With careful management, equity funds – which invest primarily in stocks – can offer significant gains from capital appreciation and dividend income.
Long-term returns
Investments in equity mutual funds are made in stocks or equity of companies. Growth in business of the company leads to stock price increase, resulting in capital appreciation for investors.
Systematic / Regular Investments
Equity mutual fund schemes avail you a facility to invest small sums at regular intervals through systematic investment plans (SIP). This also develops a regular habit of investing which is useful in long term wealth creation.
Diversified Portfolio
Equity funds have widespread diversification even with a very small initial investment. This means buying stocks of different companies over a period of time across different sectors.
