Investing in Mutual Funds via mobile

Some mutual funds allow only few specified banks for auto debit transactions

 

THERE is now a facility available for investors to use their mobile phones for investing into mutual funds. Now, questions arise about its feasibility for small investors and difficulty in using this mode of investment. On both these fronts, this is not a very difficult process to undertake. Here are some factors that investors need to watch out for while undertaking any action related to investing through cell phones.

 

Registration and availability: There are two ways that one can follow for mutual fund investment using mobiles. The first way involves transaction through SMS, while the second would involve using smart phones. The first step involves registration with the mutual fund offering this service. Since only few fund houses provide this service, it would not be possible to use this facility across all funds.

 

Also, in case, there is a fund that is provoding this service, it is most likely that the facility is being offered for existing folios.

 

Debit mandate: The main thing in the entire investment process is not the act of giving instructions for the purchase of additional amounts, but actually transferring the money required for such an effort.

 

This is an area that needs security so that no one can access the funds of the investor. In this process, the role of an intermediary is eliminated and the amount is directly debited from the bank account of an investor. For this, investors have to fill a form, giving the required details of his/her bank account.

 

However, another restriction that will come into play at this stage is that some mutual funds allow only few specified banks for transactions.

 

Viewing and security: After registration, investors can view the details of their existing investments and can then transact as they want.


Also, there has to be a focus on the security aspect of the investment. There are necessary safeguard built into the application and software that is used for this purpose. This will include features like SMS not being saved on the phone or the use of a personal identification number for the purpose of completing the transaction.

 

These are means to protect the safety of the individual and there is a need for them to ensure that they also take the required steps to safeguard their details. This is significant because if the details go into the wrong hands then there are chances that a fraud might actually take place.

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds     `HOW green was my valley'. 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...
