Mutual funds have proven to be one of the best ways for investors to gain exposure to both the equity and fixed income markets.

However, with so many funds on the market, it can be quite confusing for investors who are new to mutual funds.

 

As a result, in this article, we will list funds that may prove to be a good starting point. However, understanding market dynamics is important to some extent because it will help you understand which asset classes are more suitable to invest in right now.
