Risk Factors Associated with Investing Through MFDs
Risk Factors Associated with Mutual Fund Investments
Investing through mutual funds involves certain risks, and investors are advised to read all scheme-related documents carefully. Some key risks include:
- Market Risk: The value of mutual fund investments may rise or fall due to changes in overall market conditions.
- Liquidity Risk: Some securities held by mutual funds may not be easily traded in the market, which can affect timely redemptions.
- Credit Risk: In debt-oriented funds, there is a risk that the issuer of a bond or instrument may default in payment of interest or principal.
- Interest Rate Risk: Debt fund values are sensitive to interest rate changes. Rising interest rates may negatively impact returns.
- Inflation Risk: Over time, inflation may reduce the real value of your investment returns.
- Managerial Risk: Fund performance depends on the decisions of the fund manager. Incorrect calls or strategy may lead to underperformance.
- Scheme-Specific Risks: Each mutual fund scheme carries unique risks. Investors are advised to read the Scheme Information Document (SID) before investing.
