TOPIC OF THE WEEKFixed Maturity Plan (FMP) v/s Fixed Deposit (FD)
FMP Highlights:
Fixed Maturity Plan is a type of debt mutual fund in which funds are invested for a fixed duration, just like bank FDsthe units of this plan mature on a predefined date (and therefore the name Fixed Maturity Plan).
The money collected is invested in fixed-income instruments. It can be money market instruments like CPs, CDs,corporate bonds and even bank fixed deposits.
This lock-in rate is often presented to investors as indicative return. This return is not guaranteed but the fundmanager expects to earn that much return based on the investment made. Returns offered by FMPs are usually
better than bank FDs.
Expense Ratio: FMPs usually have expense ratios between 0.25% and 1%. Exit Load: FMPs invest for a fixed tenure. So, stability of funds is important for them. Thus, to discourage early
redemptions, the exit load is usually highfrom 1% to 3%.
FMPs invest in debt having different levels of risk. But they usually stick to relatively low-risk debt issues. Any short term capital gain from FMPs is added to you income for that year, and is taxed as per the applicable
income tax brackets / slabs.
Any long term capital gain is taxed at a special rate10% without the benefit of indexation, or 20% with the benefit ofindexation.
