Why invest in Mutual funds?

Unlike other investment tools, Mutual Funds were introduced so that people could start investing with small amounts such as Rs 5,000, since usually this is not the case. Also, pooling your money with other investors can offer these advantages:

>  Diversification: A single fund can hold more securities than you as an individual or a company could buy with limited resources.

>  Professional management: A professional fund manager will manage the fund and continuously monitor its investments.

>  Convenience: Fund units can be bought and sold on any business day.
