8. Interval schemes - A fund that combines the features of open-ended and
closed-ended schemes, making the fund open for sale or redemption during
pre-determined intervals.
Income fund schemes - A mutual fund that primarily seeks current income
rather than growth of capital. It will tend to invest in stocks and bonds that
normally pay high dividends and interest.
Equity fund scheme - A mutual fund that invests principally in stocks. It can
be actively or passively (index fund) managed.
Bond fund scheme - A mutual fund whose portfolio consists primarily of
corporate, municipal or government bonds. These funds generally emphasize
income rather than growth.
A fund invested primarily in bonds and other debt instruments. The exact type
of debt the fund invests in will depend on its focus, but investments may
include government, corporate, municipal and convertible bonds, along with
other debt securities like mortgage-backed securities.
Balanced fund scheme - A mutual
fund that buys a combination of common stock, preferred stock, bonds,
and short-term bonds, to provide both income and capital
appreciation while avoiding excessive risk. The purpose of
balanced funds (also sometimes called hybrid funds) is to
provide investors with a single mutual fund that combines both growth and
income objectives, by investing in both stocks (for growth) and bonds (for
income).
