Launched in September 2003, Canara Robeco Equity Diversified Fund has been ranked CRISIL Fund Rank 2 (a slot among the top 30 percentile indicates good performance) in the diversified equity category of the CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking for the quarter ended March.
 
The fund, with average assets under management of ~622 crore for the quarter ended June, is managed by Soumendra Nath Lahiri.
 
The fund has been in the top 30 percentile of the group for eight of the past nine quarters, barring the quarter ended December 2010. Over the past four quarters, too, it stood among the top 30 percentile in the category of consistent equity fund performers, which looks at performances over a longer term.
 
Performance The fund has delivered good returns, outperforming both its benchmark (Bombay Stock Exchange 200) and its category average over the one-, two-, three-, five- and seven-year periods. Over the past three years, the fund has given returns of 14.06 per cent, compared with 5.80 per cent and 9.78 per cent by its benchmark and its category, respectively.
 
An investment of ~1 lakh since the funds inception would have appreciated to ~5,45,400 as of June 25. An equal amount invested in its benchmark would have returned ~3,74,839, while its category would have yielded ~5,06,027 during the same period.
 
Under the systematic investment plan route, too, it fared well. A monthly investment of Rs 1,000 over five and seven years would have grown to ~79,537 and ~1,30,427, yielding a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.27 per cent and 12.39 per cent, respectively. A similar investment in the benchmark would have risen to ~65,211 and ~1,03,190, CAGRs of 3.3 per cent and 5.81 per cent, respectively.
 

During the crisis period of January 2008 to March 2009, the fund declined at a rate lower than the benchmark's (46 per cent, against 50 per cent). Between January 2011 and June 2012, when the markets were volatile, it declined at four per cent, compared with the benchmark's 13 per cent fall.

And, during the sharp market recovery from April 2009 to December 2010, the fund substantially outperformed the benchmark (64 per cent returns, against the benchmark's 56 per cent returns).
 
Investment style The fund plans to adopt a bottom-up strategy of stock picking, focusing on the company's business fundamentals, industry structure, management quality and financial strength. Some of the stocks retained by the fund over the past three years, which outperformed the BSE 200 during this period, are HDFC Bank, State Bank of India, BPCL, Cadila Healthcare and GAIL
At the industry level, banking has been the most favoured sector over the past three years, with an average 19 per cent exposure, followed by software and pharmaceuticals with nine per cent and 8.92 per cent, respectively. The fund has been overweight on banks (over four per cent) and pharma (over two per cent) compared to its category during the same period. This has also contributed to better returns.
 
Canara Robeco Equity Diversified Fund primarily focuses on large-cap and midcap companies with strong fundamentals. The average exposure to CRISIL-defined large-cap stocks (top 100 stocks based on average market capitalisation on the National Stock Exchange) over the past three years was 77 per cent. The fund has actively managed its equity exposure through a low average largecap exposure of 68 per cent from June 2009 to May 2010, when markets recovered after the sub-prime crisis. It increased its exposure to largecap stocks to an average of 84 per cent during June 2011 to May 2012 - when the markets were volatile.
 

The fund held an average of 46 stocks over three years, with the top five stocks of the fund accounting for 24 per cent of the portfolio over the same period, compared to its category, which held 45 stocks, with the top five stocks accounting for 27 per cent of the portfolio.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

This title comes from a movie I had watched many years ago. A little boy's journey into adulthood and the story of a Welsh valley's turn of-the-century descent from pristine paradise to despoiled coal mining.   I thought of the title because it is comparatively reflective of a person's life ­ the glorious years when he is earning and the sun down years when he is not having his regular job and, hence, his living standards comes down. The reason is a combination of things. Inflation of food items, transport, increase in health related costs in the later years of life and increase in expenses in almost all basic amenities of life. In India, the social security system is almost non-existent. In some states, wherever it is available, the scales of benefits are extremely modest...

Investment Strategy - What is Sector Rotation Theory?

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   The economy goes through cycles : it expands for a few years and then contracts. Study of historical data suggests that different sectors tend to perform well on the stock markets during different stages of the economic cycle. While history never repeats itself exactly, some broad patterns tend to recur. Investors can take advantage of the sector rotation theory to move their money from those sectors that have seen their best times to those that are likely to do well in future.   The person who developed the sector rotation theory is Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor's. He developed this theory by studying data on economic cycles going as far back as 1854 provided by the National Bureau of Economic Research ( NBER ) of the US.   When trying to correlate stock-market perfor...

Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme (RGESS) set for launch this week

The finance ministry is set to notify the Rajiv Gandhi Equity Savings Scheme ( RGESS ) this week.   Though Finance Minister PChidambaram had approved on September 21, the scheme announced in this year's Budget, and had said that the revenue department will notify the scheme and the Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi ) would issue relevant circulars within two weeks, it is yet to become operational.   A senior finance ministry official said the revenue department was expected to notify the scheme any day now to attract retail investors to the equity segment.   He added that Sebi was not required to issue any circular for the operationalisation of the scheme and that after the issuance of the revenue department's notification, investors would be able to avail of the benefits of the scheme.   The official accepted that implementation of the scheme had been delayed due to the deliberations on inclusion of mutual funds ( MF ) in it.   ...
