Investors Perception for Mutual Fund Investment in 21st Century
Dr. Deepak H. Tekwani
Abstract :
In the past decade, it is observed that Mutual Fund investors are getting more aware of the tax implications of their investments. Mutual funds are required by law to distribute their earnings yearly and these distributions result in taxable income to investors. The distributions are taxed either as ordinary income and/or capital gains based on the trading strategy of the fund manager, not the holding period of the investor. This creates significant taxable income, which can significantly reduce the net return earned by mutual fund investors. Tax information is becoming more significant as the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had made it mandatory to report the returns with taking taxes into consideration. This information allows investors to make more informed decisions on their mutual fund investment.
