What is SBI Children’s Fund - Investment Plan?
SBI Mutual Fund has launched the SBI Children's Fund—Investment Plan, an open-ended mutual fund scheme. It was made just for parents and guardians to help them save money for their child's future needs, such as school, marriage, or other long-term goals. The fund falls under the category of "Solution Oriented Schemes – Children's Fund" and was previously known as the SBI Magnum Children’s Benefit Fund – Investment Plan.
- This child plan is for parents who want to save money for their kids' future needs, like school.
- It offers regular and direct plans with the same portfolio, but the direct option doesn't pay any commissions to distributors.
- You can invest through SBI Mutual Fund's platforms by making a one-time payment of ₹5,000 or a SIP of ₹500 per month.
Investment Objective:
The goal of this SBI SIP plan is to make long-term capital gains by mostly investing in stocks and stock-related securities from different sectors and market capitalisations. It also puts some money into debt and money market instruments for income and stability.
*Returns are market-linked and not guaranteed.
Asset Allocation:
- Equity and equity-related instruments (including ETFs) form 65-100% of the portfolio (high risk).
- Debt, money market, and debt ETFs take 0-35% (low to medium risk), with up to 10% in REITs/InvITs and 20% in Gold ETFs (medium to high risk).
- Foreign securities are capped at 35% of net assets.
