Even though the impending General Elections are dominating all analysis of the markets and investments, the basics of investment remain just as important. The cover story of our new Mutual Fund Insight is about Asset Allocation and Rebalancing, the two basic principles that cannot be avoided by any investor.
If you want to combine safety with returns, then you must not ignore these. It's not enough to simply choose good mutual funds. Investors should also practice these simple, elementary techniques and realise the huge benefits that they bring.
Our cover story explains what asset allocation and rebalancing are, what is their logic and how you can practice them very easily.
Apart from this very practical and useful cover story, the issue has all the regular features that readers wait for:
