Mutual Fund Review: HDFC MIP – LTP

Type: Open – Ended Debt – MIP
Fund Manager: Mr. Prashant Jain (Equity), Mr Shabbir Kapasi (Debt)
Inception Date: Decemebr 26, 2003

Unlike the conventional monthly income plans in the markets HDFC MIP - LTP is a balance of debt and equity instruments. It invests a minimum of 75% in debt instrument and up to 25% in equities ensuring the scheme has the stability of debt as well as the extra performance potential of equities. The equity exposure gives HDFC MIP - LTP the potential to deliver higher returns over a period of time, in comparison to pure debt scheme. The scheme has benchmarked it self against CRISIL MIP Blended Index.

The primary objective of the scheme is to generate regular returns through investment primarily in debt and money market instruments and to generate long term capital appreciation by investing a portion of the scheme's asset in equity and equity related securities. As on December 06 the fund has invested 24.86% of its asset in equity, 42.07% in debt and 33.07% in cash & equivalent. The fund manager has stuck to the aggressive asset allocation pattern of the scheme; its average asset allocation for the year 2006 has been 24.30% of the net assets in equity, 47.21% in debt and 28.50% in cash & equivalent.

 
The scheme performance across all the time frames has been phenomenal. The scheme has outperformed its peers by a mile. The aggressive nature has helped the fund to be among the top 5 schemes in the ranking across all the time frame. The fund currently manages assets worth of Rs.1141.50 crore, which has increased over 44% over last one year period.

In the equity segment the fund has invested in 29 stocks. The top three stocks in the portfolio are Infosys Technologies Ltd 2.24%, Crompton Greaves Ltd 1.87% and Bank of Baroda 1.64%. The fund has higher weightage in Auto & Ancillaries with 3.31% followed by IT sector with 2.89%. The fund manager has added Elecon Engineering Company Ltd, Oil & Natural Gas Corpn Ltd, IPCA Laboratories Ltd, Wire and Wireless India Ltd and Zee News Limited in the current month's portfolio. Infosys Technologies Ltd has been the good pick by the fund manager as the stock price has gone up by 35% within the time frame of six months. Fund manager further sold Container Corporation Of India Ltd and KEC International Ltd.

In debt segment the fund has allocated 30.01% of the portfolio in commercial papers and 38.12% in corporate bond. The scheme has highest exposure in AAA/P+ instruments and remaining 34.62% in AA/Equ, 3.94% in Sovereign and 1.7% in call and cash. The average maturity of the scheme is 456 days, where as the category average is 646 days. . The scheme having low average maturity is less vulnerable to interest rate volatility. 

MIP schemes, having higher equity allocations, have been doing well in the recent past thanks to the booming equity markets. The investors looking at steady returns from a mix of equity and debt may do well to stay put in HDFC MIP Long Term Plan.

The minimum investment of the scheme is Rs.5000. Fund charges no entry load but an exit load of 1% if redeemed before 12 months and amount is less than 5 crore. The expense ratio of the fund is 1.83. The equity portion of the fund is managed by Mr. Prashant Jain and debt by Mr Shabbir Kapasi.

Birla SunLife Manufacturing Equity Fund

The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Naredra Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. It was devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. The primary motive of the campaign is to encourage multinational as well domestic companies to manufacture their products in India. This would create more job opportunities, bring high-quality standards and attract capital along with technological investment to bring more foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.   Why India as the next manufacturing destination?   The rising demand in India along with the multinational's desire to diversify their production to include low-cost plants in countries other than China, can help India's manufacturing sector to grow and create millions of jobs.

Total Returns Index brings out real Equity Funds Performers

From February, equity mutual funds have to change their benchmarks to account for dividend payments. Until now, funds used price-based benchmarks alone. TRI or total return indices assume that dividend payouts are reinvested back into the index. What this does is lift the overall index returns, because dividends get compounded. For example, the Sensex TRI index will consider dividend payouts of its constituent companies while the Nifty50 TRI index will consider dividends of its constituents. Using TRI indices as benchmarks comes on the argument that an equity funds earn dividends on the stocks in its portfolio, which they use to buy more stocks. Therefore, using an index that also considers dividend reinvestment would be a more appropriate benchmark. Shrinking outperformance With a stiffer benchmark, it is obvious that the margin by which an equity fund outperforms the benchmark would shrink. Rolling one-year returns from 2013 onwards, the average margin by which largecap funds out...

HAVELLS India's stock performance has been muted in the past three months, in line with the weak broader market. But, given the turnaround in its overseas subsidiary and the launch of new products in its consumer durable business, the company's stock may undergo a re-rating.    Havells is India's leading consumer electrical goods company, with consolidated sales of . 5,527 crore in the past four quarters. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Sylvania, which makes lighting and fixtures, has established brands in European, Latin American and Asian markets. Sylvania repre sented nearly half of the company's consolidated revenues in the first half of FY11.    Sylvania's poor financials hit Havells' consolidated performance in FY10. But, this has changed in the cur rent fiscal. Havells has reduced fixed costs of Sylvania by exiting from unprofitable businesses and outsourcing manufacturing to low-cost locations such as India and China. In the September 2010 quarter, Sylv...
