Specific mutual funds
A. Sector Funds
Sector funds invest only in a specific sector, theme-based mutual fund. Since these funds invest only in specific sectors with certain shares, the risk factor is on the higher side. Investors are advised to keep an eye on trends related to various sectors. Sector funds also give excellent returns. Some sectors of banking, IT and pharma have seen huge and steady growth in recent times and are predicted to be promising in the future as well.
B. Index Fund
Best for passive investors, index funds put money into an index. A fund manager does not manage it. An index fund identifies the stock and their respective ratios in the market index and puts money in the same proportion in the same shares. Even if they can't outdo the market (that's why they're not popular in India), they play it safe by copying index performance.
C. Fund of Funds
A diverse mutual fund provides a group of investment portfolio profits, and 'Funds of Funds' is also known as multi-manager mutual funds, which are made to take advantage of this inclination - by putting their money into diverse fund categories. In short, buying a fund that invests in many funds instead of investing in multiple diversifications, keeping costs low at the same time.
D. Emerging
Market Fund.Investing in developing markets is considered a risky bet, and it has also yielded negative returns. India, in itself, is a dynamic and emerging market where investors earn higher returns from the domestic stock market. Like all markets, they are also prone to market fluctuations. Moreover, from a long-term point of view, emerging economies are expected to contribute to the majority of global growth over the next decades.etc.
E. International/International Foreign Funds
Conducive to investors spreading their investments to other countries, foreign mutual funds can give good returns to investors when the Indian stock markets perform well. An investor can employ a hybrid approach (say, 60% in domestic equity and rest in foreign funds) or a feeder approach (receiving local funds to keep them in foreign stock) or a subject-based allocation (e.g.), gold mining).
F. Global Funds
In addition to the same literal meaning, global funds are quite different from international funds. While a global fund mainly invests in markets around the world, it also includes investments in your country. The international fund focuses only on foreign markets. Diverse and universal in outlook, global funds can be quite risky due to various policies, market and currency variations, although it works as a brake against inflation and long-term returns are historically high.
G. Real Estate Fund
Despite the real estate boom in India, many investors are still hesitant to invest in such projects due to their many risks. Real estate funds can be a perfect option because investor projects are set up instead of real estate companies/companies. There will be an indirect partner by putting your money into trusts. A long-term investment negates risks and legal constraints when it comes to buying property as well as providing some amount of liquidity.
H. Commodity-centric stock funds

Shares from the rest of the purchase fund units or commodity businesses.
I. Market Neutral Fund
For investors seeking protection from adverse market trends while maintaining good returns, market-neutral funds meet the objective (like hedge funds). With better risk-optimization, these funds offer higher returns where even small investors can overtake the market without raising the portfolio limit.
J.Reverse/Reverse Leverage Fund
While a regular index fund runs in conjunction with the benchmark index, the return of an inverse index fund shift in the opposite direction. It's nothing but selling your shares when the stock goes down, only to repurchase them at a lower cost (unless the price rises again).
K. Asset Allocation Funds
Combining debt, equity and even gold in an optimal proportion, it is a very flexible fund. Based on the predetermined formula or fund manager's findings based on current market trends, asset allocation funds can regulate equity-loan distribution. It's almost like hybrid funds, but requires a lot of expertise in choosing and allocating bonds and stocks from the fund manager.
L. Gift Fund

M.. Exchange Traded Funds
