Understanding Mutual Funds

What Are Mutual Funds?

Mutual funds are investment programs funded by shareholders that trade in diversified holdings and are professionally managed. They pool money from numerous investors to invest in a broad range of securities, which can include stocks, bonds, or other assets. This collective investment strategy allows individuals to invest in a diversified portfolio without having to buy each asset individually.

Equity Funds

Providing potential for high growth and returns

Equity mutual funds are the funds which invests maximum portion of their corpus in equities of listed companies ranging from minimum 80% to 100% maximum.

Equity oriented mutual funds are typically suited for investors willing to take risk for excellent returns.

Risk doesn’t means erosion of your capital rather its all about the fluctuations in the share market and returns are not exactly guaranteed.

Equity mutual funds are the best funds to choose if you wish to reap more returns over long term say for e.g. 5-10 years and historically equity funds delivered more than 12% to 15% compounded returns over 5 year period and above.

ELSS Funds

Mostly all tax saver funds are diversified and multi-cap in nature and the returns are fabulous.

Investors who doesn’t seek tax exemption but also looking for long term wealth creation can also prefer tax saver schemes.

Debt Funds

Debt funds are those which invests in non equity related instruments such as bonds, government securities, corporate deposits etc.

Compared to equity funds debt funds are relatively of low risk. Risk here means returns are again not guaranteed but fluctuating here but not to the extent of equity funds.

Debt funds are suited for investors with short term goals and with low risk appetite.
