The Hindu Lit Fest 2024 | ‘Mutual funds give access to equity, debt and gold through one route,’ says Monika Halan

The Hindu  

Mutual funds have grown hugely popular in India in recent times, with the size of assets under the management of mutual funds crossing the ₹50 lakh crore mark at the end of 2023. Monika Halan, author of Let’s Talk Mutual Funds, talks to The Hindu about why mutual funds should be part of the Indian investor’s portfolio, the risks involved and how investors can mitigate them. Why should Indians choose mutual funds over traditional assets such as fixed deposits, gold and real estate? Mutual funds give access to equity, debt and gold through one route. Many retail investors pick mutual funds based on past returns.
