The fund provides a blend of growth and value style of investing, with an average equity investment of 90 per cent. Owing to the tribulations in the market over the last few years, the fund's focus has shifted to large cap stocks in lookout for stability. The large cap exposure has touched 75 per cent now. At the same time, mid caps continue to find favour, though the stock needs to be really compelling.

 

Talking about individual stock allocation, the highest currently is 6 per cent in ITC, which had touched 11 per cent not so long ago. Otherwise, it has less than 1.5 per cent of its assets in a trail of stocks. As on March 31, 2013 the number of such stocks was 35.

 

It has investments in almost all the sectors even though it might not be significant. It entered the FMCG sector in 2010 which coincided with the fund manager change and its allocation to the same has been on an uptrend since then. Higher allocation to defensive sectors have aided its performance during economic slowdown.

 

Performance


The fund underperformed in its first 2 years. But steadied itself thereafter as its returns have surpassed the category average regularly since 2006. The year 2009 stands out as it was the year when it outperformed the category average by over 12 per cent and has been one of the top performing funds in its category for the past 5 years.

 

Pertinently, the fund does well in both bull and bear phases of the market owing to the fact that it is largely well diversified across market capitalisation and sectors. It fell by only 15 per cent while the category average fell by 23.19 per cent in the market crash of 2011. The fund's trailing returns are also attractive as it has generated a 5-year annualised return of 11.85 per cent while the category average is 5.86 per cent.

 

Frequent change of fund managers, though, sticks out as a sore thumb in an otherwise well-performing fund.

 

Why invest?


The ability to pick winner stocks individually without paying too much heed to the sector performance has served the fund brilliantly. Though tilted towards large caps, selective mid caps help it punch above its weight.

Happy Investing!!

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...

Equity investors should track market developments

The stock markets have been volatile over the last few days. They are in a sideways movement and trying to find the bottom after a fall of 20 percent a week ago. The market sentiments are not very positive at the moment and the recent developments are expected to dampen them further. Globally, governments and central banks are trying to cut rates and announce packages to improve business sentiments. These are some of the major developments in the markets last few month: A) Global On the global front, another large US bank went into a financial crisis. The US government took quick measures to avoid the spread negative sentiments in the markets. The US government announced a bail-out package and agreed to shoulder the losses on the bank's risky assets. China announced a large cut in interest rates and reserve ratio to boost the investor sentiments in the markets. Recently, the World Bank announced China's growth rate next year will come down to 7.5 percent. The European ...

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...
