Gen Z investors are people born roughly between 1997 and 2012. Most Gen Z adults today are in their late teens or 20s and are starting to earn, save, and invest.

Many young investors prefer digital investing platforms because they are easy to access through phones and laptops. They also look for flexible investment options that allow small starting amounts.

For many Gen Z investors, mutual funds are one of the first market-linked investment products they explore. A mutual fund pools money from many investors and invests it in stocks, bonds, or other securities through professional fund managers at the respective AMC.

Mutual funds give you a simple way to invest in financial markets without selecting individual stocks yourself. Professional fund managers at the respective AMC manage the fund scheme according to its investment objective.

You can invest through SIP or lumpsum modes on the Bajaj Broking website. SIP allows fixed regular investments, while lumpsum means investing a larger amount at one time.

Key reasons Gen Z investors choose mutual funds

• SIP investments start from Rs. 100 per month on the Bajaj Broking website.
• Investors can choose from 4,000+ mutual fund schemes across multiple categories.
• You can invest in equity, debt, hybrid, ELSS, thematic, and NFO schemes.
• Mutual funds are regulated by SEBI and follow AMFI industry standards.
• Every fund scheme displays a SEBI-mandated riskometer from Low to Very High risk.

Types of mutual funds Gen Z investors can explore

NAV, or Net Asset Value, is the price per unit of a mutual fund scheme. It is calculated daily after market close based on the scheme’s assets and liabilities.

When you invest, you are allotted units based on the applicable NAV on the investment date. Mutual funds allot units, not company shares.

The best mutual fund for Gen Z first time investors depends on your risk level, investment period, and financial goals. Young investors often look at equity and hybrid funds because they usually invest for longer periods.

Before investing, always check the scheme objective, expense ratio, riskometer, and investment horizon. Mutual fund returns are market-linked and not guaranteed.

What should you check before choosing a fund?

The expense ratio is an annual fee charged by the AMC for managing the fund scheme. It is deducted from the NAV and not charged separately.

An exit load may apply if you redeem units before the specified holding period set by the AMC. Always check the Scheme Information Document before investing.

Starting early gives your investments more time to grow through compounding. Even small monthly SIPs can build a larger corpus over long periods.

The entire process is online and takes only a few minutes after KYC approval on the Bajaj Broking website.

1. Complete KYC using your PAN, Aadhaar, and address proof documents.
2. Create your investment account and log in to your mutual fund dashboard.
3. Choose a fund category based on your financial goal and risk level.
4. Check the SEBI riskometer before selecting a mutual fund scheme.
5. Enter your SIP amount starting from Rs. 100 per month.
6. Select an SIP date and confirm your bank auto-debit mandate.
7. Track your portfolio, orders, and SIP status through the MF Profile section.

Why does compounding matter for Gen Z investors?

Compounding means your investment earnings can also generate returns over time. Starting earlier gives compounding more years to work.

For example, investing Rs. 2,000 every month from age 22 may create a larger corpus than starting with Rs. 5,000 monthly at age 32 because of the longer investment period.

A mutual fund for beginners can help Gen Z investors start building wealth with small, regular investments. Starting early may improve the benefits of long-term compounding and disciplined investing.

You can invest through SIP or lumpsum modes depending on your financial goals and comfort with market risk. Before investing, review the scheme objective, SEBI riskometer, expense ratio, and investment period carefully.
