Investing in mutual funds is a very popular option among people of all ages. Experts often suggest that it performance chasing and understanding mutual fund performance in terms of momentum is problematic and it is actually the mean reversion that dominates mutual fund performance. Past performance cannot be used as an indicator of better returns as one often finds that it is the best performing funds that lose more in crashed.

However, if you are a beginner, these terms can be daunting, so you can track your mutual fund performance by comparing your fund returns with the corresponding index benchmarks (say Sensex, NIFTY, BSE Small Cap, etc). Some of the platforms that help you in tracking the mutual fund performance include Money Control, Value Research Online, etc. Recently, it has become an industry practice for AMC companies to offer their clients an online portal where they can track the performance of their invested mutual funds.
