5 tips for mutual fund investing during the loan term 

1. Pay down your home loan and invest in a fund at the same time. Secure your future by making fund investments as you repay your loan.

2. Keep your monthly expenses unchanged by extending the loan term and by investing the money freed up in a mutual fund.

3. You can make changes to the loan term during its term.

4. By investing monthly in the fund, you’ll utilise the compound interest effect and diversify investments in terms of time too.

5. Select a monthly investment amount that suits you financially. The ideal investment amount can be 10 per cent of the net profit, but you can get started just by investing ten euros a month. If necessary, you can easily change the investment amount, put investing on hold or redeem your investments.
