Equity Funds

Equity funds are investment vehicles that pool money from many investors to buy shares of publicly traded companies. By investing in equity funds, individuals can own a diversified portfolio of stocks, which helps spread risk compared to buying individual stocks. These funds are managed by professionals who decide which stocks to buy or sell, aiming to grow the investment over time. Equity funds can be categorized by size (large-cap, small-cap), sector (technology, healthcare), or investment strategy (growth, value), making them suitable for various financial goals and risk tolerances.
