When you are investing in mutual funds, it's natural to look for the best ones.
But this is not an easy task. Many investors blindly go by past performance. This is a mistake.
When you compare the performance of mutual funds you cannot look at returns in isolation. You need to factor in the risk too. Thus, you will need to check the risk-adjusted returns of mutual funds.
The risk-adjusted return essentially measures the degree of risk taken by a fund to earn returns. It's a useful tool to select winning mutual funds.
The best mutual fund scheme you chose depends on the suitability of the fund for you. This is based on your risk appetite, the fund's investment objectives, and your investment horizon.
You will also need to look at the risk-adjusted return of the fund. In this way you can narrow down the best mutual fund for you.
While comparing funds to select the best one, please do so among the same category of funds. Comparing a largecap fund with a smallcap fund does not make sense because they have different risk-return profiles.
