The best way to spot a good fund by yourself is by looking at both its qualitative and quantitative measures-
Investors should do a fair assessment of the funds’ performances for over a period of time. It is suggested to go choose a fund that consistently beats its benchmark for over 4-5 years.
AUM is the Asset Under Management. One should always go for a fund that is neither too big nor too small in size. While there is no perfect definition and relation between the size of the fund, it is said that both too small and too large, can hinder a fund’s performance.
It is advisable to go for a fund manager who has been consistent over his career. As, a fund manager is responsible for making investment decisions for the fund’s portfolio, it becomes important to consider a fund managed by an experienced fund manager.
It is important to always look at the quality & reputation of the fund house. A fund house with a strong-consistent track record, start funds/good performing funds, etc., is the one to invest in.
