Few types of Investment avenues are discussed here.   

The financial market's function is to ensure that economic activity is enabled by providing access to funds to those that need it for consumption or productive activity. They provide a way for aggregation of funds from many investors and make it available for productive economic activity. In the absence of financial markets, such collection may not be possible. An efficient financial market ensures that the transfer of funds happens at a cost that makes it attractive for savers to save lend and for users to borrow funds. 

The financial market is flexible in choosing investment tenor and amounts such as monthly, lump sum, switching, etc. This flexibility invites investors as the investments can be started and closed at any point in time. 

Every investment can be represented as a set of inflows and outflows. Return is the comparison of inflow and outflow and, therefore, the investor's benefit from investing. 

Different avenues and investors follow another method of calculation to measure their scheme performance, such as,

• Annualized Return.

Annualized Return is a standardized measure of return on investment in which the return is computed as percent per annum (% p. a.).

• CAGR ( Compound Annual Growth Rate)

The CAGR of an investment is the underlying compound interest rate that equates the investment's end value with its beginning value.

• Tax Adjusted Return

A tax-adjusted return is the return earned after taxes have been paid by the investor.

• IAR (Inflation-Adjusted Return)

This return represents the amount that is earned over and above the inflation. 

Taking out money from any investment is a significant advantage of investing in the financial market. Its various payout systems such as Maturity, survival, cashback, surrender, Loans, etc., benefits, and Monthly income in the form of MIS (Monthly Income Scheme) Annuities enable investors to liquidate their fund at any time to use the fund in a time of needs.
