Make the most of your investments; check their progress
Chapter 7 • 08-Dec-2021
Post investing in mutual funds, it is also important to track them. Periodic tracking of once or twice a year helps you understand how they are performing. It also helps to figure out if you need to switch your investments. While a few periods of underperformance are justifiable, if your fund cannot beat the majority of its peers or its benchmark consistently, you need to switch. Thus as an investor, your duty doesn't end with investing. You have to ensure that your investment is working in the desired manner.
How to track your mutual fund investments
After some time, you might start to lose the sense of various investments made by you. At this point, a place where you can find details of all your mutual fund investments together is definitely of great help. Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) fulfils this purpose.
What is a CAS?
A Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) is a single account statement that reflects all transactions of a unit-holder across all mutual funds schemes. You can request a mail-back of your CAS from the website of the RTAs such as CAMS and KFintech (firms that help asset management companies with record maintenance).
