Understanding Fund Categories

Not all mutual funds are created equal. In Pakistan, mutual funds are classified into distinct categories based on what they invest in — and each category carries a different level of risk and return potential.

Whether you are looking for aggressive growth through equity funds, steady income through bond funds, or the safety of money market funds, there is a category that matches your financial goals. Understanding these categories is the first step to building a portfolio that works for you.

This chapter breaks down each major fund type available in Pakistan — equity, income, money market, balanced, and index funds — with real examples from Pakistani AMCs, so you know exactly what you are buying.

This chapter is coming soon. Check back for the full guide covering all fund types with Pakistani AMC examples, risk-return profiles, and recommendations by investor type.
