We like this fund for its mandate to invest in the smaller capitalised companies which account for as high as 70 per cent of its portfolio. The inherent risk aside, such an allocation gives scope to invest in several undiscovered stocks.

 

Strategy


It seeks to invest at least 65 per cent in equity and equity related securities of companies which are not part of the top 300 stocks by market capitalisation. The remaining 35 per cent might be invested in the top 300 stocks. The AMC has essential in-house research to identify various investment opportunities which focuses on past as well as current financial condition of a company and its potential value creation prospects to invest in the small-cap universe. This fund has a huge small-cap bias, with an average 73 per cent exposure to small-cap stocks this year; yet instead of a long tail, the fund manager maintains a tight portfolio of 46 stocks with exposure to individual stocks going above 5 per cent only on few instances.

 

Performance


This fund was launched as a closed-end fund in May, 2007 which protected it from panic investor exit during the height of the 2008 financial crisis. The risk associated with high exposure to small cap stocks is immense, but this fund has done extremely well, especially in rising markets which is expected from a fund with such an orientation. It turned open-ended in June 2010 and ended the year being the best in the category. It was able to achieve this performance by investing in quality growth companies in the small-cap universe such as TTK Prestige, Kennametal India and Shasun Pharmaceuticals. In 2011, this fund lost significantly, owing to the changing fortunes of the market, which had its cascading effect on small-cap stocks that got hammered.

 

This year, the fund has regained its performance and emerged to be the best in its category. It managed to recover its performance with the rise in the markets and by altering its investments in construction and chemicals sector. Higher allocation and select stock picks helped it earn higher returns.

 

Why invest?


Investors looking for a higher exposure to small-cap stocks will find no fund better than this which exactly does that with great fund management principles. The fund has an exit load of 1 per cent when exited before two years, which one should keep in mind when investing.

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...

Factors Affecting Silver Rates in India

  Factors Affecting Silver Rates in India There are a lot of factors at play that impact silver prices in India. Even though silver rates have shown a steady increase over the last two decades, the historical trends should not be taken as a benchmark when considering future price volatility. Investment in silver as a commodity has gained steam in the country, and investors need to factor in various variables if they are to make decent profits from silver in the short/long run. Large investors:   The silver market is much smaller than the gold market. As such, large investors or traders can potentially influence silver prices. A point in case here is Warren Buffet buying 130 million troy ounces of silver in 1997 at $4.50/ounce, which impacted market prices. Oil prices:   Mining of silver is an energy-intensive process, and so silver prices are correlated with oil prices, the primary energy source in today's world. Also, imported silver requires a strong logistics platform backed by ...
