mutual fund is an asset class where a fund manager pools funds from several investors and parks them across investments such as bonds, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/what-is-equity\/\">equity<\/a>, debt, and more, depending on the investment objective (mentioned in the offer document).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-do-mutual-funds-work\"><\/span><strong>How do mutual funds work?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most significant advantages of mutual funds is that they are professionally managed. Known as a fund managers, they are responsible for investing the pool of funds in select instruments in line with the fund\u2019s objective. Besides, the fund manager monitors the performance of the mutual fund and reshuffles the funds from bad-performing investments to better ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike equity, when you purchase a mutual fund, you are not allotted individual shares but a unit of the mutual fund in proportion to your investment. Nevertheless, the value of a unit increases or decreases as per the value of the fund&#8217;s underlying assets. And such a profit or loss is proportionately shared by all the investors in the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Different-types-of-mutual-funds\"><\/span><strong>Different types of mutual funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mutual funds in themselves are a vast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/what-is-asset-allocation\/\">asset class<\/a>. Various types of mutual fund schemes are designed to meet the evolving needs of investors. Let\u2019s take a look at the broad factors based on which mutual funds are classified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Based on the entry barrier<\/li><li>Based on the asset class<\/li><li>Based on speciality<\/li><li>Based on the investment objective<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let us take a look at how many types of mutual funds are there in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Based-on-the-entry-barrier\"><\/span><strong>Based on the entry barrier<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this category, mutual funds are classified based on the ease of entering and exiting the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Open-ended-funds\"><\/span><strong>Open-ended funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Such types of mutual fund schemes are known for the liquidity that they offer. These are open for a subscription (buy\/purchase) and redemption (sell) at all times as there is no fixed maturity period. You can trade units of an open-ended fund at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/mutual-fund-nav\/\">Net Asset Value (NAV)<\/a>, which is ascertained daily when the market closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Close-ended-funds\"><\/span><strong>Close-ended funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, close-ended funds have a fixed maturity period, typically ranging from 3 to 7 yrs. Here, a fixed number of units are issued and listed on a stock exchange. Unlike an open-ended fund, you cannot enter or exit this fund as you wish. You can only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/why-should-you-prioritise-investing\/\">invest<\/a> in a close-ended fund during the initial period, regarded as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/nfo-in-mutual-fund\/\">New Fund Offer (NFO)<\/a> period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wish to invest in this fund later, you can do so by purchasing the units listed on a stock exchange, either at a premium or a discount on NAV. This feature makes a close-ended fund very much like an exchange-traded fund (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/exchange-traded-funds\/\">ETF<\/a>). Since the fund has a fixed maturity period, your investment will automatically be redeemed on the maturity date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interval-funds\"><\/span><strong>Interval funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of mutual fund is a combination of an open-ended and a close-ended fund. You can invest or exit from an interval fund only at specific intervals at the discretion of the mutual fund house. Once you invest in an interval fund, your money is locked in until maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Based-on-the-asset-classes\"><\/span><strong>Based on the asset classes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this category, mutual funds are classified based on the underlying asset or nature of the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Equity-or-growth-schemes\"><\/span><strong>Equity or growth schemes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/advantages-disadvantages-of-mutual-funds\/\">mutual funds in India<\/a> allow you to indirectly invest in stock markets, i.e. shares or related instruments. The aim here is to offer capital appreciation over the medium- to long-term. Since equity, the underlying asset, has a considerable risk element, growth mutual funds also carry high risk. Nonetheless, the risk is mitigated as the funds are spread across equities of various industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like equity, a growth scheme also has the potential to generate high returns in the long term. You can consider investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/6-factors-investing-in-equity-funds\/\">equity funds<\/a> if you are looking for capital appreciation, have a high-risk appetite, and have a long-term investment horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Debt-or-fixed-income-funds\"><\/span><strong>Debt or fixed-income funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of mutual funds in India majorly invest in debt or fixed-income instruments such as gilts, bonds, debentures, and money-market securities. As such, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/things-to-consider-debt-mutual-fund\/\">a debt fund<\/a> offers a fixed rate of interest and is relatively less risky than an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/6-factors-investing-in-equity-funds\/\">equity fund<\/a>. This fund provides capital security and moderate growth and is suitable if you want to receive a stable income by assuming a low risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Balanced-or-hybrid-funds\"><\/span><strong>Balanced or hybrid funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of mutual funds scheme invest in both equity and debt instruments as per the fund\u2019s investment objective. Ergo, these offer the best of both the world &#8211; high growth via equity and a regular income through debt avenues. A typical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/hybrid-funds\/\">hybrid fund<\/a> invests 60% in equity and 40% in debt instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Based-on-speciality\"><\/span><strong>Based on speciality<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under this category, mutual funds are classified based on a special factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sectoral-or-sector-specific-funds\"><\/span><strong>Sectoral or sector-specific funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the name suggests, these types of mutual fund schemes invest in a specific sector. For instance, IT funds invest only in information technology stocks, whereas infrastructure funds invest solely in companies or instruments related to the said infrastructure sector. Besides, they can also be classified based on the segment they invest in such as mid-cap, small-cap, and large-cap. Risk and returns are tied to the nature and performance of the said sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Index-funds\"><\/span><strong>Index funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These invest in underlying instruments of a particular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/how-to-invest-in-shares\/\">stock market<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/stock-market-index\/\">index<\/a> with the objective to mirror its movement and returns. For instance, a fund may replicate the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/indices\/nifty-50-index-.NSEI?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nifty<\/a> by buying stocks that represent the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/national-stock-exchange\/\">NSE<\/a> index. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/etf-vs-index-fund\/\">Index funds<\/a> carry a medium risk because here loss is limited to the proportionate loss of the index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fund-of-funds\"><\/span><strong>Fund of funds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These invest in other mutual funds or other schemes of the same mutual fund. The benefit of such a scheme is that you can enjoy greater <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/blog\/mitigating-portfolio-risk-through-diversification\/\">diversification<\/a>, which spreads the risks across multiple schemes. The returns depend on the performance of the target mutual fund.
