No, mutual fund investments are not riskless.

Since mutual funds invest in the stock marketthey carry the same risk that Stock Market has. If the price of stocks tumbles due to some reason, the value of a mutual fund goes down and hence our investment worth also goes down. Certain type of funds like debt funds and balanced funds do not bear the brunt of a stock market collapse but they suffer losses too, during an economic crisis.

Since an experienced financial expert is investing on our behalf the chances of us suffering a loss is considerably reduced but it is not RISKLESS
