Holi represents the coming of pious prosperity.  On many festivals, we Indians donate to the Gods and the poor and pray for the prosperity of ourselves, our families and our civilisation. However, in modern times, one of the easily implementable ways for a common person to contribute to their own wealth and to the wealth of their country is to invest in a mutual fund.

Mutual funds act as a pool of funds from various individuals and entities which can then be channelled into specific investments that are likely to give high returns. This means the following – 

  1. They can help ensure that the cumulative capital of the country’s households is used for the most efficient wealth-creating purposes (including through equity investments) and is not sitting idle in a bank account (where the investment of that capital is restricted to debt instruments mostly).
  2. Therefore, they can help ensure that our country’s GDP is growing at the fastest rate possible as there is greater availability of money for businesses.
  3. Simultaneously, it creates immense wealth for all those people who invest in them, allowing them to earn even as high as 25% returns per annum, instead of the meagre 3-6% in savings and fixed deposit accounts of banks.

Keeping this in mind, the following are some of the mutual funds that you can consider investing in this holi –
