The first step is to find out the objectives of the investment. The objectives of an investment in mutual funds will be low risk or high risk, short or long term focus on liquidity, fixed income or equity. If the objectives of the investment are the same as that of the investor, then one can go on to the next step.
It is very important to evaluate the past performance of the mutual fund. Through this evaluation the investor can get an idea of how the performance of the fund compares to other available options. One can also determine if the objectives that are stated have been fulfilled. This can be achieved by finding out which mutual funds have performed the best in the market. A good mutual fund should have a track record of consistently outperforming its benchmark.
It is also a good idea to evaluate the performance of the mutual funds over a number of different periods of time. These could be three months, one year or three years depending on what period the investor wishes to keep his investment. The mutual funds that fall among the top five should then be shortlisted by the investor.
The third step to choose a good mutual fund is diversification. An investor must diversify his funds in order to expand the amount of investment. This means that the investor should select two or more mutual funds that have similar investment objectives. This will help the investor to minimize the risks involved with his investments.
Before choosing a Mutual Fund, the investor should examine the costs of the fund. These include sales loads, annual fund expenses and also management fees.
