Yes that's why average returns can be approximately 15/20 over a decade or 2. Traders loose gain money everyday not really mf investors unless they withdraw at a loss.

Axis Bluechip Fund is one of the best among all MFs in India.

If I sense such thing I would be planning to get out of this country & advise others to do the same
On a more serious note, nothing short of world war 3(or until global Earth temp cross the 2 degree Celsius increase limit) would result in such a situation.The probability of getting hit by lightening while walking outside in typical monsoon season is also not zero(aka no guarantee you won't be hit by lightening in monsoon season while walking outside) but that doesn't mean one should not get out of house at all during monsoon season. You should also read about the rules & regulations of sebi under which all MFs in India operate.
Take a look at worst performing MFs in India for more than 5 years of opeeration & you will see that 3 of them are Gold traded funds which have nothing to do with market but rather the value of gold & the rest are debt funds(which again are not equity funds aka nothing much to do with market).

right, so i invested some in bluechip. but how is axis triple advantage direct growth plan ?
Check its portfolio, it holds around 20% under "Others" category which mainly consists of MF units & TREPS so need some opinions from a more knowledgeable person in such matters. I will ask one such person & will update here whenever I get the reply.

How the gold ETF funds are in loss? I thought gold ETF bonds are the best gold related investment since they can be sold at exact current gold prices of the day(unlike gold jewelry which depreciate the moment one buys) and gold prices have always been increasing. Then how the these funds have incurred loss?
Gold prices fluctuate a lot & they don't always increase(rule of thumb is when stock market is booming gold goes down & vice versa, very rare exceptions like corona times are there though) or their increase is less than inflation rate. Also that axis triple advantage fund is not a good option in the long term compared to bluechip fund as per my friend's opinion who knows much more about market.

It's not pure equity from what I find. It has investments in other mutual funds and a small amount is kept as FD too. 7% approx is put into government bonds too. It might not return too much compared to some pure equity MFs during a hard bull market but it will fall much less compared to those others during bear markets too.
If the shares don't overlap with your other mutual fund can look for this fund to bring a bit of stability to your portfolio as some are investments in debt and other fixed return schemes.
Personally, I feel it's better to do directly via NIFTY bees. Less tracking error and no issue of expense fees. No lock-in period that you can sell and buy like shares only.
Yes, you need to buy it directly from stock market just like you would buy share of a company.

That is why gold is not an investment. Just an emotional purchase. Try convincing people.

Is this safe for long term investments, like MF? Where can I read more about this? or some youtube video?

Safety depends on the company itself. Now if you buy stocks of TCS you are very safe but if you pick up some penny stocks and expect it to balloon up you may loose your money. Similarly if you invest in good companies you can expect better returns than average 15-20% returns of MFs.

I don;t want to get stocks as of now. Since I still dont know how it all works. I am getting comfortable with MF but was curious about Nifty Bees since I heard about it few time now.

What kind of lame example is that Dude ? The probability of catching Corona is also there even if you wear Masks and Roam outside
Investing in Stock market or MF is not a Snooker game where you enter and exit at your convenience. Most of us select the MF based on its performance graph of last 2~5 yrs but that doesn't guarantee it will perform the same in next 4~5 years.
Making decision of selecting a Stock or MF is careful study of a Company day to day operation and by that it means the Balance Sheet/ P&L statement/Annual Report/Expense Ratio/Debt Ratio and other financial terms to Analyze which most of us don't do at all bcoz that is taken care of by the MF Fund manager to make our Job easier. That is why we pay to Stock Broker/Fund Manager to avoid the headache of looking at 3~4 monitors of fluctuating share prices graph.
And Debt funds are dependent on Market but they are less volatile than Equity.

Why they can't ? Gold is also an investment tool and is volatile depending on Market condition. Long time back people used to invest in Gold a lot. Even now if you ask the older generation (Grand parents) they believe in gold investment.
