What Else You Need to Do Beyond Checking the Returns?
Yes, the return is an important criterion as it tells about the way the fund has performed. But the decision to choose an equity mutual fund will also depend on the kind of risk appetite you have. If you have a moderate risk appetite, you would be better off choosing either a large or multi-cap fund. In case you can take a very high risk, you can go with mid and small-cap funds. Having said that, it’s ideal to choose two different types of funds for optimal investment diversification. Maybe, you should invest a maximum chunk in the fund that goes with your risk profile.
