Retirement mutual funds, besides the other conventional investment options, including NPS, PPF and EPF among others, offer a mix of both equity and debt allocation. These funds typically come with a lock-in of 5 years or till the retirement age more than the lock-in term in the case of ELSS or equity linked savings scheme.
