A mutual fund pools money from several investors to invest in stock market, government / private sector bonds and other asset classes. Investment decisions in these mutual funds are taken by financial market experts, called fund managers, whose job is to get the best returns for the funds collected. Mutual funds, like stocks, have a value attached to them. They are bought and sold in units. Just like you buy Rs. 1,000 worth of shares of a company, you can buy Rs. 1,000 worth of units of a particular mutual fund scheme. The value of a unit changes everyday and it is called NAV - Net Asset Value. There are more than 6,000+ mutual fund schemes in India and are regulated by Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) of India.

Mahaveer Finserv.in's algorithm first applies threshold of fund vintage and AUM to determine which funds are worth investing. Funds are then selected on the basis of rigorous analysis of historical data using parameters such as historical returns, volatility and correlation between funds. Fund selection and portfolio allocation by Mahaveer Finserv.in is based on CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) algorithm proposed by Nobel prize winning economists Markowitz, Sharpe and Miller. You have an option to invest your money in more than one fund. This technique of investing in more than one fund is called diversification and is used to minimise risk. So if one particular mutual fund isn't doing well, there is another one to the rescue. All funds underperforming together still may happen if the Indian economy is in a bad state. For example, what happened to the US economy during the financial crisis of 2008.
