Mutual funds became a popular in past 15-20 years, and people have now realized its importance for which the moderate risk takers and all those who want to diversify their investments look towards mutual funds as a good investment option. Stocks have always been an option in this country, but many have burned their fingers and even their homes due to less information about the option or due to wrong guidance. Real estate as an investment option has become public in past decade very strongly.
