Select appropriate scheme

Explore various investment opportunities that match your risk appetite and income needs.
Debt funds: These funds offer steady returns with lower risk by investing in fixed-income securities.
Equity funds: While riskier, these provide higher returns, making them suitable for long-term growth.
Hybrid funds: These combine debt and equity to balance risk and returns.
