Mutual funds are investment vehicles that pool money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of capital market instruments, including equities listed on the stock exchange, treasury bills, treasury bonds, or other securities. Each investor in a mutual fund owns shares of the fund, representing a portion of the overall holdings. These shares are referred to as Investment Certificates, symbolizing the investor’s ownership in the mutual funds. The primary objective of mutual funds is to provide investors with access to a diversified portfolio managed by professional fund managers, reducing risk compared to investing in individual securities. Investors benefit from the collective buying power, professional management, and diversification of the fund, which can be difficult to achieve on their own.

Mutual funds come in various types, each designed to meet different investment objectives and risk profiles. The main types of mutual funds include:
  • Equity Funds (Stock Market)
  • Fixed Income Funds (Medium/Long term Debt Funds)
  • Money Market Funds (Short term Debt Funds)
  • Balanced Funds (Hybrid Funds)
  • Precious Metals Funds (Gold/Silver Funds)
