Better than Savings Account \u2013 Investors looking for capital preservation for a very short period of time (&lt;6 months) should opt for funds under this idea. These funds can also be used for parking your surplus cash pending utilization instead of keeping them in savings bank account, as they have the capability to earn higher returns than a savings bank account.<\/p>\n<p>2. Better than Fixed Deposit \u2013 The funds in this idea are suitable for low-risk taking investors who have an investment horizon of about 1 year. These funds can potentially generate higher returns compared to bank FDs.<\/p>\n<p>3. High Quality Debt Funds \u2013 This idea consists of mutual funds that are suitable for low to medium risk taking investor for a period of at least 3 years. These funds invest in high quality bonds of Banks, PSUs and Corporates thereby minimizing the credit risk for an investor. Speaking of return expectations, these funds can potentially earn higher post tax returns than a 3 -5 year FD.<\/p>\n<p>4. Index Funds \u2013 These funds track composition of popular benchmarks such as Nifty 50, Sensex etc. and are free from any fund manager bias. If you are a first time investor looking to earn equity market like returns with minimal expenses over a period of 3-5 years, then this idea is for you.<\/p>\n<p>5. Medium Risk for Medium Returns \u2013 This idea is suitable for medium risk taking investors who are looking for wealth creation by investing in a mix of equity (stocks) and debt (bonds) which provide stability to the portfolio. These funds can generate equity-like returns over a period of around 3 years.<\/p>\n<p>6. Invest in Large Companies \u2013 This idea features mutual funds that are ideal for stable wealth creation over the long term as they invest in large sized companies with a proven track record over years. These are suitable for medium risk taking investor looking at an investment period of more than 3 years.<\/p>\n<p>7. Invest in all sizes of companies \u2013 It has a collection of funds which invest across companies of all sizes &#8211; small, mid and large. This is for medium to high risk taking investors who are looking for wealth creation over a period of over 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>8. High Risk for High Returns \u2013 Top mid and small cap funds constitute this idea. These funds offer high growth potential over the long term but are volatile in the short term. So, this idea is only for high risk taking investors who are looking to earn potentially higher returns over a period of more than 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>9. Invest to save tax \u2013 As the name suggests, this idea contains mutual funds which can help you save up to INR 46,800 in taxes every year.
