Get customized mutual fund portfolio recommended by our advisory team

Investing in Mutual Funds is the talk of the town, after all it does help you in achieving your financial goals — be it wealth creation or capital protection.

With over 11,000+ mutual fund schemes available in India, many of you often ask us which fund should I invest in?

Introducing Investment Packs on Paytm Money — with this we solve the crucial problem of identifying the right combination of mutual fund schemes that are best suited for your risk taking ability.

To help you find the right Investment Pack for you, we provide you with a free risk assessment that tells you whether you are a:

  • Low Risk Investor: You do not wish to take any investment risk and your priority is to protect your capital.
  • Conservative Investor: While you like to preserve your capital, you don’t mind some fluctuation in your portfolio value.
  • Moderate Investor: You prefer a consistent growth pattern with few fluctuations.
  • Growth Investor: You are willing to take moderately high risk with your money to achieve potentially high returns.
  • Aggressive Investor: You want to achieve long term growth and are comfortable with loss in the short term.

Once you take the risk assessment & you are aware of your risk appetite, you can pick the Investment Pack that is suited for you.

A typical investment pack usually:

  • consists of 3–5 mutual fund schemes
  • has an asset allocation of debt-equity based on risk profile
  • has an option to invest via SIP or lump sum mode
Large Pack
  • includes large packs with minimum investment amount of Rs. 5,000
Mini Pack
  • includes mini packs with minimum investment amount of Rs. 2,000

“Our focus with Paytm Money has always been to add incremental investors to the Mutual Fund industry. While we offered our investors a simple and seamless investment execution service along with easiest SIP management, there was always a question our new investors had — where do I invest? With Investment Packs, we aim to solve this gap by offering all investors on Paytm Money these custom advisory portfolios and make investing simpler even for first time investors.” said Pravin Jadhav, Whole-Time Director of Paytm Money.
