Investors should remember that each and every MF scheme is not suitable for them. One should select a fund after considering his/her needs and purpose of the investment.
Diversifying your Mutual Fund portfolio is the best way to invest. Investing in various MF plans helps in balancing the portfolio as the risk gets diversified and also the money gets invested into different sectors.
Plan and then invest in Mutual Funds. You should plan the monthly allocation of investment and also do a thorough study of the asset management of the fund you are selecting.

Always invest with a long term approach. Five years of investment is the minimum time one should consider for the funds to show real growth.
Mutual Funds are subjected to market risks and the investors should be mentally prepared to face those. One should select the funds which suits your risk profile and goals.
Keep a track of your portfolio. If the funds are not growing after a stipulated time, make sure to make changes to your portfolio and select new MFs.
