    Overview of Collective Investment Schemes (CIS)

    There are various avenues available for investors to make better returns and collective investment schemes are one among them. Serving as a flexible savings option for corporate bodies and individual investors, these schemes serve the need of saving funds for future needs. This is defined as an arrangement or scheme offered by any company where contributions are made by investors to pool money which can be utilized to receive profits, property, income, or produce. These acquired assets (profits or property) are then monitored or looked after by a manager on behalf of the scheme investors. Investors do not have the day to day control over operations or management of such arrangements. In India, mutual funds and unit trusts are excluded from CIS.
