I am planning to invest in mutual funds around 50k, for a short term, might not extend beyond 3-4 months, that would yeild the most. I want to know which is the better one in india?? and would it be possible to know where the firm has been investing???? Please Help me.
When i checked the moneycontrol.com for past 3 years, i couldnt find any dip for the 3 month investments( correct me if i am wrong). I want to increase my money as much as possible in the shotest duration. SInce, I am new to this i would want to play safe and also. Would it be possible for you to let me know what are the other forms of safe investments. or which mutual fund to go for, i could see that the magnum global fund has yeilded 22% and principal tax savings has yeilded 18.5% do you think that these will continue to appriciate or are they saturated or which one might appreciate the most for the next 3 months.
and also what do you mean by money market fund??
if you need the money in 3 months i wouldnt put it in a mutual fund at all, unless its a money market fund, if something happens to the market and there is a short term dip you could lose money because you cant wait it out
is this money you have to keep safe? or just investment money?
just adding now: both of those funds you posted look to be load funds, meaning you chop 2.5% or so off the investment right up front, the magnum one looks like it has another 1% surrender fee, so you would have to gain about 4% in three months just to come out even, not likely
just put it in a money market or online savings account, or like someone else said, a 3 month CD is probably best
mutual funds are for long term investing, more like a minimum of 3 years not 3 months
you need the money in 3 months i wouldnt put it in a mutual fund at all, unless its a money market fund, if something happens to the market and there is a short term dip you could lose money because you cant wait it out
I would like to keep the funds in floaters.
I would not invest in mutual funds. I would buy a 3 month CD.
You best bet is look for a CD or money market. Mutual funds loose money just like stock.
three months in a fund is NOT a good idea first of all any gains will be taxed at a high rate plus three months generally isnt good strategy anyway.
I would look into online banking (ing direct, emigrant bank hsbc etc..)rather than CD’s or whatnot.
short term investment is not good in mutual funds. some times you lost your money
