| Easy investing, suitability to most risk profiles and highly professional management make Mutual Funds the most popular investment instruments amongst investors. |

| Types of Mutual Funds |
|
Equity Funds
Equity Funds (also know as growth funds) provide capital appreciation over the medium to long term. They usually invest in publicly traded stocks. The risk level varies according to the type of fund. If you are looking for growth with a long term outlook, then Equity Funds are just right for you. Further there are tax saving options through Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS).
Debts Funds
Debt Funds provide a relatively safer investment option over the medium term. They invest in interest bearing government and corporate bonds, thus ensuring interest income as well as capital gains.
Hybrid Funds
Hybrid Funds include both debt and equity assets and provide benefits from both these asset classes. These are ideal for medium to long term horizons. Some of the popular types of Hybrid Funds are Balanced Funds and Monthly Income Plans.
