Switching is a Sell and a Buy transaction. In some cases, investors may like to use one fund to purchase another fund. By doing a switch, you do not need to wait till you receive your proceeds to process the buy order. The process is faster compared to normal sell and buy transactions.

Please take note that the fees incurred for Intra fund house switches may be lower as compared to Inter fund house.

Currently there are 2 types of switching i.e. Intra Switch and Inter Switch.

Intra Switch involves switching between funds under the same fund management company; whereas Inter Switch involves switching between funds between two or different fund management companies.

Intra Switch is applicable to both cash investments and EPF investment. Inter Switch is only applicable to cash investments only.
