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.

Mutual Fund Reivew: Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative

Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative has numbers on its side to prove its credibility… Don't be surprised to find this Fund of Funds ( FoF ) in our recommendations. It has earned its place. And despite the difference in the structure of the product, there is no arguing with the numbers.   Of the total 6 years of its existence, the fund has been among the top 10 funds in its category in four of them. Last year it put up an average show and the only year it underperformed its peers was in 2008.   One aspect to look at when investing in an FoF is the expense ratio. The expense ratio of an FoF is capped at a lower limit of 0.75 per cent (2.50% for an actively managed fund). However, the FoF not only has its own expense (though lower) but even the expense ratio of the fund it is investing into. Fortunately, the fund manager takes that into account. "Expense is one of the important criteria used for fund selection and is the main reason for our investment in BSL Ind...

Short-Term Investment Options in Mutual Funds

Mutual funds offer liquid funds and ultra short term funds in the debt category, which are suitable for short investment periods. Ultra short-term funds were earlier known as liquid plus funds. Liquid funds invest in money market instruments with a maturity of 91 days or less. However, there are no such restrictions for ultra short-term funds. Who should invest in these? These are open-ended schemes. Investors with a short investment horizon or with surplus cash and low risk appetite should look at these. These could include corporate as well as retail investors. Those interested in staying invested for less than 15 days can opt for liquid funds. Retail investors who want to remain invested for two-four months, can look at ultra short-term funds. The short duration for both liquid and ultra short-term funds shields them from any interest rate volatility.   What kind of returns do they offer? In terms of an investment period less than 15 days, these funds are comparable to a ba...
