About Mahindra Manulife Equity Savings Fund

Mahindra Manulife Equity Savings Fund is a equity savings fund managed by Mahindra Manulife Mutual Fund. Combine equity, arbitrage and debt, with at least 65% in equity including arbitrage positions.

The Scheme seeks to generate long term capital appreciation and also income through investments in equity and equity related instruments, arbitrage opportunities and investments in debt and money market instruments. However, there can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Scheme will be achieved. The Scheme does not assure or guarantee any returns.

The scheme's stated objective, as published by Mahindra Manulife 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.
