2. Mary asks…
How seriously should we take ratings of mutual funds given by
various websites?
While planning for investment in mutual funds, I often look what return and risk category the
fund falls into as stated by various websites. I also see what "star" category the fund falls into. Is
this method correct? Do all the websites evaluate funds in the same way?
In some cases I find many funds are of five star category but some are rated as superior/elite
etc and others are not rated at all. Why is it so? Also, when I find any fund I have invested, gets
poorer category class, is it time to stop investing in that fund and switch over to some better
one? Or should I wait to see its performance for a little while? after all behavior of equity funds
are to be judged over long time interval.
Steve Winston answers:
I also used star rating of icicidirect and money control as ref. For investment.
I also checked their top holdings.
I checked their past performance for more than five years in SIP and also in point to point
investment.
I also checked fund manager's profile. Fund house is also important.
I believe in investing through SIP only with more than five years investment horizon.
There are some other methods to evaluate funds but that is beyond my scope of knowledge
