Several questions rest in a potential investor’s mind regarding the ideal amount to invest. People consider Mutual Funds as just another investment avenue. Is it really the case? Is a Mutual Fund just another investment avenue like a fixed deposit, debenture or shares of companies?
A Mutual Fund is not an investment avenue, but a vehicle to access various investment avenues.
Think of it this way. When you go to a restaurant, you have a choice to order a la carte or buffet/thali or a full meal.
Compare the full thali or the meal with a Mutual Fund, whereas individual items you order are the stocks, bonds, etc. A thali makes the choice easy, saves time and also some money.
The important thing is to start investment early, even if small.
