Mutual Funds – A Solution For Every Financial Need

In the past few months, I happened to spend considerable time with friends and relatives, and the usual questions around where to invest and if they should continue investing, given the volatility in markets. Although they come from different backgrounds, the crux of their concerns was similar, which set me thinking about why such questions arose so frequently. It made me start looking into the behavior of some of them and I figured they were very clear about most aspects of finances, but most people fail to put a clear outcome from their investments. It is perhaps this lack of clarity which makes them invest in guaranteed return products where the outcomes are stated upfront.
