Mutual Fund pools money from many investors and invest it in shares. Investors need to do research before investing in a share. Many investors find it difficult to do research so they prefer Mutual Fund route. Mutual fund takes responsibilty of investing in stocks after due analysis and research.

A Mutual Fund ELSS is similar to diversified equity funds. That means the fund manager can invest in shares of various companies across various industries. The difference is ELSS has got the added tax benefit, something a diversified equity fund does not offer https://holisticinvestment.in/mutual-fund-elss Regards Ramalingam K, MBA, CFP, Director and Chief Financial Planner, Holistic Investment Planners “Best Performing Financial Advisor Award” Winners from CNBC TV18 www.holisticinvestment.in
