FAQs on Open Ended Mutual Funds
Yes, since open ended funds are available for subscription throughout the year, you can start a systematic investment plan in an open ended fund. This will provide multiple benefits – firstly, since you are investing via a systematic plan, you can start with as little as ₹100. Secondly, you can leverage the power of Rupee Cost Averaging which isn’t possible when you invest a lumpsum amount.
Open-ended schemes are highly popular among retail investors since they allow SIPs. Investors seeking high liquidity should opt for open-ended funds since they are open for purchase and redemption throughout the year. To further bi-furcate open ended funds, large cap funds are ideal for conservative investors whereas mid and small cap funds would be apt for aggressive investors with a long term investment horizon.
There is no lock-in period for open-ended schemes. Investors can enter and exit anytime. This helps them in various ways, such as Rupee Cost Averaging, starting small with just ₹100, avoid timing the market, all of which is not possible with close ended funds.
When you exit from an open-ended mutual fund, the value of your units is calculated based on the net asset value (NAV) of the scheme, on the day of redemption. Net asset value is calculated as total assets minus total liabilities divided by total number of units issued.
In open-ended mutual funds, there are exit loads (charges) if an investor exits the fund within a preset period, typically, one year in the case of equity funds. For short-term debt funds, the exit load period is typically less than 6 months whereas for liquid funds, the exit load period is 15 days to 30 days.
