What is better for small investor matual fund or equity share?

For a small invetor its better to buy a mid cap equity share.....
and that's more risky as compared to investing in mutual fund.

The higher the risk the highre the profits....and since as of now most of the shares are at pea nuts price so better to invest in mid cap equity shares.....

what is an equity share?

Come to think of it... what is a matual fund?

Mutual fund definately.

according to me mutual fund is better option for small investor because in MF there are qualified fund manager who will take acre of your money with their technical expertise and its depend upon investor choice that what is its nature. if he is risk averse then moderate(gilt edged fund) fund is better and if he is risk taking nature then growth fund is better.

always Mutual funds as individually you are not well equipped with the expertise of market dynamics.you are not aware what is the right time to get in or get out hence invest in market through Mutual Funds who have the research mechanism,and has information on each sector and company they know right time to invest and disinvest.with mutual fund your risk also is reduced.they regularly attend analyst meet convened by various company's.

Mutual Fund

mutual funds low returns low risk
equity high returns high risk
but in a long term angle u can minimize the risk in equity so be prepared select the company
invest in equity wait and book profit

If you are not a regular trader, and do not have the appetite for high risks, go for Mutual Funds.

Mutual funds are the best options - If u are still risk averse, then u should go for balanced mutual funds wherein exposure to the equities will be reduced
