Entry and Exit Load in Mutual Funds

Some Asset Management Companies (AMCs) have sales charges, or loads, on their funds (entry load and/or exit load) to compensate for distribution costs. Funds that can be purchased without a sales charge are called no-load funds.

Entry load is charged at the time an investor purchases the units of a scheme. The entry load percentage is added to the prevailing NAV at the time of allotment of units.

Exit load is charged at the time of redeeming (or transferring an investment between schemes). The exit load percentage is deducted from the NAV at the time of redemption (or transfer between schemes). This amount goes to the Asset Management Company and not into the pool of funds of the scheme. In simple terms, therefore, Entry and Exit Load in Mutual Fund are the charges one pays while buying and selling the fund respectively.

Most investors focus on the profit generating ability of a business to make investment decision. However, over the last few years, the societal discussions about companies and businesses have also started focusing on sustainable development, and corporate social responsibility. This has given traction to investment theme that is focused on Environment, Social and Corporate governance (ESG). Initially this framework was used by handful of “Impact” investors. But this framework has gradually gained traction as these frameworks also provide commercial value. Under this framework investors evaluate companies based on these criteria: (i) How does the company’s activities affect the environment?
