securities. Suitable for conservative investors. Example:

analyze market trends, assess risks, and make investment
decisions to maximize returns for investors.
Regulatory Oversight
In most countries, mutual funds are regulated by financial
authorities like SEBI (India), SEC (USA), or FCA (UK) to ensure
transparency and investor protection.
Net Asset Value (NAV)
What is NAV?
Net Asset Value (NAV) is the per-unit price of a mutual fund
scheme. It is calculated as the total value of assets minus
liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding units.
Formula
NAV = (Total Assets - Liabilities) / Total Units Outstanding.
Importance of NAV
NAV helps investors determine the value of their holdings
and is updated daily based on market fluctuations.
Entry Load & Exit Load
Entry Load
An entry load is a fee charged when an investor buys mutual
fund units. It is usually a percentage of the investment
amount but has been abolished in many countries.
Exit Load
An exit load is a fee imposed when an investor redeems
mutual fund units before a specified period. It discourages
premature withdrawals.
Impact on Investment
These charges affect the net investment amount and returns,
so investors should consider funds with lower or no loads.
Expense Ratio
Definition
The expense ratio is the annual fee charged by mutual funds to
cover management, administrative, and operational expenses.
It is expressed as a percentage of total assets under
management (AUM).
Formula
Expense Ratio = (Total Expenses / Total Assets) × 100.
Impact on Returns
A higher expense ratio reduces net returns, so investors should
compare funds with similar strategies to choose cost-effective
options.
SIP vs. SWP
Key Differences
SIP is for accumulating wealth over time, while SWP is used for
systematic withdrawals post-investment, ensuring financial
stability.

Direct funds offer better long-term returns due to lower
costs, making them preferable for informed investors.
