This is a common question that arises in the mind of most investors. The goal behind investing in mutual funds is primarily done by many people to ensure that they are at peace when they decide to retire and have reasonably good returns to ensure financial stability when they make this important move in their financial journey.

Though all investors are concerned about this issue, what they do not realize is that whether their retirement goals will be met or not depends entirely on the choice that they make during the investment period. Investing in mutual funds has become easier than ever before and there are various plans to choose from, depending on your convenience and requirements.

Plan your investment:

First and foremost, it is important that we make a decision only after completely understanding all the scheme related queries and reading all relevant documents. HDFC MF understands that it is not always possible for clients to go through the entire plan and understand all the points mentioned in the scheme. Therefore, there are mutual fund advisors available for the same.

Investors must seek assistance from trained professionals before they invest in a scheme. There are different types of profiles. It is important to choose what category you fit into. Some investors may plan to invest in plans such as SIPs (systematic investment plans) that is a form of long term return plan which requires you to make investments periodically for the amount and time chosen by you, till a given time period.

Other investors may choose to invest in a plan that will give reasonably high returns in a short span of time. Thus, the time period to wait for returns, the amount of investment money, the periodical investment which you want to make, the risks you are willing to take, etc. all are factors that will determine your income returns.

The common factor:

In all the above-mentioned cases and different types of investors, one factor remains common. That factor is the analysis of the market scenario after a set period of time in which you plan to withdraw your earnings. This factor can never be overlooked. No matter what type of plan you choose to invest in, it is important that you analyze the market scenario and the risks involved and make a calculated move. This may seem like a daunting task to be done all by yourself, and you might not completely understand all the terms and conditions involved and the rise and fall of the market prices. This is when it is practical to seek to advise from professionals. HDFC mf investment plans offer you the liberty to choose from a variety of plans based on what could possibly give you the highest returns, with all the information provided to you beforehand.

You can be at peace that your funds are being managed by a Fund’s manager whose job is to ensure that he/she makes all the decisions based on your requirements for returns.

Conclusion:

It is important to analyze your profile/portfolio with the help of a trained professional who can advise you to make a move based on the portfolio rather than a random choice of investment which just seems profitable. This will lower risks and ensure high returns that will go a long way towards fulfilling your retirement goals.
