About UTI - Equity Savings Fund

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

The investment objective of the Scheme is to provide capital appreciation and income distribution to the investors using arbitrage opportunities, investment in equity / equity related instruments and debt / money market instruments. However, there is no assurance or guarantee that the investment objective of the Scheme would be achieved.

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