<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you expect to receive a decent pension post-retirement or look forward to leaning on your savings alone, mutual funds are the only investment instrument that can help you build a sizeable corpus for a comfortable post-retirement life. Why? Mainly because they beat the demon of inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you don\u2019t need to exclusively invest in funds that come with the \u2018retirement tag.\u2019 These funds are usually hybrid and most come with a lock-in period. If you\u2019re a disciplined investor, you can also invest in an open-end diversified scheme. Construct your retirement portfolio with a mix of equity and debt funds, rebalancing it down the line based on your risk profile and investment goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re starting early, go for aggressive equity funds; if not, dedicated retirement funds are your safest best. Nevertheless, here\u2019s a mix of the top mutual funds you should consider for your retirement portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Debt funds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you a conservative borrower? Then consider investing in debt-based funds, wherein a significant portion of the assets are invested in fixed income securities such as treasury bills and bonds. However, keep in mind that these funds work best for the short or medium-term goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given your investment objective, your investment horizon will naturally be long-term (at least 7 to 10 years). So, a good time to increase the share of these funds in your portfolio would be around the time you’re nearing your retirement, as they will offer stable returns and act as a hedge against volatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equity funds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to rising investor consciousness, many start planning and investing for their retirement in their 20s and 30s. If you\u2019re in this lot, you have a good 20+ years to meet your investment goal. In that case, equity mutual funds<\/a>, which invest a greater portion of their assets in equity and equity-related instruments, are your safest bet despite being highly risky. Why? Because the longer the horizon, the higher the returns they can generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aggressive hybrid funds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aggressive hybrid funds invest in both equity and debt instruments in proportions specified by an individual scheme’s investment objective. They are more efficient at generating wealth as opposed to vanilla balanced hybrid funds because these can take advantage of arbitrage opportunities. At least 20% of the assets are to be allocated towards debt instruments, while up to 80% can be reserved for equity instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, if you’re starting early, you should have aggressive hybrid schemes in your retirement portfolio. But it\u2019s recommended that you reduce the share of these schemes as you approach retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
