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.

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...

Gold: It is safe & secure

RETURNS ON GOLD & ITS ETF’s RISE WHILE most of the popular asset classes are going through bad times, the yellow metal shines on. In fact, in the last one year, gold has given a return of more than 25% and currently trades at Rs 14,695 per 10 gm. Even gold exchange traded funds ( ETFs ) have appreciated substantially. Gold Gold Benchmark Exchange Traded Scheme ( BeES ) and Kotak Gold ETF have given more than 25% returns each in the last three months. Even as the equity markets have taken a hit with the Sensex losing around 46% in the last one year and real estate prices also witness a correction, investors’ preference has shifted to safe havens such as gold. On an average, most of the diversified equity mutual funds have fallen and real estate developers are offering discounts. Thus gold remains the safest bet. The appreciation in the gold prices is mainly due to its safe haven status. The key reason for gold to go up is lack of other investment opportunity. There is also a risk in...
