Is it necessary to review your Investment Portfolio on certain interval?

 

Importance of Investment Portfolio review

While investing in any mutual fund scheme for any specific goal, we always assume some rate of return from the investment. Actual rate of return vary time to time from assume return, so it becomes very important to check whether we are getting the calculated rate of return or not. Also should also check how various asset class and schemes are performing in your portfolio. As per my suggestion one should review their portfolio on periodic bases. Review your portfolio once a year.

Reviewing your portfolio don’t means frequent buying and selling based on performance. The return we assume in our investment is for the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) return. Always calculate your return on entire period of investment and need not to be equal to assumed CAGR every year.

How to review your mutual fund schemes:

Every investor can review the performance of their mutual fund scheme and compare it with the performance of benchmark. You can also compare your scheme with peer group performance. Performance of good scheme can also lag in some times, so don’t give too much weight to short term performance while doing the review of the portfolio. Rather than short term performance, always try to consider long term return and consistency in performance.

Apart from return you also need to compare your portfolio on other parameters like quality of portfolio, risk and risk adjusted return while reviewing the investment scheme. And if you feel that your scheme is not doing well and underperforms on all the above parameters exit from that scheme and invest in some other scheme. But, always remember reviewing portfolio doesn’t means buying and selling every time while you review. Your decision of exiting from ongoing investment scheme should not be based on short term underperformance noticed during review. Adapt holistic approach of reviewing the scheme. Look and consider other important parameters also rather short term return.

Once you know where you are going and what you have to do by setting appropriate investment objectives, your portfolio review will help you reach your destination. You will definitely reach your investment goal by identifying problems and mistakes that you can correct midcourse. Just like a Pilot your job is to stay on course so that you can reach your destination safely and on set time period.
