Understand why millions trust mutual funds for wealth creation
💡 What Is a Mutual Fund — Really?
A mutual fund collects money from multiple investors and invests in a diversified set of assets like stocks and bonds, managed professionally. It’s like owning a small piece of many investments without managing them yourself.
🔐 Why Mutual Funds Are Nearly Fraud-Proof
- Trust-Based: Money goes to a Trust with independent oversight.
- Escrow Accounts: Collected in SEBI-controlled accounts.
- RTAs: Transactions recorded by third-parties like CAMS.
- Custodians: Hold your investments.
- SEBI: Regulates and audits everything.
📊 Where Does Your Money Go?
- You invest online.
- Money goes into Escrow via Trustee.
- RTA confirms units and NAVs.
- AMC allocates as per scheme rules.
- Assets held securely by Custodian.
🎯 Fund Objectives: The Guardrails
- Large-cap: Top 100 companies
- Debt: Bonds and fixed income only
- Thematic: Sector-specific investments
- Deviation? Penalized by SEBI.
