What are Solution Oriented Schemes?

Solution oriented schemes are helpful for those investors who wish to create long-term wealth that mainly includes retirement planning and a child’s future education by investing in Mutual Funds. Earlier, these plans were a part of equity or balanced schemes, but as per SEBI’s new circulation, these funds are separately categorised under solution oriented schemes.

Also, these schemes used to have a lock-in for three years, but now these funds have a mandatory lock-in of five years. This is ideally a good way to keep investors invested for a longer duration in order to attain these investment goals. It maintains discipline in investments.
