BSL Frontline Equity Fund

 

Strategy


The fund's investment strategy is in line with the BSE 200. This way its allocation is sprinkled across the sectors which brings in stability. Allocation to large caps is close to 75 per cent while market gyrations of last 2 years have seen its allocation to mid- and small-caps come down. Though the fund has the mandate to pick stocks from outside the ambit of BSE 200, it has largely stuck with the benchmark with just 10 to 20 per cent of the investment going outside it over the past 5 years. Sector-wise allocation though is mostly in proportion to the benchmark.

 

Its dominant sectors include automobiles, FMCG, financial, technology and energy. Banking and FMCG performed well last year which is reflected in performance. Its stock picks such as ING Vysya and IndusInd Bank also topped charts last year.

 

The fund's average equity allocation is around 90 per cent but sometimes takes cash calls; the most recent instance being 2008 when it went up to 20 per cent. But it reduced this exposure when market outlook improved.

 

Only two stocks -- Reliance Industries and Bharti Airtel -- have been a constant in its portfolio. Otherwise, it has around 70 stocks in the portfolio, significantly higher than the category average of around 52.

 

Performance


The first 3 years were difficult for the fund with its performance in the debut year underperforming the category by as much as 17 per cent. But it pulled up its socks in 2006 and rest as they say is history. It has outperformed the category average in all subsequent years and been a part of the top 50 per cent in terms of performance.

All this has seen its assets going up spectacularly in the last 4 years and the climbing up to the fifth position in the category. Its 5-year annualised return is 9.13 per cent, way higher than the category average of 5.17 per cent and benchmark return of 2.83 per cent.

 

Why invest?


This fund stays at the forefront when it comes to performance as it has outperformed the category average in most years. It has rewarded its investors in the long as well as short term by being diversified and following a focused approach towards investing.

Happy 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...
