What are Mutual Funds?

A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment fund that pools money from many investors to purchase a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. The fund is managed by a fund manager who makes investment decisions on behalf of the investors. Mutual funds are a popular choice for investors because they offer diversification, professional management, and affordability.

How Mutual Funds Work

When you invest in a mutual fund, you are buying units of the fund. The value of these units, known as the Net Asset Value (NAV), fluctuates based on the performance of the underlying securities in the fund's portfolio. You can invest in mutual funds through a lumpsum investment or a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), which involves investing a fixed amount at regular intervals.

How to Use the Mutual Funds Calculator

  1. Enter the Initial Investment: This is the initial lumpsum amount you are investing.
  2. Provide the Monthly Investment (SIP): If you plan to invest a fixed amount regularly, enter it here.
  3. Set the Investment Period: Specify the number of years you plan to stay invested.
  4. Enter the Expected Annual Returns: This is the estimated rate of return you expect from your mutual fund investment.
  5. Click "Calculate" to see the projected future value of your investment.

Interpreting the Results

  • Estimated Future Value: This is the projected value of your mutual fund investment at the end of the investment period.

This calculator helps you visualize the potential growth of your wealth and plan for your financial goals.
