Want to earn more than what you earn normally on an FD or RD? Knew nothing about stock market or afraid of investing in stock market? You need not worry; you can still invest in stocks indirectly via Mutual funds. Let us understand about Mutual funds and how one can invest in shares via mutual funds.

MUTUAL FUND MEANING

Mutual fund is a type of investment vehicle run by a mutual fund company. These companies are run by mutual fund manages possessing high level expertise in the field of finance and stock markets. These companies pool money from various investors and invest that money in logically selected stocks and securities that are expected to provide huge return. Simply speaking you just need to provide your surplus money to these mutual fund companies and the mutual fund managers would invest your money in intelligently picked shares and other securities that provide you high returns.

ARE MUTUAL FUND COMPANIES SECURE LIKE BANKS?

Yes Mutual fund companies are highly secure. The way Banks are governed by Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in a similar way mutual fund companies are spearheaded by SEBI i.e. Securities and Exchange Board of India and Association of Mutual Funds of India (AMFI). Thus there is no doubt that dealing with mutual fund companies is secure.
