Debt Funds

A relatively low-risk investment option, debt funds invest in fixed-income instruments like government and corporate bonds.




Debt funds are ideal for traditional risk-averse investors.


They come in with steady returns and low-cost structures for you to start your mutual fund journey with.

Index Funds

Contrary to mutual funds that invest in the share market actively, Index Funds are passive and mimic popular market indices.


The fund manager doesn’t actively pick out stocks but instead invests assets in all the stocks making up the market index.


As stock weights change in the index, the mutual fund mimics these by buying or selling units.

Hybrid Funds

These funds invest in diverse asset classes.


For example, these schemes can invest in both equity and debt funds to balance out the risk and improve returns.
