Frequently Asked Questions

When selecting ELSS funds with a low expense ratio, consider historical returns, consistency, portfolio diversification, and fund manager expertise. A lower expense ratio helps in retaining more returns over time. Also, evaluate the fund’s past performance, risk-adjusted returns, and lock-in period of three years before making an informed decision.
Investing in ELSS funds with a low expense ratio helps maximize returns while saving on costs. These funds offer tax benefits under Section 80C and provide potential long-term capital appreciation. The lower the expense ratio, the higher the retained returns, making them an efficient option for tax-saving and wealth-building.
ELSS funds with low expense ratios provide dual benefits: tax savings and cost-efficient investing. The three-year lock-in period ensures disciplined, long-term investing. These funds primarily invest in equities, offering growth potential. Lower expenses enhance net returns, making them a suitable choice for cost-conscious investors looking for tax-efficient investments.
Despite the lower expense ratio, ELSS funds are subject to market volatility as they primarily invest in equities. Returns are not guaranteed, and short-term fluctuations may occur. Additionally, the mandatory three-year lock-in period limits liquidity, requiring investors to have a long-term perspective when choosing these tax-saving funds.
ELSS funds with a low expense ratio are ideal for investors looking for tax-saving options while aiming for long-term capital growth. Those comfortable with market-linked risks and a three-year lock-in period can consider them. Cost-conscious investors who prioritize maximizing returns through lower fees may also find them beneficial.
Check out ELSS funds with low expense ratios on Dhan. Evaluate tax benefits, expense ratios, and past performance before investing. A SIP can offer disciplined, tax-efficient investing, while a lump sum may help maximize benefits under Section 80C if invested before the financial year-end.
