Strategy for Option Premium Investment : The balance amount after investing in debt & money market instruments is intended to be invested in equity market through derivatives like Index Call options which could provide market linked returns.

  • If market goes up, buyer has a right buy the index at a lower level & sell at the prevailing rate, thereby realizing profit
  • If market goes down, the buyer loss premium paid. But maximum loss for a buyer is premium paid

 

Taxation

CPFs are taxed like as debt funds, Long term Capital Gains are taxed  @ 10.3% without indexation or 20.6% with indexation
