Who should Invest? For all class of investors i.e. Corporates , HNIs , MNIs & Retail who have a pre  decided investment horizon.   - As a prudent investor one needs to have a proper asset allocation in place     and FMPs offer that much-needed stability to the investment portfolio.   - Thus, even aggressive investors who normally prefer equity investments     should invest a part of their corpus in FMPs. Investors who are not satisified with the returns from conventional  fixed income avenues FMPs are ideal for   - Risk-averse investors who seek safe avenues for investment and     in the process keep money in the form of bank deposits   - Investors who want to park money for a fixed period of time with a     view to meeting certain financial goals in near future

The Tax Angle In the case of FMPs the return can be in the form of dividend or  capital appreciation depending upon the option of the investor   - Dividend is tax free in the hands of the investor while the fund     has to incur a Dividend Distribution Tax   - In the case of investments for more than a year and under     growth option, long-term capital gains tax at 11.33% (without     indexation benefit) and 22.66% (with indexation benefit) is applicable
