How to analyze an equity mutual fund?

Let's say you have shortlisted a couple of equity mutual funds, how do you choose between those? While it's almost impossible to predict which fund will do better, you can ensure that you can pick funds that are well managed. Also, picking funds just by looking at the past return is a recipe for disaster.

In this video, Karthik explains:
1. Why you shouldn't just look at point to point returns and instead look at rolling returns
2. How do understand the risk and return trade-off of funds

I love the "if you're capable of nitpicking on the fund's portfolio, then why mutual funds. With that, let's move on" 🧐

I am a teacher and I learn a lot of things from this video not only about finance but also teaching methodology.🙏

Too much numerical or statistical analysis is confusing. I prefer Large Cap funds, and a mix of LC and Midcap funds. It provides fair degree of growth and security to the capital. These are not going to go up in a puff! This rule has worked well for me for the last seven years.

One shall not jsut shop around because the expense ratio is high. A good product is a good option so people do not have problems when they pay a little higher for such things.

Hi Karthik, thanks for knowledgable series
Question - if a mutual fund manager is changing every 3yrs how you analyse such mutual fund ( ex icici prudential large and mid cap fund)?

[sukumars]

Is it advisable for SIP investors to consider taking partial profits during a bull market when the market is at its peak and then transition a portion of their investments into debt funds?

[akshayposhattiwar]

Hello Sir....The video is very informative...thank you for all the information

I had one query though.
I have few equity mutual funds in regular plan....and wanted to switch to direct plan. As the funds are performing well I would preferably take the same funds in direct plan.
Q1. What all parameters/charges should I look at?
Q2. How do I calculate the TDS on closure of these mutual funds? Any document or info you can point to for this.

I have a question with down side capture ratio if the category is 90 and MF is 72....it should be lesser then 90 or more ?

[curiosityjunkie]

Wouldn't the CAGR be 22.47% for 1st guy ?

[darkmatter]

7:37 both fund and category lacked benchmark means you are saying that both has greater SD than index ?

How to analyse a new fund which is launched? Which websites have rolling returns

[insights_isha]

Hey could you please explain the tax implications of mutual fund if I invest for five years? How much tax I have to pay?

[mannamathe]

Where can i get these data e.g. alpha, beta etc...

[baIIshevik]

Is there any platform to compare the mutual funds like in this video

[ashutoshkankane]

Sir
Rolling returns of the same fund for the same period for the same date is showing different on different websites. How can we be sure? Which website is giving correct data.
