- Need Cash Take a Loan Against Mutual Funds
Digital Loan Against Mutual Funds - A Complete Guide
Mutual funds are popular among investors for various reasons – they are an easy way of investing in equity and debt, and professional fund managers maximise returns for you. But, when you need money to meet immediate and urgent requirements, is it a good idea to redeem mutual funds?
Digital Loan Against Mutual Funds
Say you need a substantially large amount of quick cash for a medical emergency, to meet cost overruns during a wedding in the family or to foot the bill for an impromptu holiday overseas. You could, of course, redeem your mutual funds. But you may have invested in mutual funds to meet longer-term goals like having a nest egg for retirement, your child’s education or a home of your own, and may not want to do that. So, how do you live for today while you stay invested in tomorrow?

Why Loan Against Mutual Funds is better than redeeming units
You may wonder why to take a digital Loan Against Mutual Funds instead of just redeeming the mutual units. Here are some of the reasons:
- You may not want to liquidate your mutual fund portfolio to meet short-term cash requirements. If you need money for a few months, Loan Against Mutual Funds is a better choice.
- There’s no reason to liquidate a mutual fund that has been performing exceptionally well. If you do, you may have to pay more to reinvest since NAVs will rise, thereby causing a loss.
- You get comparatively lower interest rates on Loan Against Mutual Funds.
When to take Loan Against Mutual Funds?
In what situation is taking a Loan Against Mutual Funds the best option? You might consider redeeming mutual fund units when you need cash in an emergency. However, a fund’s NAV plays an important role in its rate of returns. This affects your decision to redeem especially when the NAV is low. Also, you may have to pay tax on capital gains. This in turn might make you hesitate. There are no clear-cut answers on how you should react, and these could depend on your perceptions and needs.
Taking a digital Loan Against Mutual Funds is comparatively better option than redeeming. The primary reason being, you don’t break your investment. Second, you can get a loan and still benefit from great returns during positive markets.
Some would say that taking a Loan Against Mutual Funds when markets are doing well would be a better choice since you wouldn’t want to liquidate mutual funds at a loss. Others may want to take a Loan Against Mutual Funds when the markets are slow -- why exit when things are going to great? Whatever the situation, there’s always digital Loan Against Mutual Funds for you.
