First time investor in stock market should opt for mutual funds because they are well managed by qualified market experts, so investor can have faith on it and invest money in mutual fund.

So mutual funds are recommended for first time investor?

Professional assistance is always advisable if there is limited market exposure. The advantage of mutual fund is, you get professional management and diversification at a very low cost and can benefit from economies of scale.

But a mutual fund also doesn’t guarantee any returns and is standardized. Also, risk appetite, amount invested etc should be considered.

I suggest that it is easier to calculate the performance of mutual fund than a stock and due to lack of information and skill to evaluate one must trust fund manager.
