Beta trick


As per the experts, while investing in mutual funds, definitely pay attention to its beta. Suppose two funds have given the same return at 12 percent, have both taken the same risk? The answer is no. Now if you want to know who has taken which level of risk, you have to do a beta check. If the beta is more than 1,  the fund is volatile and has taken a lot of risks.
