Have you ever stopped to wonder what money means to you? It could be something that helps you meet your basic necessities or something that helps you attain your financial goals and dreams. Or it could simply be something that gives you financial security. However, can your income be your only source of money? No, not really. You need to save and invest your money to ensure that the income you earn can generate more income and help you meet your goals. The current investment landscape offers investors a great variety of choice when it comes to choosing a suitable investment avenue. From public provident funds and bank fixed deposits to mutual funds and alternative investments, investors have the option to choose investments along the risk/return spectrum. However, recent data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) indicates that mutual funds are fast gaining popularity.
