Investment Strategy

The scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and income generation by investing in a dynamically managed portfolio of equity & equity related instruments and fixed income and money market instruments.

Suitability

"When you invest for five years or more, you can expect gains that beat the inflation rate as well as returns from fixed income options. But be prepared for ups and downs in your investment value along the way.

Dynamic Asset Allocation or Balanced Advantage funds invest your money in equity shares and bonds though their proportions are not fixed. The fund management team may increase of decrease the allocation to equity shares depending upon their market outlook.

These funds tend to fall less than pure equity funds when the stock markets decline because of their debt allocation. This makes them suitable for conservative equity investors.

Like for all equity-linked investments, you must invest only through the SIP route. Click here to read a primer on SIP investing.

Warning: Do not invest in this, or any other dynamic asset allocation fund, if you need to redeem your investment in less than five years."

Capital Gains Taxation

The following tax treatment is based upon last 12-months asset allocation and may vary from other funds in the category.

  • 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.

Disclaimer: The tax information has been prepared on a best-effort basis using information available in the public domain and other sources that Value Research considers reliable. This is not meant as tax advice, and we advise you to consult your tax advisor before making any decision. Value Research takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any loss or damage arising from any investment or redemption decision based on this information.

Dividend Taxation

  • Dividends are added to the income of the investors and taxed according to their respective tax slabs. Further, if an investor's dividend income exceeds Rs. 10,000 in a financial year, the fund house also deducts a TDS of 10% before distributing the dividend.
