Investment in Equity Linked Saving Schemes (ELSS) gives you tax benefits apart from capital appreciation.

2. The minimum application amount is Rs 5,000. The minimum investment for both Regular and Direct Plan is Rs 500 and multiples of Rs 500 thereafter.

3. An investor can redeem or switch-out after the lock-in period of 3 years from the date of allotment. The minimum amount of redemtion would be Rs 500 or 50 units or account balance whichever is lower.

4. The investment objective of the scheme is to generate capital appreciation over a period of ten years by predominantly investing in equity and equity-related instruments of companies that can be termed as micro-cap and from income tax benefit available.

5. The fund is benchmarked against Nifty Small Cap 100. S Krishnakumar & Dwijendra Srivastava are the fund managers.

Conclusion

There is no guarantee or assurance that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved. There is also no guarantee of capital or return either by the mutual fund or by the sponsor or by the asset management Company.

Investors should note that investment in mutual funds are subject market risk which means that returns will depend on the performance of the equities.
