The Problem Most SIP Investors Face

Most mutual fund investors follow a "set and forget" approach. You start SIPs in 5-10 different funds (often based on recommendations), contribute regularly, but rarely review what you own or how it performs together.

The Reality Check:

  • You might own 8 funds, but 6 could hold the same top 10 stocks
  • Your "diversified" portfolio might have 60% in small-cap funds (extremely risky)
  • Paying 2.5% expense ratios when index funds charge 0.1%
  • Your actual risk profile doesn't match your risk tolerance

This is where MFTracker becomes your portfolio's personal health diagnostic tool.

Limitations & What MFTracker Isn't

It's Not a Performance Tracker

What it DOES:

  • ✓ Analyze portfolio allocation
  • ✓ Calculate risk scores
  • ✓ Suggest rebalancing
  • ✓ Project future scenarios
  • ✓ Detect structural issues

What it DOESN'T:

  • ✗ Show actual NAV movements
  • ✗ Track XIRR/absolute returns
  • ✗ Compare fund performance
  • ✗ Provide live market data
  • ✗ Give buy/sell recommendations

⚠️ Important Disclaimer

MFTracker provides: Analytical tools, educational insights, portfolio structuring help

It does NOT provide: Personalized financial advice, tax planning, legal recommendations, guaranteed returns

Always consult SEBI-registered advisors for complex needs and do your own research before investing.
