Mutual funds investing in shares listed on BSE already have two digit growth this year

Risky mutual funds, the alternative to the stock exchange market, are having a good and profitable period. Risky means they are investing in asset like stocks listed on a market or some other instruments that are alike.

In the last few years with the stock market on the rise the open investment funds with high risk were favored in evolution. Posting two-digits return over the year the funds attracted more investors due to the fact that monetary and bond funds are offering less earnings because the interest rates are low.

It is possible in the future to see a new change of this order, meaning a rise in interest rates for bonds and for bank deposits, while the stock market may stagnate or even go down. This is what usually happens in economic cycles and today we are in a moment in time considered closer to a standstill in economy if not a recession. But nobody can predict that with too much accuracy so we should look at what we have.

In the first four months of the year, interest rates for banks are giving close to nothing to those who keep their savings in long term deposits and bonds yield are under one percent. So the profit for those who look for better returns in short term can be found in diversified assets funds and the more adventurous stock exchange funds.

We looked over the performance of the open investment funds with assets in the highest class of risk. It is important to check the evolution of the funds; even if there is no guarantee for future profit, a constant positive evolution shows good management. Also, counted only open investment funds that have a ”risky” tag.
