Mutual Funds in Chennai

Chennai, a cultural and industrial powerhouse in South India, is known automobile, hardware manufacturing, IT, and healthcare sectors. The city’s high literacy levels, skilled workforce, and growing metropolitan economy make it a landscape for financial growth and investment awareness.

In fact, Chennai ranks among the significant contributors to India’s mutual fund industry. As of June 30, 2025, the city accounted for approximately 2.94% of the industry’s total Assets Under Management (AUM), as per data from AMFI, placing it seventh nationwide.

With its industrial strength and expanding middle class, Chennai also offers considerable potential for deeper participation in structured investing. Mutual funds may present a flexible and accessible route for residents to transition from conventional savings, like fixed deposits or real estate, into diversified, professionally managed portfolios that may align with long-term financial goals.

Through equity funds, Chennai investors with a high risk appetite can tap into the growth potential of companies across sectors. Meanwhile, debt funds offer relative stability and may serve as an alternative to traditional instruments* for short-term goals; Hybrid funds blend both assets, aiming for a balance between risk and potential returns. Moreover, Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) allow individuals to start investing with modest sums and benefit from disciplined, periodic investing, which may aid wealth creation over time.
 
For Chennai’s mutual fund investors, Bajaj Finserv AMC offers varied schemes across equity, debt, and hybrid categories, catering to different risk profiles and goals. So, start your investing journey today with Bajaj Finserv AMC to potentially turn your financial aspirations into reality.
*Traditional avenues such as savings accounts and bank deposits offer fixed returns, whereas mutual funds are subject to market risk.

Information Edge

Collecting superior information

Analysts and portfolio managers strive to collect superior information about the business and the management of the company. They try to generate superior earnings forecast and the balance strength of the company and the industry, thereby trying to ‘beat the market’ on information edge. This is an important source of alpha for an investor. However, over the years, retaining the information edge has become more difficult and expensive. With a whole lot of investors trying to collect superior information, how can an investor be sure to continuously have accurate and material information about the companies, ahead of others, all the time?

Even if you don’t have material information earlier than the crowd, you can still generate better outcomes if you are able to process this information better. Investors develop models and algorithms with enhanced predictive powers to forecast the next move. Fund managers who invest based on some pure formal analytical models are quantitative managers. Here, the goal is to try and beat other investors based on the sophistication of procedures or analytics. The analytical edge can be quite useful until it gets copied by many, and then it may stop generating superior returns.

As the name suggests, this edge is achieved by superior behaviour in reacting to the inputs available to maximise alpha. Modern finance assumes people behave with extreme rationality. However, researchers in behavioural finance have shown that this is not true. Moreover, these deviations from rationality are often systematic. Behavioural managers try to exploit situations where securities are mispriced by the market because of behavioural factors. At Bajaj Finserv AMC, we endeavour to combine the best of these edges.

For the fixed income market, the most important aspect is the quality of the asset. Our focus is to create an investment universe of borrowers who have the ability to service and pay back the debt. We evaluate whether there is adequate cover and understand the covenants wherever applicable on securities.
Next comes liquidity management. Here, we use tools to monitor liquidity and duration of the portfolio. It is important to conduct the stress tests regularly to understand portfolio liquidity risk.

Returns have to be evaluated under the lens of risk-adjusted return. We wouldn’t compromise on the quality curve for higher returns. Right selection of security and duration seeks to provide the investors reasonable returns without taking disproportionate risk.

FAQs

What is the difference between direct and regular mutual funds?

Direct plans are bought directly from the fund house and usually have lower expense ratios. Regular plans are bought through distributors or advisors and may include commission costs. Over time, this cost difference can impact returns.

Taxation depends on the type of fund and holding period. Equity funds held for over a year are subject to long-term capital gains tax, while debt funds have different rules. Income Distribution cum Capital Withdrawal (IDCW) payouts from mutual funds are taxable in the hands of investors.

Yes. Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) qualify for tax deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961, up to ₹1.5 lakh per year (under the old regime). However, they come with a mandatory lock-in period of 3 years.

Yes. Mutual funds levy an expense ratio, which covers fund management, administration, and distribution costs. This fee is expressed as a percentage of assets under management and is deducted from the fund’s returns.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) regulates mutual funds to protect investors’ interests. SEBI sets rules on disclosures, transparency, and fund management practices. This ensures mutual funds operate in a structured and regulated environment.

How to invest in mutual funds

Investing in mutual funds can be a convenient way to access market-linked growth opportunities and potentially build wealth in the long term.To start investing, you need to identify your risk tolerance level and investment horizon Based on this, you can decide your fund category.

  • Equity mutual funds offer higher growth potential but can experience high volatility, especially in the short term. They may be suitable for investors with a high risk appetite and a long investment horizon.
  • Debt mutual funds offer relative stability of capital with the potential to earn reasonable returns. This makes them suitable for conservative investors or for short-term needs.
  • Hybrid funds offer a balance of both by combining equities and debt instruments.

To invest with mutual funds, you can either transact independently with the mutual fund company or Asset Management Company (AMC) under the Direct Plan, or you can take the help of a mutual fund distributor through the Regular Plan. The expense ratio is typically higher under the Regular Plan, but you receive personalised guidance and help with transactions, withdrawals and portfolio management.

A popular investment method for retail investors is the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), where you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly etc). This encourages disciplined investing and can mitigate market timing risk. Alternatively, if you prefer to invest a large sum at one go, you can choose a lumpsum investment. Before investing, it may be helpful to use online tools like SIP calculators, lumpsum calculators, SWP calculators, and STP calculators to project potential returns and plan your investments with more clarity. Investing in mutual funds is easier than it seems. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get started:

Set your financial goals

First, identify what you’re investing for – retirement, your child’s education, or simply building wealth. Your goals will guide you toward the right type of mutual fund.

Know your risk appetite

Ask yourself how much risk you are comfortable with. Some funds carry higher risk but may offer better returns, while others are safer but may grow slower.

Pick a suitable category of mutual fund

Mutual funds come in different types – equity funds (invest in stocks), debt funds (invest in bonds), and hybrid funds (a mix of both). Choose one that suits your needs.

Select a specific fund

Compare funds by checking their past performance, expense ratios, and ratings. Reliable financial websites provide this information.

Open a mutual fund account

You can do this directly with a mutual fund company, through your bank, a distributor, or via online investment platforms. Many offer quick digital onboarding.

Decide how to invest: SIP or lumpsum

Choose whether you want to invest a fixed amount regularly through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) or invest a larger amount at once (lumpsum). You can make use of mutual fund calculators to determine the investment amount.

Complete the KYC process

Submit your identity and address proof. This is usually a one-time, easy process that can be completed online.

Invest and track progress

Start your investment journey and review your fund’s performance regularly to ensure it stays aligned with your financial goals.
