What are Fixed Maturity Plans?

Fixed Maturity Plans are schemes offered by mutual funds that have a pre-specified tenure. The basic objective is to generate steady returns over a fixed duration.

Advantages of Fixed Maturity Plans

1 Low credit risk: FMPs normally invest in high credit rated fixed income instruments

2 Indexation Benefit: Indexation benefit helps in lowering capital gains so the tax outflow is lower. In certain scenarios by staying invested for little more than a year, the investor is able to get inflation indexation benefit for two financial years and can bring down his tax outflow substantially
