New-age and millennial investors prefer investing in equities directly as they can track the movements of their top stock picks and attribute the investment performance to themselves. Further, the intra-day price movements in share prices create further excitement for some investors. However, direct equity investing may be complex since it requires a lot of research and adequate knowledge of stock markets in general.
In contrast, investors may choose to invest in mutual funds, wherein the money invested by different investors is pooled together to create an investment portfolio. The investment decisions are made by professional fund managers backed by research analysts.
Mutual funds are emerging as a preferred investment option due to the wide range of schemes available for investors. One can choose scheme/s among bouquet of products across the categories and aim to achieve their financial goals considering their investment horizon, and risk appetite.
