies to some schemes if you plan to redeem within the specified period. for tax savings it is called ELSS and it is having lock in period of 3 years. Effective from 2nd week of Jan if u apply directly to the fund or through their online site this entry load is waived as it is paid as brokerage to the broker. for basic knowledge u can view websites like economictimes.com, sharekhan.com, moneycontrol.com |
