New Delhi: In India, millions of investors have put their money on mutual funds, one of the most popular investment instruments in India. Investors can easily invest every month in a mutual fund systematic investment plan (SIP) and watch their money grow with each investment.
Since mutual funds investments are linked to equity markets, investors get similar returns to stock investments. However, this means that your investments are also subject to market risks, and in case of bearish trends, you could also lose money.
Therefore, it is advised that investors should keep investing in mutual funds for longer time periods. You can set your mutual fund goals before investing. The practice ensures that your money grows continuously.
