Mutual Fund (MF) Research involves analysing different Mutual Fund Schemes of various AMCs (Asset Management Companies). An MF Analyst looks at various parameters while analysing a scheme like fund objective, asset allocation, fund’s past performance compared to respective benchmarks and other funds in the same category, fund manager’s performance in this and previous funds he has managed, expense ratio and statistical parameters like Standard Deviation and Sharpe Ratio amongst a host of other factors. Based on these parameters, recommendations are given in every fund category. Investments in Mutual Funds can be made both from a long term as well as a short term perspective.
