The fund manager (not the fund) is often ignored in the mutual fund decision-making process, and is more directly related to how your money is managed than the fund house. In reality, the fund manager is the one making the actual investment decisions and driving the trades.
A strong fund manager will have a professional qualification in finance and many years of experience in investment management, where investment management is specifically the management of funds, and not investment banking, chartered accountancy, and brokerage.
Understand what funds the manager has worked at in the past and what her/his own investment track record is. It's also important to look at the management of the firm and their involvement in the fund: Who makes the final decision, the fund manager or the fund house management?
