Are Mutual Funds DIY

You’ve probably noticed on social media or in general that people nowadays want to try everything, which isn’t entirely wrong; I mean, look at us exploring our exemplary hidden talents. What surprises me, though, is some people suggest mutual fund schemes as if they were certified financial experts. The amusing part is how even the audience falls for such ideas, but then again, who doesn’t like easy earning? Right?

Hey, hey! Don’t let such beliefs fool you. You might not believe it, but I have witnessed friends go into debt due to reckless investing. Oh God, it was a terrible time for them. But what I’m trying to put up is you can’t do everything alone. Some things demand professional guidance—mutual funds are one of them.

Now, you must be wondering, “Why? Just because it happened with your friends doesn’t mean it will happen to everybody.” In that case, read further, as I, Janhvi Dhuria, will help you figure out why you need professional advice while investing in mutual funds.

Why Do You Need Professional Advice

Before we start, I need you all to answer one thing: when you fall ill, do you consult a doctor or consider using medicines recommended by others? You consult a doctor, right? Well, I hope you do! Apparently, you cannot become a doctor overnight, and recommended medicines can potentially worsen your health condition. I don’t want you to be sick when you have so much left to enjoy in life just because you took whatever medicines people suggested to you. 

I am sure you wouldn’t want that either. Who likes being sick or broke?

The idea is that sometimes relying on professionals is the best gift you can give yourself. How can you make investment decisions by listening to other people’s investment decisions and gaining online knowledge? Hiring a financial expert is suggestible than relying on CNBC, but if you are following the other ways, I feel sorry for you because you are on the path of draining your finances. 

Mutual Funds is Not a DIY Product

I am going to ask you another question. I know, I know! Janhvi is a question bank, but how good are you at learning things? I am just intrigued. Will you be able to comprehend the financial market within a day or a week? 

If you somehow managed to say, “Yes,” tell me how.

How can you manage your investments when the value of financial products is constantly changing without knowing the market and the asset classes? Will you set aside your work life just to learn about financial markets? I can sense many of you nodding your heads in disagreement. You wouldn’t unless you are unsure about your professional skills, right?. However, think again if you plan to do both, as mutual funds are not a DIY product. 

Investing in mutual funds is for everybody; however, managing finances and systematically investing in mutual funds is not for everybody. You will require professional assistance to make financial decisions; otherwise, you are more likely to ruin your hard-earned money.

Stay Ahead Without the Stress

To those who have said, “Yes, I can balance my work life and still manage my mutual fund investments,” I will have to ask you one last question- though I am not promising it’s my last question.

You all are so engrossed in your lives that you don’t get time for your loved ones; how will you manage your mutual fund portfolios? Do you think you have the time to monitor your investments every day? Because a financial expert does that.

Yup, when you hire a certified and experienced financial expert, you don’t have to worry about the rising or falling markets, as he monitors your investments and informs you about underperforming schemes, ensuring your portfolio and financial objectives are in tandem. So, you can enjoy your life without stressing over your finances.

Explore Prior Financial Objectives

Picture having only 200 rupees in your pocket. You’re feeling hungry, yet there’s also a compelling desire to buy a book. What will you do? Ideally, you will purchase something to eat and save the remaining money for the future, right? But if you have ample money, making crucial financial decisions becomes daunting. You might overutilise or underutilise your money, as humans have multiple financial goals, like planning for retirement or purchasing a car or house. Thus, deciding which one to accomplish first and how to plan for it might be daunting, but it’s easy for a financial expert. A financial expert helps you to comprehend your income, expenses, savings, and investments and maps out a plan to accomplish your prior financial goals while advancing your money.

What Does a Financial Expert Do?

Asking what a financial expert does is like questioning why we visit the hospital during emergencies. Don’t worry; I will still break this down for you. 

Imagine this- your father left you abundant money in his will. What will you do? Even if you have expenses, you won’t be able to use the entire amount. You can invest in bank FDs. However, the only drawback with a bank FD is that it offers a defined interest rate. So, how will you utilise that money, or are you planning to advance it with your hidden talent? I hope not; let it remain hidden.

Kidding, kidding!

But seriously, what will be your first instinct?

Most people don’t know the answer, but a financial expert does. Yup, a financial expert will help you comprehend your income, expenses, and savings and map out a strategy to attain financial success. Consequently, a financial expert assists you in maximising your already-earned money.

On a Parting Note

I hope now you know that managing mutual funds demands expertise beyond trend following. So, don’t let the Instagram posts fool you and decide to do everything on your own, as there are some things you cannot do without professional assistance, and mutual funds are one of them. A certified financial expert tailors strategies to align your investments with your goals and helps you make informed investment decisions, ensuring wealth advancement. Therefore, let the financial expert help you make investment plans while you sit and relish the benefits of wealth advancement.
