THERE are times when investors feel frustrated because their mutual funds fail to perform as expected. They hope that things would turn for the better but as the time passes by, this does not happen. The worse comes when the mutual fund gives up on the investment and the fund house plans to merge two or more schemes so that there is a different investment exposure that arises due to this. This leads to a situation where an overall evaluation is required by investors.

Nature of fund:

One of the key parts of the entire investment is that in many cases, the investor wants a specific exposure and thus looks for a particular fund that can suit their needs. For example, if an investor wants an exposure to the infrastructure sector and hence has chosen a fund from this area then they would like to ensure that the nature of the investment is maintained. If the portfolio changes when the fund is merged with some other fund, then this condition would be violated. Investors would then have to ensure that they change their investment to some other fund that meets their original re quirements. This kind of check becomes necessary otherwise the change might affect the entire nature of their investment.

Possibility of gains:

A factor that is directly impacted by the merger of schemes is the expected return from a particular investment. A merger and a change in the overall portfolio can change the entire condition. It could be that after a long period of stagnation, there is a large rise in the returns that can be earned when the conditions in a particular area or sector get better. However, if the nature of the investment is changed, or the earlier portfolio gets diluted, then the amount that can be earned would not be possible. This will result in a situation where the possibility of the gains is not as expected. So, this becomes a critical factor to consider for investors.

Risk element:

There is a clear link between the risk and the returns that are expected. Usually, investors find that their positions are weakened when they face a risk that is higher than what they had initially expected.

While this could lead to some higher returns, the risk becomes something to worry about. However, when it comes to these kinds of mergers between schemes, then there is a chance that the position has actually reversed, which is also a major cause for concern for every investor.

If an investor is looking at a higher risk element to get the required return, then the change through the new investment could result in a position where the risk is now actually lower. But a lower risk might not always be good if the investor does not desire this and hence, while the investment might look slightly less risky, it would need to be in tune with the requirement of the investor. If this is not being done then the option would be to ensure that the choice in terms of the scheme is changed and that the necessary realignment takes place.

Happy Investing!!

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free. Turn to page 28 to see how much tax this can save. However, the take-home pay of the employee will come down. Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax upto Rs 46,350 under Section 80C.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds     `HOW green was my valley'. 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...

ELSS Funds are Best Tax Saving Option

Equity-linked saving schemes (ELSS) are the best way to save tax in 2017 . The Economic Times assessed 10 tax-saving options on eight key parameters, including returns, safety , liquidity , costs, transparency , flexibility , ease of investment and taxability of income. ELSS funds scored highest, followed by the National Pension System (NPS) and Ulips at the second and third place, respectively . The terrific returns generated by ELSS (CAGR of 18.7% in past three years and 17.46% in past five years) are not the only plus point of these funds. Their costs are very low (2.52.75% a year) and all charges, portfolios and transactions are in the public domain. Returns are tax free because long-term capital gains from equity funds are exempt and they have the shortest lock-in period of three years. Investing in ELSS funds has now become very easy with the launch of the e-KYC facility . The whole process does not take more than 30-35 minutes. The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Aut...
