Each fund house has its own set of processes and procedures that it applies while managing the scheme. The entire structure consists of multiple analysts as well as research teams and other fund managers. Their inputs play an important role in the overall management of the portfolio and in such an arrangement the risk to the investor is reduced even after a fund manager leaves the job.

This is done by looking at the asset base and this formula is used to instill confidence in the investor that the management process of the particular scheme is going to continue on a continuous basis. It is assumed that there is a shared responsibility. And more than one person is involved in the decisions taken here. In such a case, even if a fund manager leaves, another one will take over his responsibility. And thus this system creates confidence that transactions will continue without any hindrance.
What is the type of fund, its big role
The nature of the fund also decides the risk involved in the steps taken by the fund manager and if it is a large-cap fund then the role of the particular fund manager is also limited after a completely unique portfolio is prepared. Similarly, there are specific strategies for any value fund or contra fund. About which attention is drawn to the fund feature. It is quite possible that the fund manager managing such a fund may not have a huge impact as compared to a mid-cap or small-cap. Because here the option of choosing stock is more important.
