When you want to invest in a mutual fund or ELSS, you may be confused about which fund is best for investment?
Because there are too many fund houses and too many mutual fund and ELSS schemes, so a small investor easily confuses in fund selection.
What is the difference between the mutual fund and ELSS?:- Before we continue, first of all, I want to tell you the difference between mutual fund and ELSS.
I think knowledge of this difference is necessary for new investors. When you invest in a mutual fund, you do not get any income tax benefits. ELSS is also a mutual fund, but investments in ELSS units are eligible for section 80 C income tax rebate.
So if you want to invest for section 80C rebate, then you need to select ELSS. Otherwise, an open-ended mutual fund is the right selection for you.
Best Criteria For Mutual Fund / ELSS Selection:-
As I described earlier, AUM means Asset Under Management is the best criterion to choose a mutual fund, new readers, please visit this link to find out why I say " Size of AUM is best criteria to choose a mutual fund."
Because if you invest in the most significant AUM funds, then the fund manager has more flexibility, and your units participate in the most extensive sized portfolio.
