Fund managers do account management
NPS is the Social Security Scheme of the Central Government. The money you invest in this scheme is managed by professional fund managers. The Central Government gives this responsibility to these professional fund managers. In such a situation, your investment in NPS is completely safe. However, the return on the money you invest under this scheme is not guaranteed. According to financial planners, NPS has given an average return of 10 to 11 percent annually since its inception.
