When it comes to a mutual fund, the ideal way to identify and select the right mutual fund scheme is by assessing your risk capacity, investment horizon and understanding your risk tolerance. You can invest in the fund of your choice first time by visiting your nearest Mutual Fund branch office or through an Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) registered Mutual Fund distributor.

You first need to complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) process which involves providing certain basic documentation including the PAN card, address proof and a coloured photograph or any additional documents as may be specified by the fund house. KYC process can also include in-person verification. After completion of KYC formalities, you can invest in physical mode the same day in the branch by filling our investment application form and issuing a cheque from your bank account.

Alternatively, you could also apply online and follow the instructions provided on the website of the fund house, fill in the necessary information, make an online payment and submit it. Some fund houses also offer video KYC option where you can complete your KYC process online. After your KYC process is done, furnish your email address to generate a username and password before you can start investing online in mutual fund of your choice.

Once your KYC verification process is done, you are now eligible to invest in any mutual fund scheme of your choice.

While the above process may vary slightly across fund houses, the above should broadly get you well on your way to financial health. One last thing to keep in mind is that your mutual fund investment should depend upon your financial goals or needs, investment horizon as well as risk appetite. Do ensure you make a well-informed decision before investing.
