Franklin India Taxshield

PURELY in terms of returns, Franklin India Taxshield is not the category topper if one were to look at a three-year tenure, the minimum lock in period for a tax-savings fund or equity-linked saving scheme (ELSS). But, this fund is known to be a steady horse with above-average returns. It has a clear largecap bias, which would explain why it has outperformed the category in 2011, a dull year for the equity market. But, if the market were to rally, this fund would have just been an average performer. At the same time, you can trust it to protect your wealth much better than most of its peers if the market were to crash.

The fund's objective is to achieve long-term capital growth by investing between 80-100 per cent of assets in equities with limited exposure to PSU bonds, debentures and money market instruments, while offering income tax rebate to investors. At the moment, 91 per cent of its assets is in equities and around 8 per cent in cash. Launched in April 1999, the scheme today has about Rs 790 crore in assets under man agement (AUM).

Managed by Anand Radhakrishnan and Anil Prabhudas, the fund bets heavily on financials, energy, technology, communication and automobile stocks, a clear case of clear case of momentum investing. In the process, it does become too concen trated on specific sectors at times. For instance, its exposure to the financial services sector had gone up to 30 per cent in September 2007.
This can be a risky situation.

At the moment, the fund has the highest concentration of 16.6 per cent invested in financials, 14.66 per cent in energy, 13.33 per cent in technology and 10.64 per cent in communication. Even then, around 45 per cent of the portfolio is exposed to the top three sectors.

Some of the top stocks in the portfolio include Infosys, Bharti Airtel, ICICI Bank, Grasim Industries, HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Idea Cellular, Crisil, Bosch, Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC), Power Grid, IndusInd Bank, Cummins India and Marico, among others. Most of these stocks have been in the portfolio for long, which suggests a bottom-up and buy-and-hold style of fund management. The fund keeps the share of small-cap stocks in single digit.

At present, the fund has a portfolio of 24 stocks, out of which, the top five have about 29 per cent allocation, top 10 have 43 per cent, while the bottom 10 stocks have an allocation of less than 2 per cent each.

How Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) works?

    THE tax season is here. And if you are an employee you can't blame your employer for deducting large chunks of money from your salary towards tax deducted at source ( TDS ), which he is legally obliged to do. Your bank will also deduct some percentage from your FD interest of Rs 10,000 or more towards TDS! So what is this TDS all about? How is it computed? Are there any changes this year? Read on... What is TDS? TDS reduces your taxable income and could even provide tax relief! The TDS collections account for 40 percent of the total taxes collected in the country. As the name suggests TDS is the amount of tax that is deducted at source in certain types of income . The TDS thus collected is deposited in the Government treasury within a specified time. How is it computed? Some of the types of income where TDS is applicable include salary, interest, rental fee, interest on securities, insurance commission, dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds, commission and brokerage

Modern day balanced mutual fund approach

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   In reality, most balanced funds have a strong tilt towards equity instead of a mix of equity and debt THERE are various types of mutual funds available to investors with specific features. Often investors have a particular idea about a specific type of funds in terms of their features and risks, but that is not what is actually available. Therefore, it is necessary for an investor to understand the actual position before picking up a fund. This requires some work on the part of the investor. One example can be the situation with balanced funds. Name is not representative: One of the first things that an investor has to understand is that the name of the fund is often not representative of its investment pattern. The name often represents only the aim of the fund, and not what it actually is.
