Mutual funds
A mutual fund is an investment avenue that pools money from multiple investors to create a professionally managed portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other securities. It offers access to diversified investments and expert fund management.
Instead of selecting individual assets directly, investors participate through mutual funds, guided by professional fund managers. These funds are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to ensure transparency and protect investor interests.
Each investment is divided into units, and the value per unit is known as the Net Asset Value (NAV), which is calculated daily. With various schemes designed for different financial goals, mutual funds offer a simple, smart, and efficient way to invest.
Whether you’re planning for long-term goals or seeking to grow your savings steadily, mutual funds offer a flexible and transparent path to building wealth.

At Linac, we assist investors in understanding, choosing, and investing in mutual fund schemes that match their financial goals and risk appetite, making investing easier, smarter, and more accessible for everyone.
Types of Mutual Funds
Understanding the different types of mutual funds can help investors choose schemes that align with their financial goals, risk appetite, and investment horizon. Here are the main categories:
Equity Funds
These funds primarily invest in shares of companies and are suitable for investors seeking long-term capital growth. They include sub-categories like large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, and multi-cap funds, each focusing on different segments of the stock market.
Debt (Income) Funds
Debt funds invest in fixed-income instruments such as bonds, government securities, and money market instruments. They aim to provide regular income with relatively lower risk compared to equity funds.
Hybrid or Balanced Funds
These funds invest in a mix of equity and debt instruments, balancing growth and stability. They include types like arbitrage funds, dynamic asset allocation funds, and multi-asset allocation funds.
Index & Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
These passively managed funds track specific indices like the Nifty or Sensex. They aim to replicate the performance of the index and are known for their low cost and transparency.
Gold & Silver Funds
These funds invest in gold and silver assets or related instruments, offering investors a way to include precious metals in their portfolio without holding them physically.
International Funds
These invest in overseas markets, giving investors exposure to global companies and economies. They are ideal for diversification beyond domestic opportunities.
Who Is It For?
Mutual funds are for everyone, whether you’re just starting out or already planning your next big financial goal. With options for every risk level, time horizon, and budget, mutual funds make investing accessible to:
- Beginners looking for simple, guided investment options
- Busy individuals who want professional fund management
- Savers planning for goals like a home, education, or retirement
- Investors seeking diversification and long-term growth
No matter your age, income, or experience, there’s a mutual fund that fits.
Why It Matters?
Mutual funds bring together everything that makes investing smart and stress-free: safety, flexibility, expert guidance, and long-term growth. Here’s why they stand out:
- Experts Handle Your Money: Your investments are managed by professionals who know the markets and make smart decisions on your behalf.
- Shared Risk: Mutual funds spread your money across different assets to reduce risk and balance returns.
- Start Small, Grow Big: You can begin investing with just ₹500 through SIPs, without any need for big savings or deep market knowledge.
- High Liquidity: Most mutual funds let you withdraw anytime, offering easy access to your money when needed.
- Something for Everyone: Whether you want to save on taxes, grow your money, or invest for the future, there’s a fund that fits your goal.
- Safe and Well-Regulated: All mutual funds are monitored by SEBI to ensure transparency, rules, and investor protection.
In short, mutual funds make investing easy, safe, and rewarding; no matter your age, income, or experience.
How To Invest in Mutual Funds
Investing in mutual funds is simple and flexible. There are two main ways to get started:

1. Lump Sum Investment
A lump sum investment means putting in the entire amount at once. It’s suitable for investors who have a larger amount of money ready to invest and are comfortable with market timing.
2. SIP – Systematic Investment Plan
A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) enables you to invest any desired amount at regular intervals—monthly, quarterly, or as per your preference—offering a disciplined and flexible approach to long-term wealth creation.
SIP is a disciplined way to invest small amounts in mutual funds at regular intervals, helping form a saving habit while spreading your investments over time.
Why SIP Works Well:
- Makes investing more affordable and consistent
- Helps reduce the impact of market ups and downs
- Encourages long-term wealth creation through the power of compounding
No need to time the market or predict the best entry point

Understanding SIP through Rupee Cost Averaging
Let’s say you invest ₹2,000 every month through a SIP:
| Month | NAV (Price per Unit) | Amount Invested | Units Purchased |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | ₹20 | ₹2,000 | 100 units |
| Feb | ₹25 | ₹2,000 | 80 units |
| Mar | ₹16 | ₹2,000 | 125 units |
| Apr | ₹18 | ₹2,000 | 111.11 units |
Calculated SIP
Calculate returns on your monthly SIP investments. Get a rough estimate on your final maturity amount.
Total Invested: ₹8,000
Total Units Bought: 416.11 units
Average Cost per Unit: ₹8,000 ÷ 416.11 = approx. ₹19.22
Even though the NAV fluctuated, your average purchase price was lower than some of the higher market prices. That’s the benefit of rupee cost averaging; it smooths out the highs and lows of the market over time.
Whether you choose to invest all at once or step-by-step through SIP, both methods can help grow your wealth, based on your financial goals and comfort.
Linac is here to guide you at every step.
Cost of delay in SIP investments
When doing investment, always follow the golden rule of investment: “Start Early”. Any delay, even for small time e.g. 3 months or 6 months, can substantially impact your return on investment. Let’s understand through an example.
SIP Investment of a small amount of Rs. 10000/month, with different investment period (due to delay in start of SIP), will substantially impact your return on investment.
| Monthly SIP Investment | Investment Period (Yrs.) | Expected Rate of return (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 10000 | 20 | 12 |
| Investment Period | Maturity Amt. (In lac) | Notional Loss (In Lac) |
|---|---|---|
| Start Today | 99.91 | |
| 1 Month Delay | 98.83 | 1.09 |
| 6 Months Delay | 93.54 | 6.38 |
| 1 year Delay | 87.53 | 12.38 |
| 2 Years Delay | 76.54 | 23.37 |

As we have observed, delay in investment means-
- Loss of opportunity to earn higher returns.
- Same amount of SIP invested with different time start yield very different returns. If we delay, then to get same returns, more amount is to be invested.
- In long term, even a small delay of 6 months in SIP initiation, may result in substantial reduction in yield.
