Overview
The Other Equity Mutual Funds category can be used to group equity-oriented schemes or investment strategies that do not fit neatly into the standard category pages available on the platform.
It should be treated as a browsing or classification bucket rather than as one uniform SEBI mutual fund category.
This distinction matters because two schemes appearing under "Others" may have very different portfolios, investment rules, risks, costs, and tax treatment.
Explained
Other Equity Mutual Funds may include equity-oriented products that fall outside the main categories displayed separately on the platform.
Depending on the products available, this could include specialised strategies, newly classified products, or funds whose investment mandates do not map cleanly to another displayed category.
The term Other Equity Mutual Funds should therefore not be interpreted as describing one specific investment strategy.
Investors should evaluate each underlying scheme individually.
Explained
How a fund works depends entirely on its stated investment mandate.
One scheme could follow a highly diversified equity approach, while another could have a narrow or specialised portfolio.
Before investing, check:
The scheme's official documents are more important than the Others browsing label.
Suitability
Suitability depends on the individual scheme.
An investor should consider an underlying fund only when:
Its objective matches a specific financial goal.
The investment horizon is appropriate.
The risk level is understood.
The investor understands why it does not fall within another standard category.
The portfolio complements existing investments.
Costs and tax treatment have been reviewed.
Avoid using this page as a shortcut for selecting funds without examining their individual mandates.
Advantages
The category can help investors discover equity strategies that are not represented by the main category filters.
Different products may provide access to specialised portfolios or investment styles.
Grouping less-common strategies in one place can make it easier to browse funds that would otherwise be difficult to classify within standard navigation.
Some specialised strategies may complement conventional large-cap, flexi-cap, or other diversified equity holdings. Whether they actually improve diversification depends on the underlying portfolio.
Before you invest
Others says relatively little about how a scheme invests. Always open the individual fund details before making a decision.
The distinction can affect risk, taxation, and eligibility.
Check whether the product is:
Check exactly where the portfolio invests. A scheme described broadly as equity-oriented may still have a very different risk profile from a diversified domestic equity fund.
Some specialised strategies can make greater use of derivatives than conventional equity funds. Understand why derivatives are being used and what additional risks they introduce.
A fund with a specialised strategy may be considerably more concentrated than a mainstream diversified fund.
Look at the fund's:
Performance comparisons are meaningful only when the benchmark and peer group reasonably reflect the fund's investment mandate.
Specialised strategies can have different expense structures. Compare costs with genuinely similar funds rather than with unrelated equity categories.
Taxation
There is no single tax rule that should be applied to every fund shown under an Others category.
Tax treatment depends on the actual scheme structure and its underlying assets.
A domestic scheme that qualifies as an equity-oriented fund may be taxed under the applicable equity-oriented capital-gains provisions.
Other structures, including certain international, debt-oriented, Fund of Funds, commodity, or specialised strategies, can have different treatment.
Investors should verify:
The scheme's formal tax classification.
The applicable holding period.
Whether it qualifies as an equity-oriented fund.
The tax provisions in force when units are sold.
Do not infer taxation from the platform category label alone.
Step by step
Start with the underlying scheme rather than the Others label.
A useful process is:
Good to know
Not necessarily. On a platform, Others can function as a navigation bucket for products that are not displayed within another category. Investors should check the formal classification of each underlying scheme.
No. Their investment strategies, portfolios, risks, and tax treatment can differ significantly.
Not automatically. Risk depends on the underlying scheme. A specialised or concentrated strategy may carry more risk, but the category label alone is not enough to determine this.
Taxation depends on the actual scheme structure and asset composition. There is no single tax treatment that should be applied to every product grouped under Others.
Start with the scheme's official category, investment objective, portfolio allocation, risk level, benchmark, and taxation.
SIP availability depends on the specific scheme or investment strategy. Check the individual product's investment terms.
Only when their investment mandates are genuinely comparable. Two products grouped under Others may follow completely different strategies.
