Frequently Asked Questions

A mutual fund is a professionally managed collective investment vehicle that pools money from thousands of investors to invest in equities, government securities, corporate bonds, or money market instruments according to the scheme's mandate.

For building resilient long-term wealth, the top 3 core categories in India are: 1. Flexi Cap Funds (dynamic equity allocation across Large, Mid & Small cap leaders), 2. Large & Mid Cap Funds (balanced blend of stability and high earnings growth), and 3. Balanced Advantage / Dynamic Asset Allocation Funds (automatic equity-debt shifts for lower downside volatility).

A SIP is an automated method of investing a fixed sum on a monthly or quarterly schedule. It enforces financial discipline, eliminates the need to time market tops and bottoms through Rupee Cost Averaging, and harnesses exponential compounding over 10–20+ years.

No. SIP is a transaction mechanism, not a separate asset class. The money you invest via SIP is allocated into underlying market-linked securities (like stocks or bonds), which fluctuate in value based on market dynamics.

You can start with as little as ₹500 to ₹1,000 per month. The ideal amount depends on your monthly cash surplus, current liabilities, and target milestone (e.g. ₹1 Crore retirement corpus or children's education fund).

A lumpsum is a single one-time investment. If you have a sizable surplus (such as a bonus or property sale), deploying it into equity all at once during high market valuations can be risky. A Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) parks the lumpsum in a safe liquid/overnight fund and transfers fixed chunks into equity schemes monthly.

Instead of chasing random scheme returns, goal-based investing links each mutual fund investment to a specific milestone (e.g. Buying a home in 7 years, Child's MBA in 12 years, Retirement in 20 years), selecting asset classes that match each goal's timeline and risk capacity.

We recommend an annual comprehensive portfolio review to evaluate scheme performance against benchmark indices, rebalance asset allocation, and adapt to any changes in your personal income, liabilities, or goal timelines.

A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) lets you withdraw a chosen amount from a mutual fund at regular intervals, which can be useful for retirement and other planned income needs. An SWP is not tax-free: each withdrawal is a redemption, and generally only the capital-gain portion of the redeemed units is taxable. The applicable tax depends on the fund type, holding period and prevailing tax rules. Because only the gain component is generally considered for capital-gains taxation, a well-structured SWP can be more tax-efficient than treating the entire withdrawal as taxable income in some situations. PlantMoneyGrow can help design an SWP around your required monthly income, corpus, withdrawal rate, asset allocation, cash-flow needs and periodic review—while considering market risk and applicable tax rules.
