Start Investing in Mutual Funds with Ease
A mutual fund is an investment vehicle that pools money from multiple investors to create a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other assets, managed by professional fund managers. This collective approach allows investors to benefit from diversification and expert management without needing to directly manage individual securities. Returns come from dividends, interest, and capital gains from the underlying assets, and the value of the fund’s shares fluctuates based on the performance of these investments.
Types of Mutual Funds
Mutual funds may be broadly classified into the below categories
Debt Fund
Equity Fund
Hybrid Fund
ELSS
Index Fund
Mutual Funds Investment Plans
DIRECT VS REGULAR PLAN
If you invest in a mutual fund directly through the fund house’s website or app, without involving a distributor or advisor, it is referred to as a direct plan.On the other hand, if you invest in a mutual fund through a registered distributor, it is known as a regular plan.
Some of the key differences between direct and regular mutual fund plans include:
| DIRECT PLAN | REGULAR PLAN |
|---|---|
| No intermediary involved | Bought through a mutual fund distributor |
| Total expense ratio is lower than regular plan; hence Net Asset Value (NAV) & returns are higher in comparison | Total expense ratio is higher due to distribution commission; hence NAV & returns are lower in comparison |
| DIY (do-it-yourself) investment | Your financial advisor may guide with mutual fund plans, assist with transactions, monitor the portfolio, etc. |
GROWTH VS IDCW PLAN
If you choose the growth option when investing in a mutual fund, any profits earned are reinvested back into the scheme, increasing the value of your investment over time. In contrast, if you select the Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW) plan, your profits (or dividends) are distributed to you at predefined intervals.
Some key differences between growth and IDCW plans include:
| GROWTH PLAN | IDCW PLAN |
|---|---|
| Reinvested profits increase the mutual fund NAV over time | Dividends are paid out to investors, hence NAV is lower than the growth plan |
| Short or long term gains will be applied at redemption | Dividend income will be taxable as per the investor’s tax slab |
| Ideal for those focussed on long term wealth creation | Ideal for those who want periodic payouts |
