About DSP Conservative Hybrid Fund

DSP Conservative Hybrid Fund is a conservative hybrid fund managed by DSP Mutual Fund. Invest 75–90% in debt and 10–25% in equity, for modest growth with lower volatility.

An Open Ended Income Scheme, seeking to generate income, consistent with prudent risk, from a portfolio which is substantially constituted of quality debt securities. The scheme will also seek to generate capital appreciation by investing a smaller portion of its corpus in equity and equity related securities of issuers domiciled in India. There is no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be realized.

The scheme's stated objective, as published by DSP Mutual Fund.

The NAV (net asset value) is the price of one unit of the fund. It is published by the fund house every business day and changes with the value of the fund's holdings. The Growth option reinvests all gains, so its NAV reflects the fund's total return.

Tax on your gains

How gains are taxed depends on how much equity the scheme holds. At 65% equity or more it follows equity rules — 12.5% on long-term gains above ₹1.25 lakh; below that, gains are usually taxed at your slab rate. The scheme document states which applies.
