Revamped Mutual Fund offering

For instance, the Mutual Fund landscape is extensive, with over 10,000 funds to choose from. Hence most users, especially new entrants in the market, find the process of ‘picking the right fund’ extremely daunting and complex.

To address this, Upstox has launched a revamped Mutual Fund offering aimed at simplifying the entire investing experience, by taking over the heavy lifting required in the process.
