Selecting the right trade for the right stock at the right time is the most important aspect of successful investing and so today we will discuss the selection of mutual funds. Selection of Mutual funds is divided into 4 steps.
1. The first and the most important aspect of selection is you should not only know but understand the types of mutual funds available at your disposal.
