The first step in determining whether a particular mutual fund is appropriate for an investor is to assess risk tolerance. This is the ability and willingness to take a risk in exchange for the chance of a higher return. Funds that invest primarily in stocks are not suitable for investors with very low risk tolerance. Similarly, some high-yield bond funds may also be at high risk profile if they invest in low-credit bonds to generate higher returns.

Determining the specific goals of the investor is the next important step in evaluating mutual funds.

For an investor whose main goal is to keep the initial investment, high-risk funds are not a suitable choice. These types of investors have a very low risk tolerance and should avoid most funds that invest in stocks, as well as bonds with a riskier strategy. Instead, it is good to focus on funds that invest mainly with high credit rating government or corporate bonds or money market funds.

If the investor's main goal is to generate a high return, he is probably willing to take more risk. In this case, high-yield funds that invest in stocks and bonds can be an excellent choice. Although the potential for loss is greater, these funds are managed by professional managers who have the experience, knowledge and expertise. They are more likely than the average investor to generate significant profits by buying and selling certain stocks and risky debt securities.

For investors who want to increase their wealth, money market funds are not suitable, as well as those with lower risk, as their expected return is not much higher than that of inflation.
