What is Mutual Fund?

A pooled investment that holds a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other assets.

A mutual fund pools money from many investors and a manager invests it in a diversified portfolio. SIPs are a common way to invest monthly. Returns vary with the market and aren't guaranteed.

Example

An equity index fund via SIP targets long-term returns near the market average.
