A mutual fund is a pool of investments raised by several investors (both individuals and institutions) with common investment objectives. The pooled sum is managed by an entity called the fund house or asset management company. A mutual fund invests in capital assets such as equity shares, bonds, money market securities, and so on, with the intent to provide investors with profits.

Mutual funds pool investments from various investors with common objectives. A fund manager, who is a finance professional with an excellent track record, is appointed to manage the pooled investment. He invests the collected money as per the investment mandate. Investors are allocated with a certain number of fund units corresponding to their amount invested, and the profits generated, if any, are divided among investors accordingly.

You have to complete your KYC verification before you can get started with your mutual fund investments. It is a one-time process and requires one document each that serve as your identity and address proof. You can invest in mutual funds directly with the fund house or through a third party such as financial advisors, distributors, or online platforms. The advent of technology has made mutual funds a seamless online investment option.

Mutual funds are broadly categorised into equity funds, debt funds and hybrid funds. Equity funds are those mutual funds whose asset allocation is mostly made towards equity shares of companies across sectors and market capitalisation. Debt funds are those funds whose portfolio mainly consists of fixed-income securities across debt and money markets. Hybrid funds invest across both equity and debt securities.
