📊 What is a Mutual Fund?
A Mutual Fund is a pool of money collected from many investors and invested in stocks, bonds, or other securities by a professional fund manager. When you invest in a Mutual Fund, you buy units of the fund.
தமிழில்: Mutual Fund என்பது பல முதலீட்டாளர்களின் பணத்தை ஒன்றாக சேர்த்து, நிபுணர்கள் மூலம் பங்குச் சந்தையில் முதலீடு செய்வது. நீங்கள் நேரடியாக பங்குகளை வாங்காமல், fund-ல் units வாங்குகிறீர்கள்.
SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) regulates all Mutual Funds in India. Your money is managed by AMCs (Asset Management Companies) like HDFC, SBI, Nippon, Axis, and Mirae Asset.
📅 What is SIP?
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a method of investing a fixed amount in a Mutual Fund every month — automatically. It is the most disciplined and beginner-friendly way to invest.
Key benefits: Start with ₹500/month · Automatic deduction · Rupee cost averaging · Power of compounding · No need to time the market.
