Mutual Funds:

It’s an investment programme funded by shareholders and is professionally managed and traded in diversified holdings, thus minimising the market risk.

Equity Schemes:

These primarily invest in shares. Based on the objective, investments could be in growth stocks, where earnings growth is expected to be high or value stocks. Here the view of the fund manager is that current valuations in the markets do not reflect the intrinsic value.

Debt or Income Scheme :

This scheme generally invests funds in fixed-income securities, mainly in government securities and corporate bonds, with various maturities. The investor earns returns from interest income on its investments and profits on trading securities. These funds are comparatively less risky.

Balanced Schemes:

Balanced schemes invest in a mix of equity and debt. The debt investments ensure a basic interest income, which the fund manager hopes to top with a capital gain from the investment in equities. However loses can eat into basic interest income and capital.

Monthly Income Plans:

MIPs aim to provide consistency in returns by investing a major part of the portfolio in debt market instruments with a small investment in equities. Thus, these funds are more suited for investors who along with protection of capital seek some capital appreciation. However, the monthly income is not assured.

Equity Linked Saving Scheme :

ELSS is an open-ended equity growth scheme that is offered by Mutual Funds in line with existing ELSS guidelines. The investments are subject to a lock-in period of 3 years and, as per the Finance Act 2005, are allowed the benefit of income deduction up to Rs. 1,50,000. This scheme offers the benefits of tax saving and capital gains. Instead of spreading your investments across different instruments such as PPF, ELSS, NSC and infrastructure bonds, you can now invest the entire limit of Rs. 1,50,000 available under Sec 80(C) in ELSS.

Systematic Investment Plan:

An SIP is a convenient way to accumulate wealth in a disciplined manner for a long-term. It helps you to invest regularly in small Installments and thereby build wealth over a period of time. This plan is best for young people looking for investment plans.
