Mutual fund investment clock returns for you in two ways — via capital gains and dividends. Making money via capital gains in the mutual market is similar to the stock market. The difference is that instead of buying a stock, you buy a mutual fund unit comprising multiple securities. As the unit price rises more than the buying price, you can sell the unit and make a profit.

Moreover, If your fund invests in equity, you also enjoy the dividends announced by the companies. You can either cash these returns or reinvest them; experts suggest doing the latter to continue the compounding process.
