A mutual fund is an investment vehicle that pools money from multiple investors to invest in diversified assets like stocks, bonds, or other securities, managed by professional fund managers.
Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly/quarterly) in mutual funds, helping build wealth over time through compounding.
SIP involves investing small amounts regularly, reducing risk through market averaging, while lump sum is a one-time investment suitable when market conditions are favorable.
Mutual funds are regulated and relatively safe, but they are subject to market risks. The level of risk depends on the type of fund you choose.
Bonds are fixed-income instruments where you lend money to an issuer (government or company) in exchange for regular interest payments and principal repayment at maturity.
