Investor subscribing under Direct Plan of a scheme will have to indicate ‘Direct Plan’ against the scheme name in the application form e.g. “Quantum Long Term Equity Value Fund – Direct Plan” and under ‘regular Plan’ “Quantum Long Term Equity Value Fund – Regular Plan”.

In case of valid application received without indicating any choice of plan then the application will be processed for plan as under:

In case of wrong/ invalid/ incomplete ARN codes mentioned on the application form, the application shall be processed under the Regular Plan. The AMC shall contact and obtain the correct ARN within 30 calendar days of the receipt of the application form from the investor/ distributor. In case, the correct code is not received within 30 calendar days, the AMC shall reprocess the transaction under Direct Plan from the date of application.

Dividend Payout: When Mutual Fund companies make profits, they distribute part of that profit to their investors by way of dividends. You are advised to select this option if you wish to keep getting returns frequently.

Dividend Reinvestment: This is similar to dividend payout except that the dividend declared is re-invested in the same fund on the same days NAV. So, all your profit is invested back in the same fund plus you will receive some additional units to add to your corpus.

An open-ended fund issues and buys back units from investors on a continuous basis. This gives rise to two different prices at which the two transactions take place.

Sale price is the price at which the fund issues fresh units to the investor. It is linked to the net asset value (NAV) of the fund.

Repurchase price is the price at which the fund buys back units from the investor.

In other words the following is used:

Sale Price = Applicable NAV *(1 + Sales Load, if any)

Repurchase Price = Applicable NAV *(1 - Exit Load, if any)

E.g. If the applicable NAV is Rs. 10.00; sales/entry load is nil and the exit/repurchase load is 2 percent then the sales price will be Rs. 10.00 and the repurchase price will be Rs. 9.80.

Where Units under a Scheme are held under both Existing/ Direct and Regular Plans and the redemption / Switch request pertains to the Regular Plan, the same must clearly be mentioned on the request (along with the folio number), failing which the request would be processed from the Existing / Direct Plan. However, where Units under the requested Option are held only under one Plan, the request would be processed under such Plan.

Notes:
The above modes of redemption are available only for Individual investors holding units in non-demat mode or holding units in demat mode with CDSL.

Notes:
Redemption consideration post introduction of Regular plan w.e.f. from 1/4/2017
