Investment Types in Mutual Funds

There are 2 ways in which you can invest in Mutual Funds:

SIP or Systematic Investment Planning – In this you invest pre defined amount every month in a mutual fund using auto debit feature of your bank account. So based on the NAV (Net Asset Value) of the mutual funds you are investing in and your deposits, you get mutual funds units allocated every month

SIP helps in Rupee cost averaging – so when market goes down, you buy more units due to less price and when market goes up, your number of units allocated are less due to high price. This is advantageous compared to the lump sum amount that you pay while timing the market, as you are investing in mutual funds consistently over a period of time.
Lump sum Investing – As the name suggests, this type of investing helps you to put accumulated amount once in mutual fund. You can make lump sum investing when markets got corrected and prices of mutual funds are low in order to take the benefit of low price and accumulate more units.

If not used properly, lump sum investing can make you lose your principal amount as well to some extent when you invest during the peak days of markets, over short term. To recover from those losses, you have to wait until market recovers and goes above the price at which you bought the units.

The best investment type would be the combination of SIP and lump sum to be continued to achieve your goals over long term. It is advised to invest in mutual funds while having a goal in mind so that you can redeem the mutual funds units at the right time.

Debt Mutual Funds – Debt mutual funds are less risky compared to equity mutual funds since they invest in bonds or certificates of companies. They can give returns between 6% to 8% annually over your short to mid term goals.
Hybrid Mutual Funds – These mutual funds invest in mix of equity and debt, that’s why the name Hybrid mutual funds. Returns can be between 8% to 12% over long term. Those who don’t want to take high risk and want some exposure to debt mutual funds can invest in these types of mutual funds.
