Most mutual funds demonstrate high annual returns:
Co Sberbank It didn't work out for me from the very beginning. Back in 2007, I got a card to book hotels, buy tickets, and pay on websites. Annual maintenance The card was withdrawn as soon as I deposited the money. But I couldn’t use the card: neither Booking nor Iherb accepted it. I didn’t dare take it abroad, because... I heard from friends that the restaurant did not accept the card. Co Sberbank I said goodbye for 10 years.
I am interested in investments and inspired by the results of world famous investors. And why am I actually worse?
Because I learned from books about American stock market, then immediately “jumped into the water” and bought shares. Then I decided to reduce the risk and buy mutual funds. I studied them first.
Advantages of mutual funds over independent investing:
Flaws:
If everything is clear about the advantages, then nothing is clear about the disadvantages without specific numbers and percentages. I looked at reviews of mutual funds. In general, the picture is this: I invested a lot and received little. There may be reasons for this:
But mutual funds already attracted me. I also wanted to be a shareholder. To understand the whole process, I allocated 2 equal amounts. I invested one in mutual funds, the other in shares. I wanted to know who would win.
The experiment begins.
I purchased shares "Balanced Fund" of Sberbank. It consists of both shares, because and bonds.
At the same time, on the same day, I bought the same shares and bonds from my broker. I tried to purchase in the same percentage as in the fund.
Not everything was acquired, so the experiment is not considered “clean”. But the general trend can be traced. On that day, the shares of Sberbank and Gazprom were in decline.
Sberbank Asset Management took 5 days to process my purchase request. The money, naturally, was withdrawn immediately. And when my shares appeared in personal account, then the 1% commission was also removed.
For the 1st month in "Balanced Fund" I lost 0.3% of the invested amount.
From the 2nd to the 4th month there was a trend of +1% -1%.
The shares and bonds I bought on my own in 4 months gave 17.5% of my invested amount.
Yes, 4 months is not a long time for mutual funds. But personally, I’d rather put the money on deposit in the bank.
Does the profitability of mutual funds depend on the management company or only on the market situation? It depends, but I didn’t invest in risky funds.
Deposit rates today do not provide investors with the desired return. This leads to a continued increase in the popularity of mutual funds. Do not forget that mutual funds are quite risky investment. Therefore, the choice of a management company should be approached as responsibly as possible. Particularly trustworthy are mutual funds investment funds Sberbank primarily due to the reputation of the financial group that created them. Let us remember that the funds used to belong to the oldest investment company in Russia – Troika Dialog. Several years ago, Sberbank acquired this investment company along with its mutual funds, and now the company is called Sberbank Asset Management.
To understand whether it is worth investing in Sberbank mutual funds, it is important to study the advantages and disadvantages of such investments.
Among the advantages are the following:
Despite the fact that investing in Sberbank mutual funds has a huge number of advantages, there are also disadvantages.
The management company, part of the Sberbank group of companies, offers one of the most diverse lines of mutual funds in Russian market. In this case, investment management can be carried out through your personal account. This is where you can perform all the necessary operations, as well as monitor the dynamics of your own investment portfolio.
For the right choice It is important to understand that Sberbank mutual funds in 2019 (as always) differ in their level of profitability and risk. As with other funds, the rule applies - the higher the profit, the higher the risk.
As you know, bonds are considered one of the lowest risk valuable papers. This is especially true for those issued by the state. Among the mutual funds in Sberbank, four are bond funds:
Those who are interested in the maximum profitability of Sberbank mutual funds should pay attention to equity funds. However, do not forget that these funds are characterized by a high degree of risk. Sberbank Mutual Funds offers a very wide range of shares:
Mixed investments in Sberbank are represented by the Balanced Fund. Its terms involve the distribution of capital between stocks and bonds. At the same time, the ratio of securities is constantly changing. The average level of risk here is combined with a return of about 65% over 3 years.
Most mutual funds involve a high level of risk (the exception is the Gold fund). At the same time, they show increased profitability. Below are the areas of investment, as well as the growth in the value of shares over 3 years for mutual funds.
In the sector of balanced investments, in which the level of risk and profitability are at an average level, closed-end real estate mutual funds are also distinguished. Unfortunately, recently all funds in this group have shown a decline in the value of their shares. Nevertheless, they deserve attention. This is explained by the fact that the profitability of closed-end funds can only be judged when they expire.
Thus, Sberbank mutual funds represent a promising area for investment. It is important to keep in mind that most of them carry a high level of risk. Before investing, you should choose the optimal combination of profitability and risk. In addition, it would be a good idea to study reviews from clients who were already shareholders of the preferred fund.
If previously the main object of investment for ordinary people were only bank deposits, then recently more and more Russians want to invest money in open-end mutual funds ( Open mutual funds) of the same banks, since it is almost as reliable, but the profitability is, as a rule, much higher.

When purchasing through agents, the minimum amount may be even higher.
As for commissions, they largely depend on the amount and period of investment ( The larger the investment, the lower the commission). So, having purchased shares of less than by 3 million rubles., you will have to pay a surcharge of 1% , and if the amount is equal to or greater, then in total 0,5% .

The profitability indicators for the period until mid-May 2017 give a negative result of -1.73%, however, since when investing, rubles of shareholders are converted into foreign currency, and when leaving the share again into rubles, this additionally helps to save funds from inflation and make money on the growth of the exchange rate dollar.
