What should be my strategy regarding entry and exit load while choosing a fund to invest? What should be the maximum permissible limit?
-Rakesh Kumar
One should be aware of all costs before investing. The load is also a cost. Entry load applicable only to equity funds is avoidable if you invest directly and not through a distributor. The exit load is not avoidable as it generally a contingent load depending on your tenure of stay in a fund. You cannot choose the amount of load you pay. So you should be aware of the load and plan your investment accordingly.
