Mutual funds, unlike fixed deposits, don't have tenure. You can hold it as long as the fund is operational. In a fixed deposit (FD), you decide the time and invest in a fixed tenure ranging from seven days to several years. Once the tenure is over, the amount gets credited to your bank, or you can choose the option to auto-renew it further. Unlike fixed deposits, mutual funds do not guarantee a fixed return but have the potential to give higher returns.
