As per Harry Markowitz - The father of Modern Portfolio theory, diversification is the only "free lunch" in finance world. This notion that you’d get something for nothing is nearly unheard of in economics. The key concept behind the “free lunch” is correlation—or rather, a lack of it. Typically, the performance of individual asset classes isn’t perfectly correlated. If asset values do not move up and down in perfect harmony, then a diversified portfolio will have less risk. It protects the portfolio against unexpected or unpredictable events. Diversification is spreading one’s investments to protect against unexpected/ unpredictable events.

"Mutual fund sahi hai" is true only if you select the right one :) Many investment advisers will argue that mutual fund selection is an art. We, however, believe that it is more of a science. With our many years of investment experience, we have tried to master the science of mutual fund selection process for our customers. We use sophisticated analytical tools like Morningstar Research Workbench and FE Analytics for our analysis. The process is repeated every quarter or if there is a trigger to re-evaluate (whichever is earlier). This article is our endeavor to explain the mutual fund selection process at FinAtoZ in detail.
