What are the main differences between ETFs and Mutual Funds?
The truth is you need to invest in the fund that will make you the most money. Look at rankings monthly Both ETFs and Mutual Funds allow for broad diversification or narrow sector concentration (e.g., industry, country, foreign currency, debt instead of equity) by a purchase of one single holding. They can be described as "baskets of stocks" that have some kind of common "theme." There are however several main differences: ETFs trade on exchanges like stocks and can be bought and sold at any time during the exchange trading sessions, although some of them may be extremely thinly traded. Mutual Funds, on the other hand, have to be usually redeemed or purchased only at the Net Asset Value, based on closing prices for the day. Thus, if there is a negative event, you cannot use an automated sell stop and have to ride the prices all the way to the day's close. Nevertheless, the problems with liquidity under normal economic conditions are very rare with Mutual Funds. Unlike many Mutual Funds, ETFs do not have minimums to invest, minimum holding periods or early withdrawal fees. Mutual Funds are likely to have different classes of shares A/B/or C, which may have to be held for a certain minimum time to avoid fees when selling (sometimes 2 to 3 years, or more). Both ETFs and Mutual Funds deduct managerial and operational expenses from your (growing or shrinking) investment, but when compared especially to Load Mutual Funds, ETFs on average have lower such deductions. ETF trades, on the other hand, will be garnished with brokerage commission fees. However, nowadays, at discount online brokers they are almost negligible. Highly liquid ETFs, those with large daily volumes, are complemented with options that trade on Options Exchanges. Such options may be useful in hedging larger or riskier positions. Mutual Funds are not optionable. Mutual Funds usually cannot be bought on margin or sold short by an investor. This can be done easily with ETFs. Also, all ETFs are available through almost any broker. That is not always true about Mutual Funds that have specific agreements with different brokerage houses. Unlike Mutual Funds, ETFs may be highly leveraged, buy on margin or trade options, employ short selling, or use complicated derivatives to achieve, for example, inverse performance of given indices (e.g., SKF). This may be useful for anybody wanting to employ leverage in IRA or 401K accounts.

How to Pick Your Funds?
The best mutual funds are not the mutual funds that performed the best last year. Believe it or not, that has little effect on how it will perform this year.

How do you select a mutual fund?
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. There are a lot of Online trading portals that are listed with the NSE and BSE that help you to choose the right funds by providing all the necessary market information. Reliance Mutual Funds, ICICI, HDFC, Franklin Templeton are some of the best that are available. Reliance Mutual Funds provides a lot of information to investors through their knowledge centre.

Are mutual funds a good investment for parents saving for their kids college funds?
Mutual funds have become very popular, but are not insured by FDIC. If you are looking for a sure thing that has better return than a savings account, I would look into something that is secured by the FDIC. Some of these may not offer the return of a well managed mutual fund in good years, but that being said, not all mutual funds are well managed or diversified enough and can put your money at risk. The FDIC has a website that helps you understand what investments are protected by the government at: http://www.fdic.gov/consumers/information/fdiciorn.html. College funds are supposed to be there when need and not at risk.
