When I first mentioned MF trading, I didn't fully grasp how it worked. But after diving deeper, I found it's a lot more popular than I initially thought. Many HNI and institutional investors actively use this strategy, which you can spot if you pay attention to mutual fund inflows and outflows. But here’s the catch: MF trading isn't all smooth sailing. The biggest downside, in my view, is how NAV is calculated. Unlike stocks that trade in real-time, mutual fund NAV is locked in only at the end of the trading day, typically after 2 PM. This means if you buy in when the Nifty 50 is down 1%, but the market bounces back by the close, your order is processed at the higher NAV, not the dip you were hoping to catch. That timing gap can be a real dealbreaker. But why do HNIs still love it? One word liquidity. When you’re moving serious money think crores, not thousands trying to fill a massive order in the regular market can be a nightmare. It might not get fully executed, leaving you partially invested. Mutual funds, on the other hand, handle these chunky investments much more smoothly. A little side note: someone I was talking to even hinted that a few traders might use this strategy to manipulate the market, but that’s a different conversation. Bottom line: it’s not a one size fits all approach, but if you understand the risks and know how to time your moves, MF trading can be a powerful part of your portfolio.

Dude, I had looked into F&O and swing trading before, but today I came across mutual fund trading as well. The funny thing is, its returns are usually higher than those of regular traders because it doesn't have the extra costs that we have to pay du
