Investment Strategy

The scheme seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing predominantly in equity and equity related securities of Indian companies engaged in the banking and financial services.

Suitability

Nobody should invest in Banking funds in our opinion, because:

  • They have a narrow focus on only financial services companies
  • Instead, diversified equity funds which invest across sectors are better

If you still choose to invest:

  • Invest only through SIP
  • Have a 7+ year investment horizon
  • Be prepared to withstand interim sharp declines in investment value

Capital Gains Taxation

  • If the mutual fund units are sold after 1 year from the date of investment, gains upto Rs 1.25 lakh in a financial year are exempt from tax. Gains over Rs 1.25 lakh are taxed at the rate of 12.5%.
  • If the mutual fund units are sold within 1 year from the date of investment, entire amount of gain is taxed at the rate of 20%.
  • No tax is to be paid as long as you continue to hold the units.
