One of India’s top 10 mutual funds in terms of assets under management (AUM), Franklin Templeton AMC has upended the industry by abolishing exit loads on investors switching from regular to direct plans of its open ended funds. The move, which will take effect from 9 May, 2019, is likely to encourage a shift in investor money from regular to direct plans. Switching one’s investment from regular to direct was till now partially impeded by exit load. Exit load is the charge levied on exiting the scheme in the initial years and is defined as a percentage of investment. It depends on how long the investor has held the scheme. The shorter the holding span, the more likely it is that exit load will be applicable.
