People are often looking for new ways to create additional money to
help them pay their bills and general expenses which are seemingly going
up at a faster rate than wages, or to get rid of or at least reduce the
day-to-day stress involved with the traditional work place.
Perhaps
you are looking to make life a bit easier for you and your family by
earning extra money each month. Or perhaps it is your intention to
possibly replace your job income to enable you to become time free.
Whatever your incentive is you have to establish what you expect to gain
from your endeavour.
This would be the starting point in
formulating a detailed plan which will allow you to achieve the level of
income that you need. For example if your goal is to earn $3,000 a
month then your plan for achieving this would have to be significantly
different if your goal was to earn a few hundred dollars a month.
There
are many ways to achieve your goals. One possible way is to develop
your very own investment portfolio. It is possible that in a relatively
short period of time (it will not come overnight however) you could you
reach your goals whatever they are, without necessarily having to spend
thousands in the process.
Leave nothing to chance and with some
helpful information you can succeed. However a cautionary note like
everything else in life there can be no guarantees that you will be
successful.

Helpful Tips for Mutual Fund Investors
Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Please read the offer document carefully before investing." You must have heard this statement quite often on radio and TV, read it in newspapers, and seen it on any other media. This statement is in relation to mutual funds in India. What mutual fund companies are trying to say here is that there are several different types of mutual funds to suit the need of various people, which is why one must read through the investment statements carefully before investing their money.
The definition of a mutual fund can be derived from its name. It is a collection of money pooled together by a large number of investors (sources) who in turn hand it over to a fund manager to invest in a large portfolio of stocks or bonds. While fund managers take care of your investments, you need to pay them a small fee in return.
There are several different types of mutual funds in India such as Equity, Debt, Money Market, Sector Specific, and Index. There is also something known as a Mutual Fund SIP which is commonly used by people these days. SIPs or Systematic Investment Plans- are actually the manner or method of saving or investing. For example, if Karan wants to invest Rs 1, 00,000 in mutual funds he can invest it all at one go, or do it with SIPs and invest 10,000 a month for 10 months.
There are several factors that one needs to consider while investing in mutual funds.
• Find a mutual fund to match your financial profile While there may be several companies aggressively selling their mutual funds, make a wise decision and go for a plan that suits your income levels. While it is important to save, remember not to opt for a plan that makes you save more than is possible for you.
• Be aware of your fund manager’s track record It is important for you to pick a reliable and trustworthy fund manager. It is best to pick based on the amount of time the manager has been in charge of a particular fund, and whether he has delivered increasing and reliable returns over that period of time.
• Beware of short-term performances Funds that display spectacular short-term performances are often short-lived. Thus, opt for long-term investments, usually five years or more. In order to judge the credibility of the mutual fund, one would need to observe its past record, how it has fared in relation to similar funds and its overall performance.
