  • Risks and asset allocation: Always remember that returns and risks are related. While some assets have higher risks, some have lower risks.

The fund-rating methodology at Value Research

  • Rating process of Value Research: Our rating system helps measure both risk and returns. A purely quantitative model, it does not have any subjective component. Also, this assessment does not shed light on a fund's future potential. Consider our rating system as a summary of a fund's historical performance as compared to its peers.

  • Assessment: When it comes to hybrid and equity funds, we combine the fund ratings for two different periods (three and five years mainly) to provide a single assessment of its risk rating as against other funds in every fund category. For debt funds, we provide ratings on the basis of their 18-month weekly risk-adjusted performance as compared to peers.

  • Fund risk grade at Value Research: Our fund risk grade intends to capture a fund's risk of loss. We express a fund's relative performance as a risk score. Here is a glimpse of a fund's risk score.

Mutual funds: Frequently Asked Questions

The NAV of a mutual fund stands for Net Asset Value. A mutual fund scheme's NAV per unit signifies its performance. It is calculated by dividing the complete value of all securities and cash in a mutual fund's portfolio, without any liabilities, with the number of outstanding shares.

Mutual funds pool money from investors. Based on their share of investments in the pooled assets, investors are given units. Then, the pooled money is invested in different types of assets by fund managers. The intent of the fund manager is to maximise returns for investors. Unitholders or investors receive gains or losses generated by the fund based on their investment proportions.

The risk-return profiles of funds vary. So, you must select a fund on the basis of your risk appetite and investment time horizon. In other words, you need to strike a balance between your risk-taking capabilities and the risk aspect of the fund you are going to invest in. Generally, for short-term goals, which are less than three years away, investing in debt funds is suggested. On the other hand, equity funds are suggested if your goals are at least five years away.

You need to pay tax on your gains while withdrawing your investments. Gains from both debt and equity funds are subject to tax. Based on the holding period, all mutual fund gains are categorised as long-term capital gains (LTCG) and short-term capital gains (STCG). For debt funds, gains sold after three years of investments are classified as LTCG and gains sold after one year are classified as STCG.
