How do Overnight Mutual Funds Work?
To understand how Overnight Funds work, you need to know where they invest and how they generate returns.
- Where do Overnight Funds Invest? Overnight funds invest in CBLOs, overnight reverse repos, and other debt or money market securities that mature in one day. This is in keeping with SEBI norms, which require them to invest only in assets with overnight maturity. The entire asset holding of an overnight fund can be classified as Cash and Cash Equivalents. The portfolio of an overnight fund is replaced every day with new overnight securities. Overnight schemes are not permitted to invest in deposits or specified risky debt instruments; this rule aims to reduce the risk of default in their bond portfolio.
- Sources of Earnings Overnight funds earn only through interest payments on their debt holdings. There is no scope for earning capital gains as the securities held by the fund mature in one day. In fact, returns of overnight funds reflect overnight lending and borrowing rates. When interest rates are falling and short-term liquidity is abundant, overnight rates in the money market decline. When interest rates are rising and market liquidity is tight, overnight rates increase. Thus, returns of overnight funds are closely linked to rates and conditions in the overnight market for funds.
Who Should Invest in Overnight Funds?
- Investors with a very short investment horizon: Overnight funds are ideal for those with an investment horizon of one week or less, as investors can redeem after holding the units for even one day. This flexibility is a big advantage of overnight funds over liquid funds, which now charge an exit load for redemptions within seven days.
- Medium to Route investments in Equity Funds: Investors who do not want to take any risks until they move to equity can hold funds in an overnight fund. From these funds, investors can use an STP to route investments systematically into an equity fund. This allows them to invest in equity over time while ensuring that the corpus is held safely held in the overnight fund.
Taxation on Overnight Funds
Investors earn dividend income and capital gains from overnight funds. Dividend income is not taxed in the hands of investors. Capital gain is the difference between the purchase price and the selling price of the units. The rate of tax on capital gains depends on the time for which the investor holds the units of the overnight fund.
- Short-term Capital Gains Tax: If an investor stays invested for up to 3 years, capital gains are considered short-term capital gains and taxed at the income tax slab rate applicable to the investor.
- Long-term Capital Gains Tax: If an investor sells the units of an overnight fund after holding it for longer than 3 years, it is considered as long-term capital gain, and the investor gets the benefit of indexation. This means that the purchase price is increased to adjust for inflation (using an index provided by the Government) before calculating the capital gain. In other words, the taxable amount is reduced due to indexation. Long-term capital gains are currently taxed at a lower rate of 20%.
