Apart from the 15 per cent short-term capital gain, for the first year, equity funds are largely not subject to taxation.
Volatility is lesser in case of debt funds compared to equity funds. Debt funds invest heavily in debt instruments, like debentures, corporate bonds and government securities. Almost 75 to 80 per cent of the money is invested in debt and the remaining in equity and cash.
Debt funds are subject to long-term capital gain and the profit is taxed at 10 percent without indexation or 20 per cent with indexation, whichever is lower. At present, debt funds are providing around 8 per cent returns, but the yield will go up when the interest rates come down. There were times when debt instruments gave 12 to 13 per cent yield. With the indexation, the returns from debt funds are better than POMIS and bank RDs in beating inflation.
It is also possible to make monthly investments in balanced funds, which have 65 to 70 per cent exposure in equities and the rest in debt.
Similar to equity funds, balanced funds with 65 per cent exposure to equities are subject to short-term capital gains.
There are several hybrid funds available in the market that invests in equities, debt and gold in different proportions. Balanced funds and hybrid funds are efficient in providing effective portfolio diversification. Many hybrid funds readjust their allocation in different assets according to the market conditions so that the investor makes most of the situation.
Systematic investment into gold ETFs is also getting popular among investors who have a long-term perspective on the metal. The investor can make use the of the price movement in the metal and accumulate units on a monthly basis. The units can be redeemed at the end of the tenure. Gold is often considered a good bet in the long term.
Several financial institutions and jewellers are also offering monthly investment plans in gold. Redemption in these gold accumulation schemes is often made in gold at the end of the tenure. The accumulation of gold depends upon the price movement during the tenure.
Chit funds are a popular means of credit in the semiurban and rural areas. In Kerala, the government itself runs chit funds through Kerala State Financial Enterprise. A fixed number of subscribers make monthly contribution to the fund. Each month a subscriber gets the sum assured. More than the returns, chit funds provide the subscribers easy access to capital but they are less transparent than other investment avenues and carry a bit more risk
