Mutual funds are NOT fixed-income investments and therefore do not pay guaranteed return. Mutual funds are invested in stocks or corporations issued by the government where prices differ daily. As a result, the value of your investment also fluctuates depending on the performance of its underlying instruments. While funds’ earnings are not fixed average of 6-18% a year, the potential for investor to earn is higher.
Mutual Funds are well-diversified as it is invested in a basket of securities. Historically, mutual funds outperformed traditional time deposit placements or short-term money-market funds.
Mutual Funds do not have lapsing periods or expiry dates. It does not have a strict investing schedule that you must follow. You can invest monthly, quarterly, annually — it all depends on the investor when he/she will invest.
Though not required, Rampver recommends that investors should top-up their investments regularly to capture different market prices, thus maximizing the earnings potential of their investment. This also forges the discipline of investing regularly.
Your investment will form part of your estate and will be distributed to your heirs accordingly. However, much like any investment instrument, it will be subject to estate tax. It would be more practical if you could assign a co-investor upon account opening to ease the transfer of funds should something unfortunate happen to the primary investor.
