ABOUT THE BOOK

This book covers mutual funds, exchange traded funds, and retirements plans. While mutual funds have been a popular investment vehicle and an important component of the indirect financial market in India for two decades, their shortcomings are addressed by a new category of funds known as exchange traded funds available on stock indices and gold. Pension plans on the other hand serve as a safety net to meet the old-age requirements of the country’s growing workforce. The book covers- • Fundamentals and types of mutual funds and exchange traded funds • Services offered by mutual funds and investment strategies • Retirement plans: defined benefits plans and defined contribution plans
