Why to Invest in Sector Mutual Funds?
A sector fund is a type of Mutual Fund that invests in securities of specific sectors of the economy, such as banking, telecom, FMCG, pharmaceutical, Information Technology (IT), and infrastructure. In other words, sector funds narrow down your invested wealth only to the specific industry or sector. For instance, a banking sector fund can invest in banks and a pharma fund can invest only in stocks of pharma companies. The fund managers of these funds invest money into shares of companies which are doing well in the market. The overall objective of such investment is to invest in those sectors which have a high growth potential in the near future.
These fund can really end up making a huge profit, if the timing of investment is accurate. One should know when to enter and exit the fund. Investors should invest in areas of the market where they are confident about or see growth in the future. The main idea is to tap-in on the growth of a particular industry and sector. The other advantage of sector funds is its ability to protect you from individual firm-specific risk. Rather than buying individual stocks, investing in sector funds would ensure that a company’s bad performance wouldn’t affect your portfolio.
But, before you invest in a sector mutual fund, you should be confident on why you believe that sector is likely to perform well in the near future.

Smart Tips to Consider While Investing in Best Sector Mutual Funds
Here are some of the things that you need to know before investing in sector funds:
1. Mutual Fund Objective
One should always understand the objective of the Mutual Fund scheme appropriately. For example, some sector mutual funds invest only up to 65 percent of the portfolio in the stated sector. This can dilute your exposure to a sector and shall not provide the yield as expected by you.
2. Timing the Market
As they say, to grow wealth in the stock market, “Time in the market is more important than timing the market.” But, when it comes to making money in the sector mutual funds, one needs to learn to time the market, especially, in the cyclical sectors like cement, bank, steel, etc. For instance, banking stocks tend to perform well when the interest rates are low or are expected to fall. And they underperform when the interest rates are rising. So, in order to gain good returns in a banking fund, one needs to be at the right turn of the interest rate cycle.
Ideally, an investor should take the SIP route to build an exposure to such funds, but one must close the SIPs and exit position in the sector mutual funds when the sector fundamentals begin to fade or sink.
Unlike Diversified Funds, sector mutual funds are less diversified, thus the exposure of risk is comparatively high. The disadvantage around sector funds is the higher rate of volatility. This is due to its nature of the investment. An investor would gain excessive returns when the market is moving in an upward direction and would suffer a tremendous loss when the market of that particular sector is deteriorating.
3. Know when to Exit
Compared to diversified mutual funds, a sector mutual fund should not be held in the portfolio for a very long time. Ideally, when a sector is expected to do well, one must buy such a fund and exit the fund when it starts going out of the favor. As these funds are mostly cyclical, their tenure is generally 3-5 years. Thus, investors should spend some good amount of time to know when to exit such funds.
4. Limited Exposure
Investors investing in sector funds should understand that the fund manager is restricted in his investment options and will have to continue investing in a particular sector even if that sector is not performing well in the market. Whereas, in equity diversified funds, a fund manager is not bound to any such restriction.

Conclusion
Sector funds expose your portfolio to concentrated risk, in fact, it can incur you a huge loss, if you don’t keep yourself abreast of business cycles. On the other hand, if you are well-versed with the sector fundamentals and have the capability to assess the volatility that is bound with such funds, you can make a good profit. However, always be very careful when investing in sector funds and invest only a limited portion of capital!
