Equity Saving Fund is an open ended scheme investing in equity, arbitrage and debt. Per SEBI at least 65% of the fund's assets are required to be invested into equities. Use of derivatives reduces net equity exposure (around 20-40 percent, although it may vary from fund to fund) and consequently protects investors from volatility of returns. Further, since equity savings funds have gross equity exposure (without considering derivatives) of more than 65 percent, they are treated at par with equity funds for taxation.
