Since a mutual fund refers to investing a pooled amount of money in different stocks, investors often assume their risk is quite diversified. However, experts recommend also diversify the type of different mutual fund schemes you invest in: you can choose different industry-focused funds or funds based on different market capitalization.

But this is also not enough. A smart investor also needs to monitor the performance of different funds they own, and rebalance it depending on new market conditions and performance metrics.

However, when you have multiple mutual fund investments, monitoring each independently can be a cumbersome process. This is where a consolidated mutual fund statement helps. In this article we dive deep into what is a consolidated mutual fund statement and its features.

Features of the consolidated MF statement

The mutual funds’ consolidated statement exhibits the following salient features:

  • It is, usually, issued by the 10th of every mth. 
  • As per SEBI guidelines, issuing a mutual fund statement is mandatory
  • To ensure you get this statement, you have to register your email ID with authorised mutual fund registrars. The mutual funds’ consolidated statement is then mailed to you in an electronic format. Because of its online nature, it is also called an eCAS statement.
  • The statement is issued in PDF format and is always password protected. Your PAN ID is the password with which you can open the attached document and check your mutual fund transactions.
