There are several types of Mutual Funds:

Sector-based: These invest only in a particular sector Eg. IT, Telecom, Petrochemical, etc

Index-based: These invest only in the Index i.e. BSE Sensex, NSE Sensex. Their valuation is based on the value of the Index and not directly on any particular share.

Growth-fund:They generally invest in equity across sectors and try to maximise their gain wherever possible.

Mid-cap/ Small-cap Fund: They invest only in mid-cap or small-cap companies. Though the returns can be very high, so are the risks.

Balance Fund: They invest both in debt and equity so as to provide good growth through equity and safety but low returns through debt.

Mutual funds are companies who invest in stock market. They float schemes; collect money; invest in markets; charges the investors a percentage for maintenance of the funds and give returns to investors.

Usually, Investors who do not have technical knowledge on investing in stocks or investors who are risk averse go to Mutual funds. Since mutual funds invest in a portfolio of stocks, the risk of investing in mutual funds is considerably lesser as compared to invest in stock market directly.

Mutual fund is a fund thats invests in equitiy or debt on behalf of its investors. A mutual fund builds a corpus by raising money from individual investors. It then invests this amount in the stock market or in debt instruments. Mutual funds can be broadly classified into equity oriented or debt oriented funds depending upon the instruments they invest in. Equity funds are among the best investment options available to individual investors globally with returns in the range of 20 to 30 percent per annum. In India, HDFC offers some of the best equity funds available in the market. Equity funds can be further classified into diversified equity funds or sector specific funds depending on the nature of their portfolio. A diversified fund is generally the better option since its portfolio is diversified across various sectors. If you want to start investing in equity funds try HDFC Taxsaver Fund.

In it's most basic form, a mutual fund is nothing more than a company that takes the money of individual investors and invests that cash in a variety of securities. These securities are usually stocks, bonds, money markets, or a combination of all three.

The investors usually take the form of stockholders in the company. They have a "pro rata" share of any profits made when the securities are sold, but they also agree to absorb any losses.

There are two big advantages to investing in a mutual fund. The first is that professionals will manage your money and take care of the record keeping. The second is that your money will be diversified into many different investments, which limits (but does not eliminate) the chances of losing your entire account.

So far as how many different kinds there are, that is pretty much impossible to answer. Not only are there an infinite variety of investments that mutual funds can put their shareholder's money into, but they all have different philosophies and goals. Some look to maximize security, while others look to increase yield over the shortest period of time. Most fall somewhere in the middle of these two extremes.

Adam Love
Mutual Fund is a financial intermediary that allows a group of investors to pool their money together with a predetermined investment objective. There are many types of mutual funds but they are basically classified into 3:
1. Equity based mutual fund (majorly into equity shares)
2. Debt based mutual fund (majorly into debt funds)
3. Balanced mutual fund (balanced between equity & debt)
