Unlisted Shares vs Mutual Funds.

"Kya aapke paas balanced advantage funds nahi hai?" The previous question is a part of one of the most famous Indian advertisements on mutual funds. Even if you are unfamiliar with the advertisement, you would know how enormous the popularity of mutual funds in India is. Especially Equity mutual funds. Before you wonder why I said so, here is a snapshot from the Mint dated January 11, 2022. 

Equity Funds are mutual fund schemes that invest their assets in stocks of various firms based on the underlying scheme's investment aim. These funds are a wise option for capital growth to create long-term wealth. Equity funds are a solid opportunity for those who wish to invest for the long term to be exposed to the rewards and vulnerabilities of the stock market. 

And why will they not be the favorites? The highest return generated by a large-cap direct plan equity mutual fund in 5 years is 21.12%. Furthermore, the highest return recorded by the mid-cap and small-cap direct plan mutual fund for the same period is 24.71% and 25.13%, respectively. I believe that this data is enough to lure laypeople into investing in an equity-oriented mutual fund scheme. But what if I told you that there is an avenue that can generate exponentially more returns than the before-mentioned one? Well, amicis’! I have reiterated this a thousand times now that Unlisted Shares are the missing part in your portfolio's puzzle. It's high time you realize it!
