    We have some popular 20 year old funds. If I am wrong the earliest MF was started way back in 60s.

    To answer your question, try answering why only a small portion of our country invests in equities (stock or MFs). Because most of us cannot stomach volatility and don’t understand the difference bet volatility and risk

    Most of us will do anything to save taxes but refuse to understand the simple concept that the primary reason to invest in stock is to beat inflation.

    The point is if one is risk averse then one SHOULD invest in equities. This simple idea must be marketed properly
