Motilal Oswal GOLD ETF

Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online

Current open Infra Bond Application form

 
The gold fever, which caught on last year, seems to be a rage still. Though prices have tapered a little — returns from gold exchange-traded funds were down 3.5 per cent in the last three months — enthusiasm hasnt ebbed. The euphoria then is justified, as the yellow metal returned 35.59 per cent in the last one year.

Motilal Oswal Mutuals New Fund Offer (NFO) plans to tap this trend. But, the product has been tweaked slightly —investors can redeem units of gold (minimum ten grammes) directly from the fund house and get an equivalent amount of physical metal, quite similar to the National Spot Exchange that allows this through its e-series.

However, unlike banks or jewellers, who charge a premium on physical gold, the product will price the units based on the Indian spot price of the metal. In addition, there will be a value-added tax.

The minimum investment amount during the NFO will be ~10,000. The expense ratio would be up to 1.3 per cent at the moment, said Rajnish Rastogi, senior VP and cohead of equities at Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund, which is in line with the other gold ETF schemes — eleven at present —that charge between one and 1.5 per cent.

The units of the scheme will be listed both on the NSE and BSE. Investors can buy or sell the units through their trading accounts with their brokers or sub-brokers at the price quoted on stock exchanges. "When you want to redeem units, you will have to approach the fund house, furnish your PAN card details and another identity proof such as drivers licence or voters ID. It will take T+5 days to receive your gold units after putting in your request for redemption", said Rastogi.

There is no entry or exit load applicable. Since all gold ETFs give similar returns, there wont be much difference in these. The only innovation being able to buy gold cheaper than banks or jewellers - isnt a great differentiator. But, the cost difference — five to 15 per cent — can make it beneficial for the long-term saver.

Typically, it can be used by people who want to save for their childrens wedding few years down the line. A 10-15 per cent savings could be significant then.

This is like a monthly savings scheme that many jewellers such as Tanishq have, where investors can pay monthly and buy jewellery at the end of the tenure. Some jewellers even pay one or two instalments. MOSts gold ETF can be used to save gold over alonger term and then use it for making jewellery. However, as Hemant Rustagi, CEO, Wiseinvest Advisors, puts it, "The usual expenses will have to be incurred once the physical gold is given to the jeweller. Any saving, therefore, is only interim in nature." As for taxation, there will be none on redemption in the physical format. But if you sell the gold within three years, you will be levied a short-term capital gains tax in which the gains will be added to income and taxed according to your slab. And, if it is sold after three years, you can index the cost and long-term capital gains tax of 20 per cent. However, if you use it as any other gold ETF, the tax will be similar to debt instruments.

Since the advantages of the conversion to the physical format are not significant, treat this scheme like any other ETF.

The NFO for the scheme will open on March 2 and will close on March 16.

The minimum investment amount during the NFO will be ~10,000. The expense ratio would be up to 1.3 percent

Should you Roll Over 1 year Fixed Maturity Plans?

The period between January and March typically sees an uptick in the launch of fixed maturity plans, or FMPs. Not this year. Instead, fund houses are busy rolling over or extending the tenure of their one- year FMPs launched last year to three years. Investors in one- year FMPs have a choice. Either redeem units or roll over to three years. If you exit now, your gains will be added to your income and taxed in line with your individual slab rate of 10, 20 or 30 per cent. If you stay invested for two more years, you pay 20 per cent tax with indexation benefit. Yields have softened in the past few months on expectations of a rate cut. If the central bank continues its soft monetary stance, yields are likely to fall further. In such a scenario, it makes sense for investors, particularly those in the 30 per cent tax bracket, to roll over their investments and lock in at a higher yield now. In a surprise move, the Reserve Bank of India cut repo rate by 25 basis
