An Overview About Equity Savings Funds
Equity savings funds seek to generate stable Income by Investing in debt instruments and aims for potentially higher returns through equity investments. Thus, these funds act as a balancing equation between both risk and return.
Ideally, arbitrage takes advantage of the difference in prices of shares in the cash and derivatives Market. Use of derivatives reduces net equity exposure (i.e., ideally 20-40 percent, though this may vary fund to fund) and usually protects investor from unstable returns.
Since, equity savings funds have 65 percent of equity exposure (without considering derivatives), they are treated under Equity Mutual Funds taxation. Equity savings funds are considered to be an ideal investment option for conservative investors who want to invest for a short-term i.e., for 1-3 years.
Investors planning to invest in these funds should take a SIP route as this eliminates the worry of timing the market. Post-retirement you can use SWP (Systematic Withdrawal Plan) option to enable pre-determine withdrawals at a periodic interval.
