Equity Mutual Funds
Schemes investing mainly in company shares, meant for longer holding periods and carrying higher market risk.
Ten categories, including Shariah-compliant schemes. Suitability depends on your goal, horizon and risk comfort — and every scheme document should be read before investing.
Schemes investing mainly in company shares, meant for longer holding periods and carrying higher market risk.
Schemes investing in bonds and money market instruments, usually with lower volatility than equity schemes.
Schemes that hold both equity and debt in defined proportions within a single portfolio.
Ethical schemes that screen out interest-based, alcohol, tobacco and gambling businesses as per their stated mandate.
Equity-linked savings schemes eligible under Section 80C, with a three-year lock-in on every instalment.
Passive schemes that track a chosen index rather than relying on active stock selection.
Deposits with partner banks and NBFCs offering a contracted rate for a fixed tenure.
Term, LIC and other life covers arranged through licensed insurers to protect a family's income.
Vehicle insurance, home and travel covers for everyday assets and liabilities.
Individual and family floater covers for hospitalisation and related medical expenses.
The single biggest factor is when you need the money back. Short horizons usually sit in lower-volatility categories; longer horizons can absorb the ups and downs of equity. Tax treatment, lock-in and exit load matter too, and we explain all three before anything is submitted.
Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Read all scheme related documents carefully before investing.
