AIM India Index outperform sensex

Falls Only 20% Compared To 30% Drop By Sensex

Not only have they managed to raise IPO money easily in London, now their stock prices too appear to have taken a ‘comparatively’ lesser hit. India-focussed companies listed on London’s AIM (Alternative Investment Market) have managed to stomach the correction in stock prices, better than sensex companies. This means, on an average, investors in these India-focussed companies would have lost less than investors in sensex companies.

Prominent companies, that are a part of AIM India Index compiled by The Times of India, are power project development firm KSK Power Venture, Bollywood film content distributor company Eros International, IT & ITeS dedicated SEZ investment firm Unitech Corporate Parks and Noida Toll Bridge Company, the operator of the Delhi Noida Expressway. Companies operating in NICE areas such as Dhir India Investments that invest in under performing assets and companies in India or gaming firm DQ Entertainment are also included in this index.

While the 30-share sensex has fallen close to 30% from January 10 (sensex hit its all time high of 21206 that day), the ‘AIM India Index’ — comprising 19 companies having business interests related to India has outperformed its much hallowed counterpart by falling only 20%, an analysis shows. AIM understands operating businesses better. Most investors on AIM are large institutions who are willing to wait for profits and cash-flows 3-4 years down the line and thus do not engage in active trading on a day-to-day basis.

Most stocks run up during bull runs, but only during the downturn is their true worth visible, feels many investment experts. In that light, the difference of 10% between ‘AIM India Index’ and sensex is extremely important. The trend also indicates that investor wealth was perhaps better preserved in equity markets such as AIM. In fact, if we remove the 6 real estate companies from the ‘AIM India Index’ (made of companies which have trading history from January 2008) — the fall will be much less sharper.
Excluding realty, the AIM India Index has fallen by less than 10% in just over 7 months in a scenario where major equity markets have lost anywhere between 20-50%. AIM listed realty companies are largely structured as funds and not operating companies. To that end, they should typically be less prone to swings in stock price.

The BSE Realty Index, tracking real estate companies, has fallen by over 62% from January 10 this year while the AIM listed realty companies focussed on India have fallen by 40% on an average, data from the analysis shows.

The AIM listed desi companies have also fallen less than the FTSE AIM All-Share Index (that tracks all AIM listed companies). In fact, AIM India Index performance is in line with the FTSE AIM 100 index, which tracks the top 100 companies listed on AIM. This performance could be the result of differences in perception. India is a consumption-driven story compared to others, which are more of investment-driven plays.

How Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) works?

    THE tax season is here. And if you are an employee you can't blame your employer for deducting large chunks of money from your salary towards tax deducted at source ( TDS ), which he is legally obliged to do. Your bank will also deduct some percentage from your FD interest of Rs 10,000 or more towards TDS! So what is this TDS all about? How is it computed? Are there any changes this year? Read on... What is TDS? TDS reduces your taxable income and could even provide tax relief! The TDS collections account for 40 percent of the total taxes collected in the country. As the name suggests TDS is the amount of tax that is deducted at source in certain types of income . The TDS thus collected is deposited in the Government treasury within a specified time. How is it computed? Some of the types of income where TDS is applicable include salary, interest, rental fee, interest on securities, insurance commission, dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds, commission and brokerage

Modern day balanced mutual fund approach

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   In reality, most balanced funds have a strong tilt towards equity instead of a mix of equity and debt THERE are various types of mutual funds available to investors with specific features. Often investors have a particular idea about a specific type of funds in terms of their features and risks, but that is not what is actually available. Therefore, it is necessary for an investor to understand the actual position before picking up a fund. This requires some work on the part of the investor. One example can be the situation with balanced funds. Name is not representative: One of the first things that an investor has to understand is that the name of the fund is often not representative of its investment pattern. The name often represents only the aim of the fund, and not what it actually is.

Should you invest in tax-free infra bonds?

THOSE looking to save tax should take note of the latest buzz in the debt markets. Power Finance Corporation ( PFC ) and Housing Urban Development Corporation (Hudco) have launched bonds that will help you save more tax than your regular infrastructure bonds. Soon, IRFC and NHAI are likely to follow suit with similar bonds. KP Jeewan, general manager, debt markets, Karvy Stock Broking, says: "The coupon in these bonds are completely tax-free and those in the highest tax bracket can expect an effective yield of 10.75 per cent, compared to the 9.5 per cent a 10-year public sector bond would offer." The PFC and Hudco offerings are of 10- and 15-year tenures, with coupon rates of 7.5 and 7.75 per cent, respectively. Unlike other regular tax-free infra bonds, the tax benefits in these bonds are not capped at ` 20,000. Even besides these tax free bonds, those in the highest tax bracket have had plenty of opportunities to invest in tax saving infrastructure bonds under 80 CCF i
