5 reasons why Mutual Funds are like buffets

Join the investment game by trying a bit of everything. Mutual Funds are a great option to consider if you’re like that hungry foodie who needs a taste of every dish.

They Come With A Good Spread


When it comes to investing, diversification is always a good way to balance risk and reward in your portfolio. Mutual Funds are exactly that, offering a varied selection of investments so you don’t need to pick them individually.

You Can Choose One To Suit Your Taste


Mutual Funds let you invest across a wide range of markets, industries and sectors. They also come with varying risks and rewards so you can always find something to suit your appetite:

  1. Debt Funds : Funds that invest in fixed income securities like bonds & treasury bills which payout a fixed amount on a fixed schedule
  2. Equity Funds: Mutual funds that invest primarily in stocks
  3. Hybrid Funds: These funds allow you to invest in a combination of equity and debt
Its Put Together By Professional


A fund manager takes care of your unit trust investments – watching the market, selecting investments and adjusting the mix continuously. With access to investment information and research, he can decide on the fund’s strategy and make sharp long-term decisions to manage the funds.

You Get Variety At Affordable Prices


Buffets offer a huge variety at a price significantly lower than if you had ordered all the items à la carte. Similarly, unit trusts enable you to invest in a suite of assets that can include blue-chip stocks at an affordable price, starting from as little as Rs.500 per month.

Cash Out When You Have Had Your Fill


It’s entirely up to you. Most unit trusts are not locked in for a definite period, and can be sold and converted into cash at any time. So, invest as much as you are comfortable with, using a timeframe that suits you.

Get your first bite

You can choose any of the following options to start investing in Mutual Funds

  1. Give yourself a head start
    Jump the queue and get into it with a lump sum from your bonus, inheritance or savings.
  2. Grow steadily
    Add to the pot with regular monthly contributions via a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP)
