1. What is a Mutual Fund?
A mutual fund is an investment scheme that collects money from multiple investors and invests it in a diversified portfolio — like stocks, bonds, or other securities. The fund is managed by a professional fund manager.
2. How Do Mutual Funds Work?
When you invest in a mutual fund, you buy units of that fund. The fund manager pools your money with others and invests it in financial instruments. Returns are shared based on the number of units you hold and how the fund performs.
3. Types of Mutual Funds
✅ Equity Funds – Invest in shares of companies
✅ Debt Funds – Invest in fixed-income assets like bonds
✅ Hybrid Funds – Combine equity and debt
✅ ELSS Funds – Equity-linked saving schemes offering tax benefits under Section 80C
