Digital Loan against Mutual Fund: How to use your investment to raise money without selling it

You now have a simple way to raise money using your Mutual Fund investment and without selling it - utilize it to take a loan.

As an investor the last thing you want to do is liquidate your investments but you may sometimes need funds – for a medical emergency, wedding or a big-ticket expense. You may consider selling your carefully accumulated portfolio but that may not be the best idea for many reasons:

• The timing may be wrong: Emergencies are unexpected. What if you need money when the markets are on a temporary low? You may end up selling your funds at a lower price than you could have got in a few days or months.
• Your goals are still not achieved: You have created a portfolio of funds to fulfil some financial or life goals and have invested with a time horizon in mind. Selling it prematurely will set you back on your goals.
• Your portfolio is currently earning good returns, and for the future: Your current portfolio is earning good returns. It also projects a good return in the future. In the event you liquidate your asset right now, you stand a chance to lose out on opportunities to earn in the future.
• You don’t get funds instantly: Even if you choose to redeem, you may have to wait 2 to 3 days for the funds to hit your account. In an emergency, you may not be able to wait that long.

So, instead of selling your Mutual Fund investment, here’s a better choice. Take a Digital Loan against Mutual Fund.
