in other mutual fund schemes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your investment objectives, a mutual fund scheme can invest both in debt and equity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, instead of investing directly in equities or bonds, the fund manager holds a portfolio of other mutual funds. Funds can invest in schemes of the same fund house or another fund house. Investment in numerous fund categories offers investors the opportunity to benefit from diversification. The portfolio is designed to meet investor risk profiles and financial goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kuvera.in\/explore\/fixed-deposit\/c\/all\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13417 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kuvera.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/FD-Banner_14-July-2022-1024x334.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kuvera.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/FD-Banner_14-July-2022-1024x334.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kuvera.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/FD-Banner_14-July-2022-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kuvera.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/FD-Banner_14-July-2022-768x250.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kuvera.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/FD-Banner_14-July-2022.jpg 1080w\" alt=\"Online Fixed Deposits on Kuvera\" width=\"640\" height=\"209\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Fund_of_Funds\"><\/span>Types of Fund of Funds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few of the most popular Fund of Funds available in India are:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Asset_Allocation_Funds\"><\/span>Asset Allocation Funds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asset allocation funds invest in a variety of assets.
