Frequently Asked Questions
A mutual fund pools money from multiple investors to invest in stocks, bonds, or other securities. It is managed by professional fund managers.
Investors buy “units” of the mutual fund. The value of these units, called net asset value (NAV), changes based on the performance of the fund’s underlying investments.
- Equity Funds: Invest in shares of companies (high return, high risk)
- Debt Funds: Invest in bonds/securities (low to medium risk)
- Hybrid Funds: Mix of equity and debt
- ELSS Funds: Tax-saving funds with a 3-year lock-in
NAV (Net Asset Value) is the price per unit of a mutual fund. It is calculated at the end of each trading day.
Mutual funds are market-linked and carry risks. However, they are regulated by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and managed professionally. It is a safe investment tool when backed by expert advice, goal-based planning, and long-term discipline.
SIPs, Investment & Portfolio Management
SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly/quarterly) into a mutual fund.
You can start SIPs with as little as ₹500/month, while lump sum investments usually start from ₹1,000 in most funds.
Yes. SIPs can be paused, modified, or canceled anytime through our support team or online platform.
Absolutely. Diversifying across fund types helps manage risk and improve returns.
There are no penalties, but missing SIP installments may impact your long-term goal progress. We recommend keeping your bank account funded.

We provide access to a digital dashboard, monthly statements, and periodic review reports.
