What is a Regular Savings Mutual Fund?
Regular savings mutual funds are a type of hybrid fund that invests in debt, and equity securities. According to the regulation, regular savings mutual funds are required to invest 75% to 90% of their total assets in debt securities and between 10% to 25% in equities. Investors may benefit from the relatively lower risk of debt securities and the growth potential of equities. This fund allows investors to diversify their portfolios across asset classes.
Regular savings mutual funds adopt a conservative investment strategy by primarily investing in debt securities; they are also known as conservative mutual funds. While debt securities are subject to risks such as credit risk, inflation risk and interest rate risk, they are relatively less vulnerable to market fluctuations and volatility. Through this conservative investment strategy, regular savings mutual funds aim to potentially provide regular income to investors.
Conservative hybrid funds taxation depends upon the period the units are held for. Regular savings mutual funds held for less than three years are subject to STCG tax. The potential returns earned are added to the investor's income and taxed according to their income tax slab. Conservative hybrid funds taxation for LTCG is applicable on investments held for over three years. The potential returns earned are taxed at 20%, along with indexation benefits.
