 In three years, these twelve equities mutual funds with tax advantages produced alpha returns. Are any of these yours?

Subject to a three-year lock-in period, investments in mutual funds' Equity Linked Savings Scheme, or ELSS, are eligible for an income tax credit under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. ELSS funds, often known as tax-saving funds, offer the benefits of both wealth building and tax savings. An investor may deduct up to 1.50 lakh rupees.

The market circumstances at the time of your lump sum investment will have a substantial impact on your returns because ELSS funds are equity investments, therefore investing in them all at once could be a mistake, according to financial experts.

Twelve mutual fund schemes provided alpha returns over a three-year period, according to a weekly analysis by SMC Global Securities Ltd.

Mutual Funds under the Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS)

Since ELSS Funds are essentially equities funds, they are hazardous for a brief period of time. In the long run, they might provide you with superior returns. Even though the ELSS schemes only have a three-year lock-in period, positive returns are not certain to occur within that time, according to tax and investing expert Balwant Jain.

You should have at least time horizon of eight to ten years if you are investing in ELSS funds, or for that matter in any equity plan or mutual fund, according to Jain.
