Investment in mutual funds has grown rapidly. The likelihood of getting good returns is one of its most important reasons.

In such cases, keeping track of all mutual fund investments together becomes difficult.
Therefore, we will tell you about some methods through which you can track all your Mutual Fund Investments. Whether it’s SIP or lumpsum investment, you will be able to track them together. But before that, let’s take a look at the increasing popularity of mutual funds.
According to the organization AMFI (Association of Mutual Funds in India), as of April 30, 2024, the Assets Under Management (AUM) of the mutual fund industry in India was Rs. 57.26 lakh crores.
