DEBT
Debt investments usually are very safe and somewhat liquid. However, most of the debt products are only able to generate returns which are equal to inflation. Various options to invest in debt products are:-
Banking Products
One may invest in various banking products such as Fixed Deposits, Recurring Deposits, or simply park their money in a Savings Account. Amount invested is safe, liquid and offer returns in range of 3-7%*
Post Office Schemes
Post office deposits are very similar to fixed deposits but at times offer slightly higher interest rates. Amount invested is safe and liquid. The returns are in the range of 6-8%*

Government Small Savings Schemes
Various government schemes such as Public Provident Fund, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana offer guaranteed returns which are usually higher than what banks or post office offers. However, government schemes usually are not liquid. The returns are in range of 7-8%*

EQUITY
Equity investments are liquid but don’t offer guaranteed returns. Returns in equity investments are subject to various factors but historically they have given double digit returns in the long term.
Mutual Funds
In mutual funds, various investors pool in money in a fund which is managed by a fund manager who invests the money in securities such as stocks, bonds, etc. The combined holdings of the mutual fund is known as Portfolio. There are various types of mutual funds depending on the needs of the investor. One may invest in mutual funds via “Systematic Investment Plan” commonly known as “SIP” which works on the concept of averaging. It allows investors to to invest a fixed amount at fixed intervals as per their liking. Mutual funds are liquid but don’t offer guarantee of principal amount nor returns but have a potential to generate double digit returns in the long term.
Stocks
Stock also known as direct equity is ownership in a company. The difference between direct equity and mutual funds is in the selection process, decision making and Risk-Reward. In a mutual fund, a fund manager takes the decision and in direct equity, the investor selects the stock. The risk-reward is usually higher in stocks compared to mutual funds but mutual funds are considered safer for those investors who don’t understand the stock market. Money invested in stocks is not guaranteed, somewhat liquid but has the potential to generate higher returns compared to any other product.
