In mutual funds, diversification is very necessary. You must invest in various types of mutual funds and they must be from different Asset Management Companies.

There are so many mutual funds that are maintained by banks and financial companies. You can fill up the form and pay for the number of units that you want to buy to invest in the mutual fund or you can directly contact to the bank you are having account with and same applies to the brokerage house as well.

Step1- Identify your investment needs:
Step 2-Choose the right mutual fund:
Step 3-Select the right mix of schemes:
I think it is a good approach to invest all your money in the same way...
You should first define what you actually want to do with the money you are investing, decide when you want it and decide what is the risk you are willing to take without losing sleep over it...
Usually, when one has significant amount of money, it is recommended to divide it to two portfolios:
1. for significant amounts (or "heavy money") - more solid (mututal funds, bonds, ETFs etc)
2. for smaller amounts (or the risk factor) - more aggressive (stock options, high yield bonds, aggressive mutual funds etc)
Cheers

The good thing about mutual fund is they hire only the most (over) qualified and keen investment professionals to manage your funds. Since everyone in the industry is aiming to out-perform one another without taking on undue risks, even the worst fund is managed by someone more qualified than regular folks like you or I.

That's not exactly true, which is something you can verify by just looking at how many mutual funds there are out there -- something like 23,000 different mutual funds exist now. They can't ALL have qualified, keen investment professionals. Like anything else, their managers fall into a bell curve and only a tiny fraction are actually very good. (On average, they're better than the average non-professional, of course, but this is not saying very much.)
A great resource for evaluating mutual funds is Morningstar, which tells you how the funds invest and can give you performance track records.
And a really amazing source for evaluating fund performance in your personal portfolio is Quovo, which will show you how your funds stack up versus your own investments -- and against investments made by other people like you. If you think mutual funds always outperform your own stock picks, Quovo may surprise you (and you may surprise yourself -- particularly after fees are accounted for).

Until you are comfortable with investing in mutual funds, I would put your money in an index fund. There are funds that track the Dow, S & P and NASDAQ.
When you have more experience, you can start researching and buying other types of funds like sector funds, emerging market funds and the like.

The good thing which i like most about mutual fund is diversification. Diversification is really a good way to invest your money safely. Diversification means lowering your risk potential by spreading money across and within different sector stocks.

Mutual Funds are a good source of income, if you adequately managed. Handle mutual fund in a proper way is quite difficult because it requires smart work so it is better to classifying mutual funds as per their functioning and the type of funds they offer to investors.
