Best Answer

By investing in a mutual fund you can diversify your investment which means that you can buy a variety of assets without paying a huge amount of money. Diversifying helps reducing the risk of your investment and at the same time enables you to cover a broad range of investments. Although there are many advantages of mutual funds it is important to keep costs as low as possible because most fund managers fail to perform better than the market and additional costs cut the average return of 8-10% by 1 or even 2 percentage points. Most importantly MFs are managed by professional fund managers whose choice of buy/sell call would be better than ours (In most probabilities) Because the fund is managed by professionals with experience we can expect the money to make good returns (Provided you choose a reputed fund house with a successful fund manager)
