      CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION

      Investing your money to gain is not bad however most of the retail investors try to play the stock market game all by themselves. They sometimes do not realize that it is not easy to master the art and the science of picking stocks at the correct price and more importantly, exiting at the correct price.

      Leave it to the professionals to do the work for you. Mutual funds provide you such an opportunity whereby you do not have to do the stock picking yourselves. You do not have to track the stocks on a daily basis. These mutual funds have professionals who manage the money for you. This helps as they understand the stock market better and have better tools at their disposal to analyze the stocks.

      This book presents an approach to getting started with investing in mutual funds.

      Over the years, I have found that mutual funds have given me good returns and also I am happy that professionals are taking care of my investments. That is not to say that I have not invested in shares myself, I do that occasionally for thrill of it however majority of my portfolio is invested via the mutual funds.

      Happy Investing !
