What is difference b/w mutual fund & equity fund?
                     
 




personal_finance_101
They are pretty much the same thing. You are probably thinking of the difference between a stock (equity) fund and bond or other type of fund. It is just a difference of what the fund is invested in.


Happy to help
Mutual funds are open ended funds that have NAV reported usually daily.
An equity fund is a broad catagory in which you may find mutual funds and other vehicals to invest which I explain in the next paragraph. Equity funds invest in equities such as US stocks or International Stocks. The term equity relates to stocks.
As to types there Open end funds (mutual funds), Closed end, UITs and a ETFs. Some closed end fund trade on the open market others just report NAV like mutual funds. They generally have a very specific group of investments in them and expire at some point in time 15 months for example, at that time the investments are added up to determin value. UITs are similar to closed end funds but are not actively traded they are bought of their investment objective held for that period of time and then expire. And finally ETFs these match an index some are well known indexes like S&P 500 or unknown like the solar power index. These have NAVs but trade daily popular ones are SPY S&P 500, DIA Dow 30, and QQQQ NASDAQ.

This may or may not answer your question. There are multiple types of mutual funds. Among those types are closed end funds and open end funds. The closed end funds trade like stocks or equities. They may or may not trade at asset value. They are listed on the exchanges just like stocks.

open ended funds are not sold on exchanges. They are sold by mutual fund companies and trade at net asset value. They are purchased and redeemed directly from the mutual fund company.

mutual fund is with others.
equity fund could be alone or with others but the sum profit depends on your input.

There is no difference between Mutual fund and equity fund both are mutual fund.Equity fund are sub part of Mutual fund.Basically mutual funds are of three types Debt fund(investment is in fixed deposits,govt. bonds or fixed income scheme), Equity fund(investment is in equtiy only) and Balanced fund(mix of equity and debt)


curiosity_unbounded
Mutual Funds are funds where money is pooled from investors and then the pooled money is invested in various ways.

If most of the pooled money is put into equities, then the resulting mutual fund is a equity fund.

If most of the pooled money is put into investments in debt instruments such as bonds, then it is called a debt fund.

In other words, mutual fund is a general category of which equity fund is a sub category.

Hope this helps .....
