Mutual Funds
What are sector specific funds/schemes?
Sectoral Funds are the funds/schemes which invest in the securities of only those sectors or industries as specified in the offer documents. e.g . Pharmaceuticals, Software, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), Petroleum stocks, etc. The returns in these funds are dependent on the performance of the respective sectors/industries. While these funds may give higher returns, they are more risky compared to diversified funds. Investors need to keep a watch on the performance of those sectors/industries and must exit at an appropriate time. They may also seek advice of an expert.
