What costs does one incur while redeeming Mutual Fund units?

Open-ended Mutual funds allow investors to free-of-charge redeem their units after a set length of time. An exit load is imposed on an investor who intends to redeem his or her units before the end of the specified time. If investors sell their mutual fund investments before completing a set period of time in the fund, they will be charged an exit load. This is intended to deter short-term investors from investing in funds that require a long-term holding period. Exit loads are frequently not present in liquid funds.



If units are redeemed before the specified time in the Scheme Information Document, exit loads are paid as a percentage of the NAV. If an investment is redeemed before one year, say a scheme has a 1% exit load. If the scheme's NAV is INR 100 and you redeem your investment before a year, you will only receive INR 99 per unit of your holding since the fund house will remove 1% for premature redemption.

You may also be subject to capital gains tax, which is determined by the type of investment you made and the length of time you held the investment, i.e. short-term or long-term capital gains tax. STT applies to equity-oriented recreational transactions as well (Securities Transaction Tax). You pay STT each time you purchase or sell units from these funds, which adds up to the total cost of your transaction.

What are the Benefits of a Regular Plan in Mutual Funds?

Image
  A regular plan coexists with a direct plan, owing to the fact that direct plans were developed after the regular ones. Previously, we had just routine plans. Direct plans were created afterward for knowledgeable investors who wanted to pick their own funds without paying for expert assistance. The reasons why the regular plans continue to exist alongside the direct ones include: 1. Incentive for distributors to increase business: An AMC does not have enough personnel to personally reach out to the general public and convince them to invest. If a distributor is provided a financial incentive in the form of a commission, they will approach and convince more individuals. 2. Ignorance : Some people are unaware that a direct plan exists. They assume that buying a mutual fund requires going via a distributor. 3. Expertise: Becoming an informed investor takes time. Not everyone can do it as well as a professional. As a result, for some people, the extra money spent on guidance is

What is Net Asset value (NAV)?

Image
The performance of a Mutual Fund's strategy is measured by its Net Asset Value (NAV). NAV stands for net asset value, which is the market value of the securities held by the scheme. Mutual funds put the money they collect from investors into the stock market.  Because the market value of assets fluctuates every day, the NAV of a scheme fluctuates as well. On any given day, the NAV per unit is calculated by dividing the market value of a scheme's securities by the total number of units in the scheme. In compliance with SEBI Mutual Fund Regulations, the NAVs of all Mutual Fund schemes are declared at the end of the trading day after markets have closed.
