About NJ Balanced Advantage Fund

NJ Balanced Advantage Fund is a balanced advantage fund managed by NJ Mutual Fund. Change the mix of equity and debt dynamically, usually buying more equity when markets are cheap and less when they are expensive.

The investment objective of the Scheme is to generate capital appreciation by dynamically allocating its assets between equity and specified debt securities. However, there is no assurance or guarantee that the investment objective of the scheme will be achieved.

The scheme's stated objective, as published by NJ 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.
