Understanding Mutual Fund Performance
Compare the performance of your mutual fund scheme with other schemes in the same segment to determine relative underperformance
Analyzing Performance
Understand that various factors, such as market fluctuations, can cause a decline in the net asset value (NAV) of your fund
Reasons for Decline
Negative performance should persist for at least two consecutive years before considering a change in the scheme
Timeframe of Underperformance
Investigate if there has been a change in the fund manager
If there have been no changes, check if the fund manager has communicated the reasons
Identifying the Cause
Consider that poor returns may be temporary due to the investment policy of the scheme, such as value-based approaches
Investment Policy Impact
Evaluate all factors, including positive and negative situations faced by schemes, before deciding to withdraw your investment
