Mutual Funds & ETFs
What is an exit load in mutual funds?
An exit load in mutual funds is a fee charged when you redeem units before a defined holding period, deducted as a percentage of the amount you withdraw. It is designed to discourage short-term exits and is commonly around 1 percent if you redeem within a year, falling to zero after that. For example, redeeming Rs 1,00,000 within the load window at 1 percent costs you Rs 1,000. Exit loads quietly reduce what you actually receive, so reading the fee structure before investing is part of evaluating any product on its terms.
