Income Funds
Invest a major portion into various debt instruments such as bonds, corporate debentures and
Government securities.
Liquid Funds
Also known as Money Market Schemes, provides easy liquidity and preservation of capital. Invest
in short-term instruments like Treasury Bills, inter-bank call money market, CPs and CDs.
BY NATURE
3.Balanced funds
BY INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
Growth Schemes
also known as equity schemes. The aim of these schemes is to provide capital
appreciation over medium to long term.
Income Schemes
also known as debt schemes. The aim of these schemes is to provide regular and
steady income to investors. Capital appreciation in such schemes may be limited.
Balanced Schemes
Balanced Schemes aim to provide both growth and income by periodically distributing
a part of the income and capital gains they earn. These schemes invest in both shares
and fixed income securities, in the proportion indicated in their offer documents
(normally 50:50).
OTHER SCHEMES
Tax Saving Schemes
Tax-saving schemes offer tax rebates to the investors under tax laws
prescribed from time to time. Under Sec.88 of the Income Tax Act,
contributions made to any Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) are
eligible for rebate.
Index Schemes
Index schemes attempt to replicate the performance of a particular
index such as the BSE Sensex or the NSE 50.
TYPES OF RETURN
There are three ways, where the total returns provided by mutual funds can be
enjoyed by investors:
1. Income is earned from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds. A fund pays
out nearly all income it receives over the year to fund owners in the form of a
distribution.
2. If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund has a capital
gain. Most funds also pass on these gains to investors in a distribution.
3. If fund holdings increase in price but are not sold by the fund manager, the fund's
shares increase in price. You can then sell your mutual fund shares for a profit.
Funds will also usually give you a choice either to receive a check for
distributions or to reinvest the earnings and get more shares.
