Various types of Mutual Funds exist to cater to different needs of different people. Largely, they are of three types.
  1. Equity or Growth Funds
  • These invest predominantly in equities i.e. shares of companies
  • The primary objective is wealth creation or capital appreciation.
  • They have the potential to generate higher return and are best for long term investments.
  • Examples would be
    • “Large Cap” funds which invest predominantly in companies that run large established business
    • “Mid Cap” funds which invest in mid-sized companies.
    • “Small Cap” funds that invest in small sized companies
    • “Multi Cap” funds that invest in a mix of large, mid and small sized companies.
    • “Sector” funds that invest in companies that are related to one type of business. For e.g. Technology funds that invest only in technology companies
    • “Thematic” funds that invest in a common theme. For e.g. Infrastructure funds that invest in companies that will benefit from the growth in the infrastructure segment
    • Tax-Saving Funds
  1. Income or Bond or Fixed Income Funds
  • These invest in Fixed Income Securities, like Government Securities or Bonds, Commercial Papers and Debentures, Bank Certificates of Deposits and Money Market instruments like Treasury Bills, Commercial Paper, etc.
  • These are relatively safer investments and are suitable for Income Generation.
  • Examples would be Liquid, Short Term, Floating Rate, Corporate Debt, Dynamic Bond, Gilt Funds, etc.
  1. Hybrid Funds
  • These invest in both Equities and Fixed Income, thus offering the best of both, Growth Potential as well as Income Generation.
  • Examples would be Aggressive Balanced Funds, Conservative Balanced Funds, Pension Plans, Child Plans and Monthly Income Plans, etc.

What is the benefit of staying invested in the long term? by FinVise India

Invest for long term  – an advice routinely given by many Mutual Fund distributors and investment advisors. This is especially true in case of certain Mutual Funds – such as equity and balanced funds. Let us understand why the professionals give such advice. What really happens in the long term? Is there a benefit of staying invested for long term? Consider your Mutual Fund investment as a good quality batsman. Every good quality batsman has a certain style of batting. However, each good quality batsman would be able to accumulate lots of runs, if he continues to play for years. We are talking about the record of a “good quality” batsman. Every good batsman would go through some good and poor performances. On average the record would be impressive. Similarly, a good Mutual Fund would also go through some ups and downs – often due to factors beyond the control of the fund manager. An investor would benefit if one stays invested through these funds for long periods of time....
