Exit load in mutual fund

  Sometimes when you buy a mutual fund, you pay a small penalty at the same time. This is called an exit load. The majority of mutual fund schemes impose an exit load, although there are some that come without an exit load. Before we go ahead, remember that a fund with no exit load is no better than a fund with an exit load. Whether the exit load is imposed or not has nothing to do with the pedigree of the scheme. It is important to understand why exhaust loads are present.   Why put an exit load   Exit loads are mainly applied to discourage premature withdrawal in the mutual fund. Fund managers responsible for long-term plans will want their investors to invest in the fund for a long time. This is desirable because if too many investors exit together, the fund manager has to sell the shares in distress, to companies that are liquid, but usually mismanaged, robbing existing investors of their future growth potential. Does matter. Therefore, the fund has to put an ...

How to choose the best mutual fund

  Choosing mutual funds is not an easy task for many investors. Several categories of mutual funds, fund houses, and schemes are available. The best way to start this is for you to work on the right fund with thought and planning. While researching the best mutual funds to invest in, most new investors look at past performance.

Therefore, it is important that you choose the right fund and do not get entangled in such a fund which can result in losing both time and money.   Read the offer document carefully: One of the most comprehensive documents that each mutual fund provides is its offer document (also known as a pr...
