Abstract:
When we talk about mutual funds, putting all our eggs in a single basket is
never a wise decision. This is due to the market volatility and the risks
involved in it. But one can minimize risk by distributing his investments
among various financial instruments, industries and many more options. Here
the intent is to maximize returns by investing in diversified areas, where each
would react differently to the same event. This not only buffers the impact of
a market downturn, but also allows for more potential rewards by offering a
broader exposure to various stocks and sectors. A mutual fund is a pool of
money from various investors who wish to save or make money. Investing in
a mutual fund can be easier than buying and selling individual stocks and
bonds on our own. Investors can sell their shares when they want. The main
objective of this paper is to analyze the financial performance of State Bank
of India (SBI) mutual funds.
