Mutual funds are a company that pools money from many investors and invests the money in securities like a bond, stocks, and short term debt. The combined holding of mutual funds is known as its portfolio. Investors buy shares in mutual funds. Mutual funds are a professionally managed investment scheme, usually run by an asset management company that brings together a group of people and invest their money in securities. A mutual fund is a very good investment option to start for investors who lack the time or knowledge to make traditional and complex investment decisions on their own. To start investing in mutual funds you must be KYC compliant. It is a one-time process and documents are required. While no investment is 100% risk-free you can consult mutual fund advisory services who can help you to handpick the best performing mutual funds for your bright financial future.
