I searched for a mutual fund, but several similar names appeared. Why are they so confusing, and what does the fund name actually mean?

Mutual fund names often look similar because they include key details about the fund’s structure. Let’s understand with Axis Bluechip Fund Direct Growth:
•Axis: Refers to the Asset Management Company (AMC) managing the fund, like SBI, HDFC, or ICICI. The AMC ensures the fund's operation and performance.
•Bluechip: Represents the category. Bluechip funds invest in stable, large-cap companies. Other categories include Mid Cap, Small Cap, or Flexi Cap, each defining the type of companies the fund focuses on.
•Direct: Signifies a direct plan with no intermediaries, offering lower expenses than Regular plans.
•Growth: Indicates reinvestment of returns for compounding. If "IDCW" is mentioned, it means periodic payouts.
This naming convention simplifies fund selection by clearly stating its features.
