Let me explain it in simple words:
Investments are classified in to 3 types -
1. Cash (Fixed Deposit etc),
2. Bond (Debentures, Govt. bonds, Infrastructure bonds etc)
3. Stock (Shares traded in stock exchanges)
First 2 categories gives fixed income (interest) and safe. Stocks are highly volatile and hence in short term you can't expect a gain from it. It depends on your luck.
What this article want to say is:
If you wish to invest for a short term, go with FDs and Bonds.
If you don't want to withdraw the money immediately, go for shares, because shares give the best return over long term.
There are variety of mutual funds available with different combinations of Cash, Bond and Equity components. Only thing you need to do is to select the fund depending on your investment time span.
