Frequently Asked Questions
Examine the fund’s 5-year returns, portfolio composition, and sector exposure. Understand the associated risks, including market volatility and credit risk. Evaluate if the fund manager has successfully handled such high-risk investments in the past.
These funds offer a chance to maximize returns by targeting sectors or companies with high growth potential. They are designed for those seeking aggressive wealth creation over the long term and can handle market fluctuations.
The primary advantage is the potential for extraordinary returns. By taking calculated risks, these funds aim to outperform traditional investments, tapping into opportunities in emerging markets, startups, or volatile sectors.
These funds are highly sensitive to market conditions and can experience sharp losses. Economic changes, sector-specific challenges, or poor portfolio performance can significantly impact returns, making them unpredictable in the short term.
These funds are suitable for seasoned investors with a high-risk appetite who can tolerate short-term volatility. They are ideal for individuals aiming for long-term goals and willing to accept the uncertainties associated with aggressive investing.
Explore Dhan to locate funds known for considerable risk and substantial potential returns. Check their performance track record and portfolio content. You may start a SIP for gradual allocation or opt for a lump sum if you have a large sum to invest.
