5 Risks In Mutual Funds Investments

News 18  

Investing in mutual funds can be a powerful way to grow your wealth and achieve financial goals. Market Risk: Mutual funds are subject to market fluctuations, meaning the value of the fund’s investments can go up or down. When interest rates rise, the value of existing bonds generally falls, which can lead to a decrease in the net asset value of bond mutual funds. Liquidity Risk: Some mutual funds invest in securities that may not be easily sold or may require a significant time to liquidate without impacting the price. Understanding these risks can help investors make more informed decisions when considering mutual fund investments.
