HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities Fund

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online

Though there is no clear methodology to arrive at a defined mid- and small-cap universe, it focuses on companies that have a higher return potential based on factors such as price discovery by market being not full, better growth prospects in a new segment, ability to gain market share due to new technology or better product service and room for P/E multiples to expand. Average allocation per stock is not high (3 per cent) which has resulted in a long and diversified portfolio of 67 stocks, higher than the category average of 47. Mid-caps garner a share of 58 per cent allocation while rest in small-caps.

 

Performance


The fund didn't crumble like a pack of cards in the market crash of 2008, though it lost some of its sheen in 2009 when it gave a marginal underperformance as compared to the category average. But it was back on its feet the very next year and outperformed the category average by over 10 per cent in the market crash of 2011.
When it comes to portfolio details, the fund has consistently held stocks for more than five years. These include mid caps like IPCA Laboratories, Solar Industries, Exide Industries, Crompton Greaves and Jagran Prakashan and small caps like Sundaram Fasteners, Grindwell Norton and Carborundum Universal.


Though its small-cap bets have gone wrong more often than one would like, it makes up for the loss by picking solid mid-caps.


The biggest winners for the fund are IPCA Labs, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare, Lupin and Bata India.

ICICI Prudential Dynamic Plan Invest Online

The fund sticks to its mandate to adapt to the dynamic nature of the market by shuttling between debt and equity. It takes aggressive asset calls in equity when the market surges by investing in quality mid-cap stocks. At the same time, it adopts a defensive strategy by investing in debt and cash when markets get overvalued, making it a good long-term choice.     For further information contact Prajna Capital on 94 8300 8300 by leaving a missed call     Leave a missed Call on 94 8300 8300   Leave your comment with mail ID and we will ...

Mutual Fund Review: ING Dividend Yield

  ING Dividend Yield's small assets enable the fund manager to churn in impressive returns… Strategy The aim of the fund is to invest in stocks which offer a high dividend yield. This fund deploys a value based strategy which aims to gain from investing in fundamentally strong and free cash flow generating businesses. The scheme focuses not only on growth but also on the cash generated by the business, which mostly leads to stable returns even in volatile markets. This fund has a low volatility because of its investment in high yielding stocks. The scheme tries to include stocks that yield dividend above the dividend yield of the Nifty and stocks with liquidity, which throws up a universe of 150 stocks.   Our View Launched in October 2005, this fund invests at least 65 per cent of its assets in high dividend yield stocks.

About CRISIL IPO Grading

CRISIL IPO (Initial Public Offering) Grading is an opinion on the fundamentals of the graded issue that reflects CRISIL's independence and expertise. This opinion is expressed as a relative assessment in relation to other listed equity securities in India. The assessment is based on a grading exercise carried out by industry specialists from CRISIL Research. A CRISIL IPO Grade 5/5 indicates strong fundamentals and a CRISIL IPO Grade 1/5 indicates poor fundamentals. CRISIL IPO Grading reflects its assessment of the graded company's equity fundamentals as distinct from an assessment of debt fundamentals. A CRISIL IPO Grade should not be construed to mean a comment on the price of the graded security nor is it a recommendation to invest or not to invest in the graded security. However, this grade is not an opinion on whether the issue price is appropriate in relation to the issue fundamentals. The grade is not a recommendation to buy / sell or hold the graded instrument, or a comm...

Lump Sum or SIP?

Invest Mutual Fund Online     You have a lump sum in hand and you wish to invest in equity funds. However, you have heard a lot of talk about investing in equity funds through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) because they help average costs, ensure you do not ill-time the market, and help you invest in small sums, besides giving you many other advantages. So, should you invest the money you have in hand in one go, or let it remain in your bank account and then do an SIP? There is no harm in investing a lump sum amount. For all you know, compounding, over the long term, could work better with lump sum. However, make sure you fulfill all of these three criteria if you want to invest in one go. Else, SIP is the way to go. #1: You invest for the long term According to past data, ideally, if you have a time frame of 12 years or more, you can consider lump sum investing (provided you satisfy the other two conditions that follow). So, what is the sanctity behind 12 years? Is it because only...

Capital Protection Oriented Funds

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   Capital Protection Oriented Funds   Erosion of capital is one of the key concerns for investors wanting to invest in equity mutual funds. To address this concern, asset management companies have launched Capital Protection Oriented Funds (CPOFs). What are CPOFs? CPOFs are generally three to five-year, closed-ended funds where 70-80% of the portfolio is invested in fixed income securities, which mature on or before the scheme's tenure. The investment in fixed income securities grows to 100% at the end of the tenure, providing the investor with capital protection. The remaining portion (20-30%) is used to take exposure to equity, which provides the upside. Exposure to equities is either by directly buying equity stocks (plain vanilla CPOFs) or by b...
