Many people have no idea how to invest. The return and risk are different for each fund. So let's see which are the best mutual funds for beginners to invest in.

Equity Fund

Guaranteed return plans are the best plan for first-time investors. This is an equity fund for those who want to invest for the long term. These are mutual funds that invest money in shares of companies. People who want to buy a car or house for retirement, children's education or marriage, etc. can opt for this plan. They offer high tax-free returns.

Debt Fund

This is an ideal investment for those who want to invest for a short period of time. Debt funds are less affected by stock market fluctuations. Debt funds earn better returns than bank deposits. Such mutual funds invest in bonds, debentures, fixed deposits and government securities. Interest earned on these investments is earned as profit. At the same time, the risk is less than equity funds. Debt funds include instruments that provide fixed returns. Therefore, it is suitable for those who want to start investing in mutual funds.

Balanced FundBalanced funds are those that invest in both debt and equity funds. Hence they are considered balanced. The risk is low compared to other funds. Hence it is suitable for beginners. Stock market setbacks will not affect such mutual fund much. Only about 40 percent of the balanced funds will be invested in the market.
