What are all the Service Requests involved in Mutual Fund?



Bank Account Registration:

If you change your bank, you can register the new bank account by filling up the 'bank account registration form'. You can also request for deletion of details of the existing bank account or register multiple accounts, for your investments in your folio number.

Consolidation of Folios:

Many of us invest in mutual funds without mentioning our old folio number. This results in creation of multiple folios. In the end, it is too confusing to hold many folios, that too in the same mutual fund. Hence, there is a need to consolidate these folios. You can fill up the 'folios consolidation form'. This will bring all yours investments under a single folio, making it simpler for you to manage and track them.

Updation of Address/Contact Details:

Many of us have been investing over the years, but have not provided details like our e-mail address or mobile numbers to the mutual fund house. Registering these details helps faster flow of communication. So as soon as a transaction takes place in your account, you are alerted by an SMS or e-mail. An account statement is sent to you by email. These services are free.

Change of Name/Signature:

Many a time post marriage, there is a name change, which you need to effect in your investments also. All you need to do is fill up the form concerned and submit it with a copy of the gazette or marriage certificate specifying the name change. A banker must attest the document. You also need signatures of all the holders in the folio. Once this is submitted to the mutual fund, the name change will be effected.

Cheque Reissuance:

If you have misplaced the cheque for your dividend or repayment, you can request a new one by with the cheque re-issuance form. The request has to be signed by all holders.

Nomination Form:

If you have not appointed a nominee, you can appoint one. You can even change the nominee you have already appointed. If you have one nominee, you can also add another nominee and make a respective percentage allocation in the ratio that suits you.

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

Mutual Funds: Past Performance is not just everything

Many a times your agent / distributor / relationship manager tries to push you some mutual fund schemes by enticing you with a typical sales pitch…"Sir, this scheme has generated 20% returns in the past one year." And this sales pitch often gets louder when the market conditions have been favourable. Some of the agents / distributors / relationship managers have another unique way of luring you. They say, "Sir / madam this scheme has been awarded the best scheme award in the past by a leading business channel"... And hearing all these sales talks you investors very often get attracted and sign a cheque in favour of the respective scheme.   But please ask yourself do you hear these sales talks when the capital markets turn turbulent? Why is it so that your agent / distributor / relationship manager avoids talking to you during turbulent times of the capital markets and doesn't boast about returns generated by the respective funds or awards being conferred on t...

Stocks with a high dividend yield

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Stocks with a high-dividend yield can provide investors additional cash flow. More importantly, it is tax-free   With April 2011 just over, the 'earnings season' is well and truly here. This is the time most companies pay out a portion of their profits as dividends to shareholders. Since dividends are tax-free, they are an attractive income source with a select class of investors, who depend on these for additional cash flow. SIGNIFICANCE A company doing well and generating profits will usually be in a position to declare dividends regularly. Hence, a key parameter one should look at whilst investing in a stock is whether the company has a good dividend record. Typically, dividend yield stocks are large-caps and generally not capital-intensive. This is suggestive of the fact that the downside risk on...
