Types of Mutual Funds

  • Money Market: Lowest risk, suitable for a timeframe of less than 1 year.
  • Fixed Income: Majority allocated to bonds, suitable for 1-3 years.
  • Equity/Stock: High risk but large potential returns, for terms over 5 years.

Start with small amounts regularly (DCA) to build good investment habits.
