While conducting due diligence is crucial for complex investment vehicles, surprisingly, it's the everyday investment assets and types that demand just as much, if not closer, scrutiny.
This heightened scrutiny is necessary because, despite their familiarity, these investments can harbor hidden risks. Take mutual funds, for instance. Many investors assume they are inherently safe due to their long-standing presence in the market.
However, issues such as high management charges, deviation from the fund's stated investment style, and exaggerated performance claims can significantly increase the risk associated with these seemingly straightforward investments
These factors may ultimately lead to the erosion of capital, highlighting the importance of thorough examination and analysis, even for seemingly mundane investment options.
