A. Debt, equity

B. Equity, debt

C. Both A and B

D. None of the above

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Equity schemes invest mainly in shares of companies and stock market instruments

These market values fluctuate frequently and are affected by market volatility, economic conditions and company performance

Therefore equity based mutual fund schemes carry higher risk

Debt schemes invest mainly in fixed income securities like bonds, government securities and treasury bills

These provide more stable returns and carry lower risk compared to equity

Hence equity schemes are seen as riskier than debt schemes

Therefore the correct answer is Option B (Equity, debt)

    The correct answer is: B. Equity, debt
    Why Equity Schemes Are Riskier Than Debt Schemes

    Equity schemes invest in stocks and shares of companies. Their returns depend on market performance, which can be volatile and unpredictable.

    Debt schemes invest in fixed-income instruments like government bonds, corporate debentures, and treasury bills. These offer more stable returns and lower risk.
