What should be the investment horizon for Multi-Asset Allocation Funds?

  • The tax implication depends on the portfolio composition

  • If the Multi-Asset Allocation Fund has a minimum of 65% exposure to equity, it is eligible for equity taxable

  • Returns earned after 12 months would be tax-free up to Rs.1 lakh

  • Excess returns would attract a 10% tax

  • If the Multi-Asset Allocation Fund does not have a minimum of 65% equity exposure, it would attract debt taxation

  • The returns earned are taxed at your income tax slab rates

  • Dividends earned, if any, from either equity or debt-oriented funds are taxed at your income tax slab rate

What are the payout options?

  • Dividend option

    Earn dividends on your investment at regular intervals

  • Growth option

    Accumulate the returns over the investment tenure and get a lump sum amount on redemption

Who should invest in conservative hybrid funds?

FAQs On Multi-Asset Allocation Funds

Multi-Asset Allocation Fund is a type of hybrid mutual fund which invests the funds in a diversified portfolio with at least 10% of the value in three or more classes of assets as per the guidelines issued by SEBI. Multi-Asset Allocation Funds as its name suggests typically have allocation to multiple assets including debt instruments, equity instruments and another class of asset such as gold, commodities, real estate, etc. The goal is to provide a balance between return and risk by diversifying the portfolio across different asset classes.

Diversification in multi-asset allocation helps lower the risk of volatility in any asset class. Investing in a mix of different asset classes, such as equity, debt and other assets, aims to decrease the impact of poor performance in any single asset category. Diversification helps to enhance the overall returns of the portfolio and manage risk.

The taxation of Multi-Asset Allocation Funds depends on the holding period and type of mutual fund scheme you have invested in. If the fund's equity exposure is higher than 65%, it is taxed as an equity-oriented fund. Similarly, if the debt allocation is higher, it is taxed as a debt fund. Equity-oriented funds with a holding period of less than 12 months are taxed at 15% as short-term capital gains , and for a holding period of more than 12 months, are taxed at 10% with an exemption of up to Rs. 1 lakh as long-term capital gain. Debt-oriented funds having a holding period of less than 36 months are short-term capital gains taxed at the applicable income tax slab rate, and those having a holding period of more than 36 months are taxed as long-term capital gain at 20% with indexation benefits.

Exit load vary for mutual funds. Multi-Asset Allocation Funds generally have an exit load of 1-2% for redemptions made within a specified period. Check the exit load applicability and charges before investing.

Investors can withdraw/redeem their Multi-Asset Allocation Fund at any time. However, check the exit load charges which might be applicable for early redemption or redemption within the specified lock-in period, if any.
