What is Mutual Fund ?
Mutual funds are pooled investments managed by professional money managers. They trade on exchanges and provide investors with access to a wide mix of assets selected for the fund. A professional fund manager handles this mix of investments, and the fund's assets and goals are detailed in the prospectus.
For those who deposit into their mutual funds from their paychecks, they offer automatic investing and lower investment risk than buying stocks on your own because most funds have diverse holdings.​

Since the universe of mutual funds is vast with hundreds of funds out there, investors can use the new riskometer provided by SEBI, to choose schemes which are in sync with their risk appetite. This meter is especially useful to investors who are new to the world of mutual funds and is not clear about the scheme matching their RISK PROFILE.However, it is essential to note that the riskometer can give an overall idea of the risk level, there are many other factors involved that should be considered while selecting a fund and a riskometer should not be the sole indicator.
