Past performance should not be the sole criterion for selecting an equity mutual fund. Before investing, investors should also evaluate factors such as the fund's investment objective, portfolio composition, expense ratio, risk profile, and whether it aligns with their financial goals and investment horizon. Since equity mutual funds are subject to market risk, reviewing the scheme documents and consulting a financial advisor, if required, can help in making informed investment decisions.
