To Sell or Not to Sell a Mutual Fund

To Sell or Not to Sell - Annuity Rates, Annuities, Annuity Quotes and Fixed AnnuitiesProfessional management and diversification are two qualities of mutual funds that make them a natural choice for investors who prefer a buy-and-hold strategy over the long term. In fact, a mutual fund portfolio that is built according to the appropriate asset allocation should prove to be somewhat low maintenance, if not hassle-free, for a number of years.

Dumping disappointing funds for the sole purpose of chasing higher returns is rarely advised, but there are some situations in which it may be prudent to consider selling a fund.

Relative Underperformance
A sustained and unexplainable decline in performance, when compared to a fund's benchmark and/or other funds of the same type, could signal some inherent weakness.

Changing Circumstances
Marriage, retirement, or other financial needs are sure to change over time. If your preferred asset allocation shifts with time, funds of one asset class may need to be sold or exchanged for another type of investment that harbors less risk.

Loss of Direction
Occasionally, a mutual fund will stray from its stated objective or investment philosophy. For example, a balanced fund that has veered toward a growth orientation may no longer be serving its intended purpose in your portfolio.

It may be difficult to determine when a particular mutual fund has worn out its welcome. The objective opinion of a qualified financial professional may help when it comes to learning which of the funds in your portfolio should be shown out the door.

Mutual funds are sold only by prospectus. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the investment company, can be obtained from your financial professional. Be sure to read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest.

The investment return and principal value of mutual fund shares fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
