There are various advantages related to investment in a mutual fund. They are stated below:
-Diversification
When the collective funds are invested into a wide range of categories, it can help to reduce risk exposure faced by the investor.
Let's say that the funds are invested in 10 selected stocks, and 4 of the stocks perform badly, still the overall performance of your portfolio would not be that bad due to the averaging effect of the stocks' performance.
-High Liquidity
Units can be sold easily within a short period of time.
Management company is always there to repurchase the units.
-Professional Management
Since most of us do not have the flexibility and the luxury of monitoring the market at all times, it would be great to have a professional hired to sit there and make sure that your money works hard enough for you!
These fund managers are profesionally trained and have years of experience in their field of expertise, something that not every commoner would have.
-Lower Investment Cost
If you intend to invest into the stock market, a big capital should be available to you, so that you can diversify your investment. However, in mutual fund, with a small capital outlay, you can be part of the bigger investment by the management company.
