Frequently Asked Questions

1.What is a mutual fund?

A mutual fund pools money from multiple investors to invest in stocks, bonds, or other securities. It is managed by professional fund managers.

2. How do mutual funds work?

 Investors buy “units” of the mutual fund. The value of these units, called net asset value (NAV), changes based on the performance of the fund’s underlying investments.

3. What are the different types of mutual funds?
  • Equity Funds: Invest in shares of companies (high return, high risk)
  • Debt Funds: Invest in bonds/securities (low to medium risk)
  • Hybrid Funds: Mix of equity and debt
  • ELSS Funds: Tax-saving funds with a 3-year lock-in

 

4. What is NAV?

NAV (Net Asset Value) is the price per unit of a mutual fund. It is calculated at the end of each trading day.

5. Are mutual funds safe?

Mutual funds are market-linked and carry risks. However, they are regulated by Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and managed professionally. It is a safe investment tool when backed by expert advice, goal-based planning, and long-term discipline.

SIPs, Investment & Portfolio Management

6. What is SIP?

 SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly (monthly/quarterly) into a mutual fund.

7. What is the minimum amount to start investing?

You can start SIPs with as little as ₹500/month, while lump sum investments usually start from ₹1,000 in most funds.

8. Can I change or pause my SIP?

Yes. SIPs can be paused, modified, or canceled anytime through our support team or online platform.

9. Can I invest in multiple mutual funds at the same time?

Absolutely. Diversifying across fund types helps manage risk and improve returns.

10. What happens if I miss a SIP?

There are no penalties, but missing SIP installments may impact your long-term goal progress. We recommend keeping your bank account funded.

Performance Monitoring & Reviews

11. How do I track my mutual fund investments?

We provide access to a digital dashboard, monthly statements, and periodic review reports.

12. How often should I review my portfolio?

We recommend reviewing your portfolio at least twice a year or whenever there is a major change in your financial life or market conditions. At Mentor Wealth, we provide scheduled portfolio reviews and notify you if adjustments are needed, such as rebalancing, fund replacements, or goal-based adjustments.

13. What if a fund underperforms?

 We always evaluate performance in the context of your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance before suggesting any change. Rest assured, you’ll be informed proactively if any corrective action is needed — we manage, monitor, and guide every step.

Taxation & Compliance

14. How are mutual funds taxed?
  • Equity Funds:
    • <1 year: 15% Short-Term Capital Gains Tax
    • 1 year: 10% Long-Term Capital Gains (after ₹1L exemption)

  • Debt Funds (as of April 2023):
    • Taxed at your applicable income slab
15. Are SIP returns taxed every month?

No. Tax is applicable only when you redeem units, not during the investment phase.

16. Can I claim tax benefits on mutual funds?

Yes, ELSS (Equity Linked Saving Scheme) funds are eligible for up to ₹1.5 lakh deduction under Section 80C.

17. Will I get capital gains statements for tax filing?

Yes. We provide capital gains statements annually to help with your tax filings.

Process, Documentation & Support

18. What documents are needed to start investing?
  • PAN card
  • Aadhaar (linked to mobile)
  • Bank account details
  • A passport-size photo (digital)
  • KYC verification

 

19. Do I need a demat account?

No, mutual funds don’t require a demat account. Your investments are held in a folio.

20. Can I invest for my child or spouse?

Yes. You can open folios for minors (as guardian) or dependents. Each investor must complete KYC and folio separately.

21. What happens to my investments if something happens to me?

Your nominee (declared at the time of investment) can claim the investment with proper documentation. We assist in the entire process.
