3. Is investing in a mutual fund safe?

Answer: Yes it is. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the regulator of mutual funds which ensures that the interest of investors is protected. All mutual funds function under SEBI’s regulatory ambit. To ensure the judicious functioning of mutual funds and to safeguard the interests of the investors, SEBI has made it mandatory for mutual funds to elaborate the investment guidelines and report the requirements while also stipulating how the investor’s money should be invested. These regulations in turn, make mutual funds one of the most transparent investment tools available in India.

Also, mutual funds need to be compliant with the guidelines devised by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) to ensure that professional ethics is practiced.

4. Is there a right time to sell or exit a mutual fund scheme?

Answer: Decisions regarding investment and exit are associated with the financial goals of an individual. If you feel that the objective of your investment is nearing completion, you can exit the scheme. Debt and equity investments can only be sold in phases and have to be done much in advance before the completion of the goal, depending on the condition of the market. On the other hand, liquid and short term debt funds can be sold just a few months or days in advance.

The sole intention for investing in mutual funds is capital growth and if you feel that your chosen scheme is not delivering expected returns, you can exit from the scheme and switch to a scheme with better prospects. You can also exit from a scheme if you are in need of urgent funds.

5. How do I monitor the performance of the mutual funds I have invested in?

Answer: It is always advisable to monitor the performance of the funds in which you have invested, regularly. This will aid you in making timely decisions regarding redemption of units or exiting the scheme. A fund fact sheet is one of the tools that can be used to track your mutual fund investments and indicates if your scheme is performing well. The fund house will publish the fund fact sheet usually on a monthly basis and it covers - performance of the scheme, portfolio details, the investment details, and size of the scheme. The official site of the mutual fund will publish the fund fact sheet and you should refer to this document on a regular basis to keep a track of your investments.

6. What factors should I consider while choosing a mutual fund scheme?

Answer: Before you invest in a mutual fund scheme, you need to define your investment objective and the duration for which you want to invest for. You need to then understand your risk tolerance and make a list of the schemes that suit your requirements. Check for the track record of each of the schemes for their past performances. Though a good performance over the past does not guarantee good returns, it can definitely help you in making a prudent investment decision. Most importantly, you should read the scheme information document (SID) carefully before you invest in a particular scheme. Always consult a financial adviser if you have any confusions regarding the selection of funds.

7. What is Dividend and Growth Option?

Answer: When you opt for a dividend option, you will receive investment gains through dividends declared. Dividends can either be paid out on a regular basis or reinvested back into the same scheme. When a dividend is paid out, the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the unit falls by the same extent but the number of units held by the investor remains unaltered. In the dividend reinvestment option, you will not receive the dividend amount but it will be reinvested back into the same scheme and you will receive additional units which will be calculated on the prevailing NAV and dividend amount.

Growth option, on the other hand, will declare no dividends and hence, the NAV alone would capture the whole value of capital growth.

8. How do I get my grievances and complaints about my mutual funds resolved?

Answer: If you wish to make any complaint concerning your mutual fund investments, you can get in touch with the branch office of the fund house and also the trustees of the mutual fund, the information of which will be available in the scheme information document. You can also call the helpline number of Nippon India Mutual Fund at 1800-300-11111 (toll-free).
