But unfortunately, most of us girls think... 'Why worry about Investment?.. Our father, brother, husband will take care of it.' That attitude is so wrong. Because girls, we are capable of taking much better financial decisions only if we educate ourselves. And thanks to this education, So Ladies....and Gentlemen conjointly... If you've got no clue concerning Mutual Funds, today by the end of this video, you will be 10 times smarter, financially. Because today, I will tell you

3. A Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to open your Mutual Fund Account. Just so that we have a tendency to area unit clear, this video isn't sponsored. So i do not care that open-end fund you selected. I'll just give you the right information. like I educate my younger sister about investment.
Let's begin.
Now what is Mutual Fund and what are the different types? Mutual Fund collects cash from folks like U.S.. Rs. 500 from Me, Rs. 500 from You and creates a money pool. A Fund Manager then uses this pool to take a position in stocks, bonds, assets. We don't need to worry concerning wherever it's being endowed as a result of the Fund Manager takes care of it for a commission of I Chronicles to twenty. If you would like to take a position future, Mutual Funds is a great option because instead of sitting idle, your money will go and earn for you. But how can I be sure that Mutual Fund will not run away with my money? Mutual Funds are regulated by SEBI. So running away is highly unlikely. However, if you selected dangerous|a nasty|a foul} fund manager then he/she would possibly lose your cash by investment in bad stocks. I'll tell you what to do so that doesn't happen. First, let's find out the different types of Mutual Funds available.
There are 3 major types.

| Mutual funds |
1. Equity Funds These Mutual Funds invest in shares, stocks of companies. They are thought of High Risk, but they also give High Returns.
2. Debt Funds These Mutual Funds invest in Debt instruments like Debentures, Government Bonds. They are safe investments however their returns also are less.
3. Hybrid Funds because the name suggests, they are a hybrid. They invest in each Equity yet as Debt. May be 50%-50% or 70%-30%. Their aim is to give you moderate returns at moderate risk. Then there area unit Sector Funds, Gilt Funds, Tax Savings Funds.... which are pretty easy to understand, but for now, let's stick to the basics. Now, how to pick the best Mutual Fund? I think the reason why we don't invest in Mutual Funds is because there are so many in the market, we don't know which one to pick!
So before you chose a Mutual Fund to invest in remember these 5 points.
1. If you want to invest Short-Term say 1 year or 2 years.. then don't chose Equity Funds. Chose Debt Funds. Because they're low risk than Equity and they provide additional returns than a bank.
2. If you would like to take a position long, there are 2 options...
a) Lump-Sum and
b) SIP Lump-Sum is when you give a huge amount, say 1 Lakh Rupees, all at the same time. And SIP is Systematic Investment Plan where you chose say Rs. 1000 or Rs. 2000 and each month that quantity can directly move from your bank account to your medium frequency account. If you're unaccustomed Mutual Funds, SIP is the best option.
3. Now which Mutual Fund to pick?
They will be categorised into 3 types.
a) large-capitalisation
b) Mid-Cap and
c) small-capitalisation
large-capitalisation Schemes invest in huge corporations that area unit already well established. So the risk is less.
MId-Cap Schemes come with Moderate Risk, but Moderate Returns.
Small-Cap Schemes, invest in even smaller companies. So they go together with High Risk however returns will be high.
If you're unaccustomed Mutual Funds, I would suggest that you pick a Mutual Fund that falls in the Large-Cap Scheme.
4. Before choosing a open-end fund, these are the parameters that you must check.
a) Returns: what proportion has that open-end fund created within the past. Check atleast 10 Years of their track record.
b) Expense Ratio: what quantity can that fund manager charge you for maintaining your account. It usually ranges between 1% to 3%.
c) Entry and Exit Load: Fees for entering and exiting that scheme.
5. There is something called 'Index Funds'. In these, you do not would like a Fund Manager in between, so the expense ratio is very less. There is an investment adviser who powerfully suggests that if you're new, just buy NIFTY50 and Sensex Index Funds and personally, this is what I have invested in. So these were the 5 things that you must keep in mind before you pick a Mutual Fund. Now it's time for the Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to open a Mutual Fund account.
1. Select the investment firm you wish to elect supported the five things that we've simply mentioned currently.

2. Figure out what quantity cash do you have to invest in SIP each month to satisfy your money goal. For that, we will use a SIP Calculator. Suppose in the next 15 Years, you want to make 1 Crore Rupees. The average Expected Rate of come for any investment firm is around 16 PF. Click on Calculate. So you need to invest around 13K every month for the next 15 Years, to make 1 Crore Rupees. You can even use the Return Value Calculator.
In this calculator, we will first enter how much money can you invest in every month. Let's assume it's Rs. 2000/- Let's also assume that you will invest it for the next 10 Years. As we know, the common Expected Rate of come for Mutual Funds is 16 PF. Click on Calculate. This means, that when you invest Rs. 2,40,000/- your expected Accumulated Wealth are going to be around Rs. 6 Lakh. And that will happen if you invest Rs. 2000/- for the next 10 years. I have left the links of these calculators here.
