What is an Overnight Fund?
An overnight mutual fund is a type of debt fund that invests in securities with a maturity period of 1 day. At the start of each business day, the Asset Under Management (AUM) is in cash; bonds that mature overnight are purchased, and the cycle continues. Overnight funds offer investors the opportunity to invest their idle funds for a short period of time and potentially make some profit with minimal risk involved.
Due to their short investment horizon, overnight fund returns are relatively lower. However, these funds may be beneficial for investors seeking a short-term investment. Moreover, overnight debt funds are highly liquid, and investors can redeem their investments whenever required. Additionally, overnight liquid funds do not have any entry or exit load and the investor’s assets can be easily accessed during an emergency.
Overnight mutual funds primarily invest in highly liquid debt and money market instruments. Consequently, these funds are categorised as a low-risk investment option. The short investment horizon makes these funds less vulnerable to market volatility and interest rate fluctuations. However, all mutual funds are subject to risks and are not completely risk-free.
Overnight debt funds are subject to taxation, similar to debt funds. Units held for over three years are subject to LTCG at 20% with indexation benefits. Units held for less than three years are classified as Short Term Capital Gains. Profits are added to the investor’s income and taxed according to the investor’s income tax slab.
