why MF grow slow? bcoz unlike the stock...the value of stock increase due to the value of the company...
where MF/UT bussiness is to help you to manage you fund...their value is not based on their company value....
but is based on the investment that they have invest. They collect all the money they can get(from customer)...and start to invest in many area...
others stock...other ppl bussiness....
Or you can say stocks are managed by you and to whatever companies you want but mutual fund is managed by the bank to a specific group of companies they want to invest to.
Basically, the bank is doing what you guys called division of risks (discussed earlier) by investing the money to several different companies. So, if you invest in the Mutual, the bank will do it on behalf of you.
Am I right?
I think Mutual Fund has the same risk with stock because it's status is based on stock exchange too. The only difference is the maintainance, if you are expert enough to do analysis on stock market and invest on your own, you do not need to invest on Mutual, however, like newbie and people who are not pro, investing on Mutual Fund is safer because the bank will help you to decide which to invest to.
i think it's still same game but different ways to play it.
