Fund Categories

Common mutual fund categories

Each category carries a different level of risk and suits different goals.

Equity Funds

Invest mainly in shares. Suited to long-term goals; higher volatility in the short term.

Debt Funds

Invest in bonds and money-market instruments. Generally lower volatility than equity, but not risk-free.

Hybrid Funds

Combine equity and debt to balance growth potential with stability.

Index Funds & ETFs

Passively track a market index, typically with lower expense ratios.

ELSS (Tax-saving)

Equity funds with a 3-year lock-in that may offer tax benefits under applicable laws and tax regime.

Solution-oriented

Retirement and children’s funds designed around specific long-term goals, usually with lock-ins.

Investor Education

Principles every investor should know

Risk and return go together

Higher potential returns come with higher risk of loss.

Time in the market

Staying invested longer can help smooth out short-term volatility.

Diversify

Spreading money across assets reduces dependence on any one investment.

Review regularly

Rebalance as goals, age and markets change.

FAQs

Investing questions

What is a SIP?

A Systematic Investment Plan lets you invest a fixed amount in a mutual fund at regular intervals, such as monthly. It encourages discipline and averages your purchase cost over time.

What is the minimum amount to start investing?

Many mutual funds allow SIPs with small monthly amounts; the exact minimum depends on the scheme.

Do I need a demat account for mutual funds?

Not necessarily. Mutual fund units can be held in statement (non-demat) form or in a demat account. A demat account is required to buy shares directly.

Can I withdraw my mutual fund investment anytime?

Most open-ended funds allow redemption at any time, but exit loads may apply and some categories such as ELSS have lock-in periods.
