ETF vs Mutual Funds



ETF vs Mutual Funds



Nowadays, Mutual Funds are the favorite one among most of the people. Bank Interest rates are ticking down and the India Inflation rate also around 3 - 4 %. Many of us, keen to invest in mutual funds with a simple knowledge or as plain (Not known). Last week, one of the reader requested an answer in Quora.com , Is it the time to invest in mutual funds and how the mutual funds differ from ETF (Exchange Traded Fund). I had posted my answer on reply. So, that's why i am looking here to share the related information in my blog about ETF and mutual funds.

Generally, Mutual funds categorized as Two:


  • Debt Funds
  • Equity Funds


Debt funds are good, if you are looking like as a Bank FD (Fixed Deposit) or RD (Recurring). It gives a solid returns more than the Bank deposits. Indexation Benefit also available on LTCG (Long term Capital Gains), if you hold more than 3 years.

Similarly, Equity funds have a LTCG benefit, if you hold on your investment more than one year. Recently, BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) is making a case for reinstating of long term capital gains on equity investments. (See here:  Remove long-term capital gains tax exemption: BSE )
Popularly, Equity funds are very helpful for the long term and gives a better return, stick with your financial goals.

However apart from mutual funds, ETF is also a fashionable word for the new comers on investing. ETF is nothing but, an exchange traded fund is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, much like stocks. An ETF holds assets such as stocks, commodities, or bonds and generally operates with an arbitrage mechanism. ETF are also based on market index (Sensex, Nifty), Sector wise, Gold etf, and few more.


ETF vs Mutual Funds - How it differ ?


You should understand this,
  • Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) will trade throughout the day (Trading) like shares, but mutual funds trade only at the end of the day at its NAV (Net asset value).
  • ETF have a charge of trading or broking commision, while buy or sell. on the other hand, mutual fund comes with the charge of Expense ratio on your investment.
  • Most ETFs track to a particular index and therefore have lower operating expense than actively invested mutual funds.

Set your own Budget Planning



Set your own Budget Planning


Hi, welcome to - "How is my Budget Planning today ? "


We all have a Budget or may not :)  But, we have an expense and less over savings or investing. We often like to watch the Government's Union Budget and finding the pros and cons for ourselves. If someone asking you, what's your budget planning today ? Then, it seems a different for us, even we ask ourselves. How many of us have a personal budget planning today ?

A Question with triumph !

Of course, most of us don't have the plan to initiate for the Personal opinion, on Budget Planning and also we haven't experience that on results. We are always discussing or gossiping about the Government's fiscal deficit and how we can see our self debt on finance ? Self Financial analysis also an important one and it should be primary than any other, to make Financial planning and be Financially free.


Why i need Budget Planning ?


  • Track our Daily Income / Expense.
  • Track our Needs and Wants.
  • Plan for the Emergency required and unexpected one.
  • Prepare for our personal Financial Goals and Retirement savings.
  • Financially, we can grade our values.


How to set your own Budget Planning:

  • Buy a new Note book (or) download the Expense manager app or related one.
  • Input your daily income, expenses and savings.
  • Track you monthly reports on Income, Savings and Expenses.
  • Do it regularly - After completion of 3 months, you have a PQFR (Personal Quarterly Financial Report).
  • Now, you can have an idea on your PQFR that,  what is your income, where your money spending and how is your savings or investing.
  • You can do the same PQFR analysis for Half yearly, Annually.

Post Analysis:


On our Personal Quarterly Financial Report (PQFR), we can make or set our own budget planning like how much money need for the monthly fixed expenses, and how can we increase our savings, what is the opportunity lies for our secondary income.

Use, the Super Budget 50:30:20
  • 50 % Needs of our total monthly income
  • 30 % Wants...
  • 20 % Savings / Investment...


Let's ready for your own Budget setup :)
