Fund House - The fund house has the onus to manage your capital and oversee your investments. When opting for a fund house, do your due diligence and research about them. This research should cover the kind of schemes offered by the fund house, their investment approach, products on offer, etc.

Fund Performance - When selecting a fund, examine its past performance and the returns it has given to investors over different periods. Compare this with the benchmark index and you can also check out the expense ratio of the fund.
