What are various options available for investment?
A well-diversified portfolio is a balanced portfolio and it should not only give returns but also beat inflation.
Risk and return are directly related to each other. The more risk you are willing to take, there is chance of getting a higher return.
Whenever we are looking for investment plans, we should focus more on the risk-adjusted return.
Investment options are of two types:
1) Market-linked products
2) Fixed-income products
