Mutual funds

Mutual funds are created when several people who wish to earn wealth (investors) combine their resources to create a huge investable amount (corpus). This large corpus is then invested into various companies across industries, operating in different sectors of the economy – depending on the type of fund chosen. All the investors of a mutual fund share in its profits, losses, incomes, and expenses in direct proportion to their level of investment.

Companies that create mutual fund schemes are called Fund Houses or Asset Management Companies (AMCs). The professionals who study the markets and pick companies to invest in are called Fund Managers. Fund managers spend a great deal of time analysing markets and studying different sectors of the economy to figure out which companies are most likely to turn a profit – in different time frames – and choose the best option.

There are thousands of mutual funds in India, under different categories, offered by hundreds of AMCs and Fund Houses. For fairness and transparency, global agencies exist that analyse and rate the performance of funds over time and make sure that investors are well informed before investing. It is mandatory for AMCs to declare a standard against which the performance of any given fund can be measured – this is called a benchmark. There are also regulatory bodies like AMFI and SEBI that ensure no investor ever gets scammed.

Mutual fund types

Some mutual funds focus on a single asset class, such as stocks or bonds, while others invest in a variety. These are the main types of mutual funds:

  • A) Stock (Equity) Funds :

    Carry the greatest risk alongside the greatest potential returns. Fluctuations in the market can drastically affect the returns of equity funds. There are several types of equity funds, such as growth funds, income funds and sector funds. Each of these groups tries to maintain a portfolio of stocks with certain characteristics. Equity funds are the most popular type of mutual fund, accounting for 55% of all mutual funds owned in 2017, according to the Investment Company Institute.

  • B) Bond (FixedIincome) Funds :

    They are less risky than stock funds. There are many different types of bonds, so you should research each mutual fund individually in order to determine the amount of risk associated with it. About 22% of all U.S. mutual funds are bond funds, ICI stats show.

  • C) Balanced Funds :

    Invest in a mix of stocks, bonds and other securities. Balanced funds (also called asset allocation funds or hybrid funds) are often a “fund of funds,” investing in a group of other mutual funds. One popular example is a target date fund, which automatically chooses and reallocates assets toward safer investments as you approach retirement age. Hybrid funds make up 8% of the mutual fund market, according to the ICI.

  • D) Money Market Funds :

    Have the lowest returns because they carry the lowest risk. Money market funds are legally required to invest in high-quality, short-term investments that are issued by the U.S. government or U.S. corporations. These funds make up 15% of the mutual fund market.
