Be Rational and Increase your Mutual Fund Returns
Be rational and increase your Mutual Fund returns
Many a times emotions take a ride over rationality in
life, but this should not be while investing in mutual funds. Any retail investor
would feel happy while they see growth in their investments but anxious if the
prices decline and start selling their units fully or partially. Instead of
getting emotional smart investors would take logical decisions and they advantage
of lower prices and add more funds to their portfolio and increase their
returns.
The decisions made based on the information should be
avoided rather it needs to be on the basis of data your mutual fund distributor
would be able to help you with facts and analysis. Investments needs to be
viewed on long term basis while investing in stock market.
