WHAT AREMutual Funds?

Mutual funds are investment products that are professionally managed and that pool funds of a large number of investors and subsequently invest the funds in diversifying investments such as equities, bonds, and hybrid portfolios. You do not have to select a stock in isolation, but you obtain a diversified portfolio of expertly managed stocks.

It is among the simplest methods of getting involved with the financial markets of India, without necessarily having to monitor or select individual investments.

ADVANTAGES OFInvesting in Mutual Funds
