Truly Rich Club Mutual Fund: What Funds To Buy?

I received a stock alert by Truly Rich Club yesterday informing me to buy four mutual funds that are being recommended because of the global financial market’s decline. As you know, global markets went down these past few days and mutual funds aren’t any exception.

As I have been investing in individual stocks for quite some time now, it would be difficult for me now to allocate a portion of my salary to a mutual fund.

Since my stock positions have also dropped tremendously these past few days, I’m more inclined into adding my existing positions and considering buying some undervalued stocks in the months to come.

For those investors who are quite confident of managing and re-balancing their own portfolio, this is a much better choice I guess.

But for starters who want to invest in a less risky environment, mutual funds is the better choice.

Now before buying into these funds, I suggest that you do your research first to know more about its portfolio, performance and the fund’s direction. So what I did Is that I made a brief summary of the fund facts about each fund to help the beginner investor decide.

After you’ve chosen a suitable fund that fits your risk profile, the next thing you need to do as per Bro. Bo is to invest small amounts to these funds each month for the long-term because when the market recovers, these funds will bounce back up.
