What is ELSS (Equity Linked Saving Scheme)?
ELSS, popularly known as Tax Saving Mutual Fund, is a category ofMutual Fund where a major portion is
invested in Equity & Equity related instruments. An investment up to 1 lakh is exempted from income under
section 80C, but there is a lock in of 3 years before you can withdraw. However, there is no upper limit on
investments and long term capital appreciations are tax free. Dividends received are also tax free in the hands of the investor.

1. Growth: Investor does not get any income during the tenure of the investment. He will get a lump sum amount at the time of
redemption or on maturity.
2. Dividend: Investor gets a dividend from the fund house. He has two options:
He can cash on the dividends.
He can opt for dividend re-investment option.
In most funds you have Growth as well as Dividend options which you can choose depending upon your priorities.
Best Funds

How to choose a fund for investing?
A good track record is no guarantee for future performance. You should also look at some quantitative measures to evaluate which
fund is good for you.
Expense Ratio: Denotes the annual expenses of the funds, including the management fee, and administrative cost. Lower expense
ratio is better.
Sharpe Ratio: An indicator of whether an investment's return is due to smart investing decisions or a result of excess risk. Higher
Sharpe Ratio is better.
Alpha Ratio: Measures risk relative to the market or benchmark index. For investors, the more positive an alpha is, the better it is.
R-squared: Measures the percentage of an investment's movement that are attributable to movements in its benchmark index. A
mutual fund should have a balance in R-square and ideally it should not be more than 90 and less than 80.

Which fund is best for you?
Choice depends upon your risk profile and priorities. You should make an investment decision based on overall financial planning.
Large Cap Funds: These funds mostly invest in the large cap companies. While this may mean muted returns when the markets are
rising, it also may mean a limited downside when the going gets tough. Franklin India Tax shield and SBI Magnum Tax gain are a
few examples of this type of fund.
Growth Funds: These Funds have about 30% exposure to mid-caps, 10% to small-caps & the rest in large caps in its portfolio.
Hence, it may give a higher return in rising markets. Sundaram BNP Paribas Tax saver is a good option in this category.
Mid-cap Funds: No pain, no gain. These funds have a sizeable exposure to mid-caps and small-caps. This aggressive investment
style can pay rich rewards. Sahara Tax Gain and HDFC Taxsaver are good examples of a fund in this class.
Small Cap Funds: Small-cap stocks can act like performance enhancing drugs. In the above discussed types, the maximum
allocation to small-caps is 12%. However, Taurus Tax shield has invested almost 30% in this high-risk zone. This can be very
rewarding when the going is good, but a dream run can easily become a nightmare. Taurus Tax shield has given 98.01% returns in
last 1 year.
Conclusion
You should do sufficient analysis before taking investment decisions. It should be guided by your overall financial situation, goalsand risk profile. A Financial Plan is recommended before making investment decisions. SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) for a long
time horizon is the most recommended way to invest in equity funds. You should avoid lump sum investments especially when the
market is on a high.

@Guest: With due respect I find ValueResearch full of clutter, especially the home page. This article explains the
same things in a much simpler way.
I guess you are trying to promote Value Research. Do you really need to? The author himself has mentioned Value
research as the source.

Very good and helpful information.
My gross income is around 12 lakh per anum. Under 80 C, approximately Rs. 70000/- and Rs. 60000 is deducted for
EPF and Post Retirments Schemes. In addition I invest Rs. 36000/- in PPF and Rs. 67000 in two different LIC
policies.
I wish to invest in two of ELSS among Canara Robeco Equity Tax Saver, HDFC Tax Saver, Birla Sun life Tax relief
and Magnum tax gain etc, as I don't want to keep in money in my savings acount, which gives 3.5% interest. Since
there is no advatange from exemption 80 c point of view, shall I go for ELSS ?
