If you have been associated with the world of mutual funds for more than a decade, chances are that you would have had some tryst with SBI Magnum Global, the star performer of the early and mid 2000s. Like quite a few other funds launched in the 1990s, this fund too had its hey days, under the tutelage of then ace fund manager Sandip Sabharwal, but fell by the wayside in its success journey.

But the fund is now on a redeeming act, after R Srinivasan, the fund manager of the now popular Magnum Emerging Businesses fund, took over the helm in 2009. While its return of 6.3% annually in the last 3 years may not per se look good, that's comfortably higher than category average return of just 0.6% a year. It is also far superior to the -4.2 per cent return annually of its benchmark CNX Midcap.

SBI Magnum Global holds a portfolio of domestic stocks with a predominantly mid-cap bias. It cannot strictly be said that the fund has a mandate of investing in mid-cap stocks; as even up to 2003, the fund had a good dose of large caps. But since then, its consistently high exposure to the mid-cap market segment has led to the scheme being stamped as a mid-cap fund.

Suitability


If you are holding SBI Magnum Global, you can stay with it if you have reasonable risk appetite. If you wish to hold mid-cap funds in your core portfolio, then the likes of IDFC Premier Equity or HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities should be your first choice, given their superior risk-adjusted returns. Funds such as Magnum Global can at best be good diversifiers.

You may also wonder how this fund is different from its sister from the same stable, SBI Emerging Businesses. The latter is a more aggressive mid and small-cap fund with more concentrated bets on stocks. That means it sports a higher risk-return profile when compared with Magnum Global.

Performance


SBI Magnum Global may not have delivered superior returns when paired with the likes of IDFC Premier Equity or HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities on a point-to-point basis in the last 5 years. But its SIP returns outdo these funds marginally.

Over a 5-year SIP period, the fund delivered 8.6% annually, compared with 8% for HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities and 8.4% for IDFC Premier Equity. This, of course, suggests that the fund's NAV provides enough opportunities to averages costs quite well. That happens only when its NAV is much more volatile than the peers. So Magnum Global can be good candidate for investing through SIP.

On a rolling one-year return basis between 2010 and 2013, the fund beat its benchmark 88% of the times, suggesting reasonable consistency.

More recently, in 2011 as well as on a year-to-date basis, the fund has stayed remarkably stable amidst heavy volatility in the mid-cap space. It fell 14% in 2011 as against category average of 25%. In 2013, thus far, it lost just 6.4% as against 13.4% by peers. Magnum Emerging Businesses lost 15% over the same period. Clearly, the latter is the more aggressive one, going by portfolio and performance.

Portfolio


SBI Magnum Global and SBI Emerging Businesses sport quite a few stocks in common; being managed by the same fund manager. Page Industries, Divi's Laboratories, Shriram City Union Finance and Redington India, to name a few, are some of the common stocks in their kitty.


But the concentrated holding in SBI Emerging Businesses Fund is the key differentiator. For example, Page Industries, which is the top fund held by SBI Magnum Global accounted for just 3.8% of its portfolio as of May 2013. But the same stock, which was the third top stock in the portfolio of SBI Emerging Businesses, was held to the tune of 5.9% of the assets.

It is because of its more diversified and less concentrated approach, that SBI Magnum Global may fall less in downturns compared with its sister fund. That said, this can also cap the kind of gains that the sister fund may enjoy.

The sector choices between the 2 funds are also vastly different. Sectors such as industrial manufacturing are hardly present in SBI Emerging Businesses while it was among the top 3 sectors held by SBI Magnum Global as of May. Right now, Magnum Global holds a good number of 'growth stocks' but some of which look like 'value' in a down market.

For Retirement Invest in growth Assets

Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Buy Gold Mutual Funds Leave a missed Call on 94 8300 8300   Last week, I wrote about the need for retired investors to have a growth component in their corpus to fight inflation. In the financial advisory space, it’s a challenge to convince retired investors to take risks in order to achieve capital appreciation in their portfolios. Many choose a compromised lifestyle and curb their expenses in retirement. What should they do instead? There are only two ways to create a large corpus: saving a large part of the income, or investing the saving in growth assets. In a country of savers, the first has been the natural choice. However, the second deserves attention. An investor who is saving for retirement is trying to replace the human asset with an investment asset that will generate the require...

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

Systematic withdrawal plan

  Start Systematic withdrawal plan Online Although an SWP gives you regular income and saves on taxes in the long term, you cannot open an SWP on a scheme where you have an ongoing SIP   iStockPhoto If you are planning to take a sabbatical from work or are retiring soon, you may be looking at different investment options that give a regular income. Usually, a lump sum is invested to get regular fixed amounts later. Popular products include post office monthly income scheme, Senior Citizens' Savings Scheme and monthly income plans (MIPs). A lesser known option is the systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) in mutual funds. Recently, some funds have even removed the exit load on SWPs if you were to withdraw up to 15-20% in the first year, to encourage people who want to start investing in this instrument. Here is a look at what an SWP is. WHAT IS SWP? Many of us would be familiar with a systematic investment plan (SIP ), where a corpus ...

Stocks with a high dividend yield

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Stocks with a high-dividend yield can provide investors additional cash flow. More importantly, it is tax-free   With April 2011 just over, the 'earnings season' is well and truly here. This is the time most companies pay out a portion of their profits as dividends to shareholders. Since dividends are tax-free, they are an attractive income source with a select class of investors, who depend on these for additional cash flow. SIGNIFICANCE A company doing well and generating profits will usually be in a position to declare dividends regularly. Hence, a key parameter one should look at whilst investing in a stock is whether the company has a good dividend record. Typically, dividend yield stocks are large-caps and generally not capital-intensive. This is suggestive of the fact that the downside risk on...
