A lot of people believe that investing in Mutual Funds and ETFs is a less risky option compared to investing in stock market. How true is this belief? Proponents of Mutual Funds and ETFs say, since your money is managed by experts, and you do not have to bother with doing research on profitable assets, Mutual Funds and ETFs are safe. However, the major problem I see here is you cannot start with a small amount. You need comparatively big amount. This creates an entry barrier for those looking to explore investment opportunities without exposing themselves to high risks assets like stocks.
