Frequently Asked Questions
How should a beginner start investing in India?
Start with these steps: (1) Open a demat + trading account with a broker like Zerodha or Groww. (2) Begin a SIP of ₹500–₹5,000 in a large-cap or flexi-cap mutual fund. (3) Learn the basics of equity, debt, and mutual funds from our guides above. (4) Never invest money you might need in the next 2–3 years.
What is the difference between stocks and mutual funds?
Stocks are individual company shares — you pick one company and bear its full risk/reward. Mutual funds pool money from thousands of investors and invest in 30–100 stocks, managed by a professional. Mutual funds offer diversification and are better for beginners. Stocks offer higher potential returns but need research and monitoring.
How much money do I need to start investing?
You can start with as little as ₹100 for mutual fund SIP, ₹500 for most equity mutual funds, and any amount to buy stocks (even 1 share). There's no minimum barrier. The key is to start early and stay consistent — even ₹1,000/month for 20 years at 12% return grows to ₹10 lakh.
