Exit load is a fee for redeeming your investments from a mutual fund. Mutual fund houses charge an exit load on certain mutual funds if you save before a stipulated period. For most mutual funds, exit load is charged only for a specified duration after which there is no exit load.

Exit load is charged by fund houses to discourage investors from hopping in and out of schemes. Different mutual fund schemes have different periods in which they levy exit loads.

Final Words

Exit load is charged to compensate for your early withdrawal from the fund. The exit load on debt funds and equity funds should not be a criterion for decision-making.

A mutual fund expects you to stay invested for a long duration. If too many people redeem their money from mutual funds, the mutual fund manager’s decision-making is affected as the instability is too high.

Not only that but the investment of other investors also gets affected. Therefore, it is in the interest of the mutual fund and long-term investors to discourage people from redeeming too soon. The exit load is meant to act as a discouragement to people who wish to withdraw their money from a mutual fund.

The exit load is mostly higher for a short duration and lower for a longer term. In most cases, after a certain period, there is no exit load applicable.

When investing, there are various factors besides the exit load you must consider. Exit load isn’t one of the primary factors to consider. However, if you don’t wish to pay for an exit load on a debt mutual fund, you can pick a fund from above mentioned 10 debt funds.

But remember, avoiding exit-load mutual funds will prevent you from choosing good funds.

Mutual funds do an excellent job of handling and guiding your investments. If you want to invest in mutual funds for the short term, you should invest in debt mutual funds. These mutual funds have lower returns as compared to equity mutual funds, but they are also less risky.

Happy Investing!
