Can I sell some part of my investments in mutual funds?

Yes, you can sell some part of your investment in mutual funds as they are voluntary investments. Having said that, one should avoid withdrawing money from it as it reduces the return to investor and fees are levied at the time of partial exit as well. You must read the terms of the investment carefully and look for exit load. Exit loads are generally charged on investments redeemed within 3 months. However, different fund houses may have different lock-in periods for different schemes.

You can withdraw from mutual funds by simply giving a request to your fund manager. It is important to note that capital gains tax will be charged on such withdrawals. To further understand tax structure applicable to mutual fund units, click here.

You may also redeem your entire portfolio and start a new portfolio with the reduced amount if you want to invest the remaining amount in another scheme.

In case you anticipate future regular withdrawals, you can also indulge in Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWP). It allows you to withdraw a fixed amount from the mutual fund investment at a pre-set date every month, quarter or year, according to your needs. This means that the investor receives a fixed amount on each specified date, by selling the required number of units. The number of units however may vary depending upon the NAV at the time of sale.

Hope this answers your question!

Yes, you can sell part of the investments in mutual funds to redeem money but the mutual fund may or may not charge on this withdrawal as it depends on the type of fund and mutual fund distributors.

If your lump sum amount is invested in equity funds, then most of the equity funds do not charge any fees if redemption takes place after 1 year.

When an investor sells or liquidates the mutual funds, the fund house charges fees on redemption of the funds which is called exit load. However, some funds don’t charge any fees on redemption if withdrawal after a certain period of time.

• For investors, a fund which charges no exit load is better than funds which charge fees as it provides flexibility and liquidity to investors. Exit loads are imposed on mutual funds to discourage withdrawals. Fund manager wants investors to hold the fund for a long time as time horizon provides proper analysis time and make them invest in growing companies.
• Some funds levy flat exit loads whereas some funds charge differential exit loads. If an investor is withdrawing money in the early phase, the higher fee is charged in comparison to withdrawing funds after a long period of time. On an average, an actively managed equity fund charges 1 % exit load on redemption of funds and on the other hand, index funds also charge an entry load of 1 %.
• Exit loads are also applicable to Systematic Investment Plan. If the lock-in period for the SIP installment is 12 months, the exit load will be applicable within the same time frame. Every fund defines its own exit load and that is why investors are expected to read the terms and conditions of the fund carefully. In most cases of exit loads, it is generally in the range of 0.25 to 3 %. A mutual fund typically charges exit load on short-term funds for a short duration of 60 to 120 days. Exit load might not be charged for ultra short-term funds.

Another way to invest your money is in Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWP). It allows you to withdraw you a fixed amount from a mutual fund at a fixed interval. It can be considered the reverse process of SIP. So you can put your savings in a mutual fund and withdraw regularly from it.

Happy Investing!

Yes, it is possible to redeem a part of your investment or your full investment at any point of time. The charges applicable on redemption vary from fund to fund and depend on the duration of investment. Some funds have zero exit load whereas sum funds have an exit load of around 1% if the investment is redeemed within a year of investment.

Exit load is the percentage of your total investment that is deducted as a charge for an early exit from the mutual fund. Asset Management Companies charge exit load to motivate investors for remaining invested in the fund for a longer period of time so that they can earn higher profits and also at the same time the cost of transactions for the AMC reduces.
