The success of the Bharti AXA Mutual Fund's daily investment plan (DIP), which went on to become an instant hit with investors, has encouraged L&T Mutual Fund too, to launch a similar add-on facility.
This facility would be available to investors from March 5, 2010. It enables an investor to transfer a particular amount on a day-to-day basis to several equity schemes offered by the fund house.
Under the plan, an investor would make a one-time investment in L&T’s Liquid Fund in its Regular Plan (Cumulative Option) from where it would be transferred daily into the chosen equity schemes.
Here, the equity schemes on offer are L&T Opportunities Fund, L&T Growth Fund, L&T Midcap Fund, L&T Multi-Cap Fund, L&T Hedged Equity Fund, L&T Contra Fund and L&T Global Advantage Fund.
While investors can reap the benefits of fluctuations in equity markets through this add-on, it also helps the latter in coping with market volatility.
Another advantage of such a plan is that unlike systematic investment plans (SIPs), which usually takes one month’s time to start, this one begins as soon as the investor fills up the DIP form.
No exit load would be applicable as far as L&T Liquid Fund is concerned. However, for the equity schemes on offer, one per cent exit load would be applicable if redeemed within one year, while no exit load would be applied if redeemed after a year.
