TWO Tata group entities — Tata Asset Management and Tata Realty & Infrastructure — are collaborating with each other to float a real estate mutual fund that aims to raise as much as Rs 500 crore from domestic high net worth investors, to invest in completed, revenueearning real estate assets pan-India.

"Tata Mutual Fund will be floating a Rs 300 crore yield-oriented realty fund with an option to retain another Rs 200 crore above the base amount. The proceeds are expected to be invested in commercial real estate assets such as occupied infotech parks with a stable tenant mix," said a top Tata group official.

While Tata Mutual fund will use its network to tap high net worth investors across the country, Tata Realty & Infrastructure (TRIL), a subsidiary of Tata Sons, will be in charge of sourcing appropriate deals for the fund that will allow the scheme to earn a regular stream of income and benefit from capital appreciation over the life of the fund.

TRIL may even consider selling IT parks that it has developed and leased out to marquee clients, to the fund to help the scheme accrue income as soon as possible.

The infrastructure development arm of the $100billion Tata group will also help the fund, manage and maintain the properties to ensure that they remain grade-A office structures.

"We will be making an application to the Securities & Exchange Board of India for a six-year alternate investment fund that will invest in rent earning commercial and retail real estate assets," a top Tata MF official told Financial Chronicle. Interestingly, TRIL is also an adviser to an offshore $700 million real estate fund that has invested in FDI-compliant projects across India. That fund is fully invested in a range of real estate projects pan-India.

The Tatas hope that they will be able to attract high net worth investors to diversify their portfolio by investing in this fund. At present, HDFC Ventures and Anand Rathi group run similar yield-oriented real estate funds. If they manage to raise Rs 500 crore, it will make the fund the largest such yield-oriented domestic realty fund operational.

Capital appreciation-oriented real estate private equity funds, which focused on buying land or developing properties, have had a mixed track record in India due to the delays in developing such properties that have ultimately affected the returns. While yield funds steer clear of developmental risks and try to minimise price risks by apt property selection, they too face issues such as lease periods for commercial real estate normally being of three to five years duration whereas internationally they are of a far longer tenure.
 

Globally, such yield-oriented real estate funds attract pension funds too as investors said fund industry experts. "TRIL will also help us conduct due diligence on the suitability of the assets proposed to be acquired by the fund. To provide more confidence to investors the Tata group will contribute around 15 per cent of the corpus of the fund," said a top Tata group official.

Tata Mutual Fund

Being a part of the Tata group, the fund has the backing of a very trusted brand name with strong retail connect. While the current CEO has done an excellent job in leveraging the Tata brand name to AMC's advantage, it is ironic that this was just not capitalised on at the start. Incorporated in 1995, Tata Mutual Fund remained an 'also-ran' fund house for around eight years. Till March 2003, it had a little over Rs 1,000 crore in assets and 19 AMCs were ahead of it. But soon after that the equation changed. It was the fastest growing fund house in 2004 and 2005. During these two years, it aggressively launched six equity funds, two debt funds and one MIP. The fund house as of now stands at No. 8 in terms of asset size. This fund house has a lot to offer by way of choice. And, it also has a number of well performing schemes. Tata Pure Equity, Tata Equity PE and Tata Infrastructure are all good funds. It also has quite a few good debt funds. The funds of Tata AMC are known to...

UTI Mutual Fund

Even though only a few of UTI’s funds are great performers, this public sector fund house has many advantages that its rivals do not. It has a huge base of retail equity investors and a vast distribution network. As a business, it looks stronger than ever, especially in the aftermath of credit crunch. UTI is, by a large margin, the most profitable fund company in the country. This is not surprising, since managing equity funds is more profitable than debt. Its conservative approach and stable parentage is likely to make it look more attractive to investors in times to come. UTI’s big problem is the dragging performance that many of its equity funds suffer from. In recent times, the management has made a concerted effort to improve performance. However, these moves have coincided with a disastrous phase in the stock markets and that has made it impossible to judge whether the overhaul will eventually be a success. UTI’s top performers are a few index funds, some hybrid funds and its inf...

8 Investing Strategy

The stock market ‘meltdown’ witnessed since the start of 2005 (notwithstanding the recent marginal recovery) has once again brought to the forefront an inherent weakness existent in our markets. This is the fact that FIIs, indisputably and almost entirely, dominate the Indian stock market sentiments and consequently the market movements. In this article, we make an attempt to list down a few points that would aid an investor in mitigating the risks and curtailing the losses during times of volatility as large investors (read FIIs) enter and exit stocks. Read on Manage greed/fear: This is an important point, which every investor must keep in mind owing to its great influencing ability in equity investment decisions. This point simply means that in a bull run - control the greed factor, which could entice you, the investor, to compromise with your investment principles. By this we mean that while an investor could get lured into investing in penny and small-cap stocks owing to their eye-...

Debt Funds - Check The Expiry Date

This time we give you an insight into something that most debt fund investors would be unaware of, the Average Portfolio Maturity. As we all know, debt funds invest in bonds and securities. These instruments mature over a certain period of time, which is called maturity. The maturity is the length of time till the principal amount is returned to the security-holder or bond-holder. A debt fund invests in a number of such instruments and each of these instruments would be having different maturity times. Hence, the fund calculates a weighted average maturity, which would give a fair idea of the fund's maturity period. For example, if a fund owns three bonds of 2-year (Rs 30,000), 3-year (Rs 10,000) and 5-year (Rs 20,000) maturities, its weighted average maturity would be 3.17 years. What is the big deal about average maturity then, you may ask. Well, knowing a fund's average maturity is important because it tells you how sensitive a fund is to the change in interest rates. It is ...
