About Tata Balanced Advantage Fund

Tata Balanced Advantage Fund is a balanced advantage fund managed by Tata 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 provide capital appreciation and income distribution to the investors by using equity derivatives strategies, arbitrage opportunities and pure equity investments.

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