Fair & Lovely Mutual Funds

......What about consumers? Why don’t they protest? Well, because these nicely perfumed gels and lotions may not make you fairer, but they are harmless; they moisturise and they allow people to live in hope. In other words, the consumer is a willing sucker in this case and there is little harm done. Can mutual funds (MFs) try to sell their schemes like fair & lovely? MFs have an obligation to perform. If an MF scheme, over a period of time, gives you low or negative returns, it hurts your financial future. It is not harmless......
