What is difference between growth fund and dividend fund?
Equity funds usually offer three options for investors to choose from - the Dividend Payout option, the Dividend Re-investment option and the Growth option. A few funds have also started to offer a Bonus option. These options differ only in their method of distribution of returns. When you choose the dividend option, you get to partially cash in on the returns earned by the fund from time to time, through the dividends it declares. When you choose the growth option, the returns earned by the fund are retained and reflect as an appreciation in the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV). Please note that the dividend does not in any way, add to your returns from the fund. The Dividend Re-investment option authorises the fund to plough back the dividends declared into the fund at the prevailing NAV, fetching you more units. In terms of its effect on your returns from the fund, the Dividend Re-investment option is no different from the Growth option. The Dividend Re-investment option is the superior option for investors who want the tax efficiency of the dividend option and are also willing to remain invested in equities through its ups and downs. If they need liquidity, such investors can liquidate a part of their holdings at NAV. To illustrate how these options work, let us suppose you invested Rs.1000 in a fund at an NAV of Rs.10 per unit, fetching you 100 units. Six months later, because of an appreciation in the fund's portfolio, the value of the units you hold has grown to Rs 1,200. In the Dividend option, the fund may declare a dividend of Rs 2 per unit and pay out Rs 200. The value of your residual holdings in the fund would be Rs 1000. In the Growth Option, you would not receive any payout, but the value of your holdings would be Rs 1,200 at the end of six months, as the value of the100 units you hold would have grown from Rs 10 to Rs 12 per unit. In the Dividend Re-investment option, the Rs 200 declared as dividends would be reinvested in the fund at the prevailing ex-dividend NAV, and you would be left with 120 units worth Rs.10 each. Your investment value at Rs 1,200, would be the same as in the Growth option. The Dividend option (whether Reinvestment or Payout) is the more tax- efficient way of receiving your returns from an equity fund. The dividends declared by an equity fund (funds with over 50 per cent equity exposure) are exempt from distribution tax and are also tax-free in the hands of an investor. But any returns that you earn on the fund by way of appreciation in NAV, is subject to capital gains tax. Capital gains are taxed at 10 per cent if you hold the fund for less than a year; but are exempt if you hold for over one year. In the above example, if you opted for Dividend Payout, you would have no tax liability at the end of the six-month period. The same would hold good of the Dividend Re-investment option. However, if you sell your units in the Growth option at the end of the six-month period, you would have to pay short term capital gains tax of 10 per cent on the Rs.200 you earned by way of appreciation on the Growth Option NAV. Tax reasons apart, choosing the Dividend Option may also confer other advantages for conservative investors. Equity funds declare dividends only from the profits booked on the holdings in their portfolio. They have tended to pay out liberal dividends when the stock markets are in a buoyant phase and refrain from payouts when the markets are in a bearish phase. Dividend payouts thus offer you the opportunity to cash in partially on any returns that the fund has made, after a sharp run-up in stock prices. Dividend payouts also help you re-balance your equity holdings when the markets are buoyant, guarding you to an extent against a decline in values. The flip side in opting for the Dividend Option is that they could result in an opportunity loss in a rising market. In the above example, if the NAV of the fund climbed from Rs 12 to Rs 15 per unit after the dividend declaration, investors who opted for Dividend Payout would have suffered an opportunity loss on the Rs 200 that they have pulled out of the fund by way of dividend. Their appreciation would be restricted to the Rs 1,000 they have invested in the fund. In contrast, investors who have opted for the Growth and Dividend Re-investment option would have earned an appreciation on the entire sum of Rs 1,200 that they retained in the fund.

Can you switch a few units of a fund from growth to dividend?
No. You would have to withdraw/redeem the amount you wish to take out from your growth fund and then invest afresh in the dividend option. Switching between growth and dividend is not possible directly because the NAV of the two funds will be totally different.
