How to Choose the right mutual fund option?

by Holistic 2 Comments | Filed Under: Mutual Funds

Everyone has some or the other kind of financial goals, no matter how big or small these might be, which they want to accomplish. Mutual Funds, here may seem an easily achievable investment option to go for;however one may still be perturbed about choosing its growth option or dividend option. The confusion may even go to the next level, with the dividend reinvestment option coming into picture. Even if one has the right fund option in mind, he/she may think of additional factors like making the optimum asset allocation, and accessing the risk appetite.

The selection of the right mutual fund option is as significant as the mutual fund itself. Therefore, before making decision of any kind, it is beneficial to know about these options in detail. So, let us proceed towards the same.

What is Growth Option?

Under this, the investment will not yield any short-term income; rather the money will continue and will remain invested unless redeemed. Thus, this will fetch returns in form of capital appreciation, not with a regular income.

Who can choose growth option?

This type is very well suited for investments into long-term equity mutual funds with a motive of capital appreciation. Although the equity mutual funds are prone to risks in short term, but in long-term they fetch good returns.

Additionally, since the fund does not have to pay out any monthly dividends, the net asset value from this is much higher than the dividend option for the same fund. However, one should note that the difference is only due to dividends’ payment, not the considerable variation in fund performance.

This option is suitable for those who are investing in a debt fund for more than a year and don’t seek for regular income. By choosing a growth option in a debt fund, you are accountable for long term capital gain only when you withdraw. If you choose a dividend option in a debt fund, whenever they declare a dividend, the fund needs to deduct from the nav and pay dividend distribution tax. This can be avoided by choosing growth option.

Dividend Option:

This option lets the investors fetch payout in form of dividend. The option holds good for short-term investments. Debt mutual funds with this option are good for senior citizens, who require a steady flow of income and not just capital appreciation. With this option, investors have the benefits of moderate capital appreciation, in addition to the dividend returns in the holding period.

One should note that the compounding power is not as efficient as that of the growth option. Moreover, investors not depending on the dividend income, also have to face the risk of re-investing the dividend money in asset class offering good returns.

Keep in mind that this option does not have guaranteed dividends, and at times, it happens even for the whole year.

Dividend Re-investment:

This category includes the best of both worlds. It declares dividends, but does not issue the same in form of cash, but re-investment of that into the same MFs for fetching additional units. The growth option still seems a better choice, if you are planning to withdraw only after a year

Taxation:

Taxationon growth funds is a simple calculation, with only capital gains involved. For equities, there is no tax for long-term, while only 15% for short-term capital gains.In case of dividend options the dividend is tax-free when in the hands of the investor. There is no dividend distribution tax for equity funds. But there is a dividend distribution tax of 28.325% for debt funds.

The key points summarizing the debate over selection of the right mutual fund option are:

  • Growth option is purely a capital gain return investment, without any interim returns.
  • Growth is good for equity and long-term investments.
  • Dividend option has irregular dividend payouts, which are tax free in the investor’s hands.
  • Dividends are best suited for short-term debt funds.

In order to take better investment decisions and achieve you financial goals without fail, preparing a fundamentally strong, fool proof financial plan is required. If you would like to create such a financial plan, then I would firmly vouch for you to take advantage of

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
