Investment Strategy

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.
