Terms that put you one step ahead – every day

What is an Exit Load?

Exit load is a fee charged by mutual funds when you redeem units early, say within 1 year. This penalty covers transaction costs and discourages short-term trading that disrupts the fund’s strategy. As an investor, you should check the scheme’s offer document upfront, hold for the full period to avoid it entirely, and use it as a nudge to stay invested long-term for better compounding, especially when markets tempt quick exits.
