Professional Management
Mutual Funds provide the services of experienced and skilled professionals, backed by a dedicated investment research team that analyses the performance and prospects of companies and selects suitable investments to achieve the objectives of the scheme.
2. Diversification
Mutual Funds invest in a number of companies across a broad cross-section of industries and sectors. This diversification reduces the risk because seldom do all stocks decline at the same time and in the same proportion. You achieve this diversification through a Mutual Fund with far less money than you can do on your own.
3. Convenient Administration
Investing in a Mutual Fund reduces paperwork and helps you avoid many problems such as bad deliveries, delayed payments and follow up with brokers and companies. Mutual Funds save your time and make investing easy and convenient.

Over a medium to long-term, Mutual Funds have the potential to provide a higher return as they invest in a diversified basket of selected securities.

Enter the 1950’s, women are confined to their kitchens and mocked by advertisements that tell them to buy a toaster, in a very discriminatory way, of course. How has this changed? Well, nowadays, women are able to do things that they weren’t able to do before. If you want to be a single mother who owns her own house and works in a dive-bar, guess what? You can.

Through the weekly courses, lectures and readings, I have learnt a lot about social determinants of health and achieving health equity and how they affects quality of life. Social determinants of health is defined as “the conditions in which people are born, grown, live, work and age, including the health system’’. Their lifestyle and conditions in which they live, work and play strongly influence their health. A basic principle of public health is that all people have a right to get health i.e. Health equity. Health inequity includes social factors, which includes education, employment status, income level, gender and ethnicity as these factors have marked an influence on how healthy a person is (World Health Organization, 2011). Every day 21000 children die before their fifth birthday.
An investment also known as a security is a pledge of money from an individual, government, or cooperation that is expected to accrue additional wealth on top of its original dollar amount. An investment can be a long-term or short-term obligation depending on the investor’s goals and/or assets they choose to invest in. The investment decision process is a two-step process which is necessary to make a sound trustable and efficient investment. The first step involves an evaluation of the investment you as the investor are interested in committing money towards, including characteristics of the security (i.e. how it acts in the current market, how the current/future market may react to this investment and possible returns on your investment). Finally, the management of your investment portfolio, including how often it should be revised, how the performance of your securities should be measured (how often they should be measured), and other important aspects of your current investments. Investing revolves around one basic concept, improving our future, investors invest money today to improve their welfare in the future which is why understanding what an investment is and the process of decision making before investing is extremely important.
