Suitability framework

Fund Selection Policy

Our documented process for recommending mutual fund schemes, based on your suitability, not commission rates.

Last updated May 2026

Our commitment

Fundvaliz recommends mutual fund schemes based purely on investor suitability and financial goals. Scheme recommendations are never influenced by commission rates. This policy documents our fund selection framework transparently.

1. Risk profiling: understanding you first

Before any recommendation, we conduct a structured risk profiling exercise covering:

Investment objective (wealth creation, income, tax saving, capital preservation)

Investment horizon (short, medium, long term)

Risk tolerance (conservative, moderate, aggressive)

Liquidity needs and existing financial obligations

Existing portfolio and asset allocation
