    A mutual fund can generate more monthly income than a fixed deposit when its underlying investments earn a higher return than the bank’s fixed-deposit rate.
    Its returns can also be reinvested, allowing compounding to increase future gains.
    Fixed deposits usually lock your money at a predetermined interest rate for a fixed period.
    However, a mutual fund is not automatically better—its returns are variable and can sometimes be lower than a fixed deposit.

    In terms of the word mutual funds it refers to diversification of funds. It is way better because it helps to provide fund flexibility because at anytime you can request for withdrawal and get it also you can invest in so many mutual funds and begetting returns on a daily basis but fixed deposit you can only withdraw on the said fixed date and if you want to force a withdrawal then a penalty is attached to it but for mutual funds no penalty at all. So that’s why I believe mutual funds is better.
