Mutual Fund Reivew: Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative

Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative has numbers on its side to prove its credibility… Don't be surprised to find this Fund of Funds ( FoF ) in our recommendations. It has earned its place. And despite the difference in the structure of the product, there is no arguing with the numbers. Of the total 6 years of its existence, the fund has been among the top 10 funds in its category in four of them. Last year it put up an average show and the only year it underperformed its peers was in 2008. One aspect to look at when investing in an FoF is the expense ratio. The expense ratio of an FoF is capped at a lower limit of 0.75 per cent (2.50% for an actively managed fund). However, the FoF not only has its own expense (though lower) but even the expense ratio of the fund it is investing into. Fortunately, the fund manager takes that into account. "Expense is one of the important criteria used for fund selection and is the main reason for our investment in BSL Ind...

Short-Term Bond Funds

These are schemes that invest in fixed income instruments of short durations. Short-term bond funds with less than one year duration are good investment options provided you have a one-year investment horizon. Lower average maturity of the fund ensures that the fund NAV is not hit much when short-term interest rates move up. We expect the RBI to hike the policy rates by 50 to 75 basis points in this calendar year. That makes it a bit tricky for short-term bond fund investors. Check the average maturity and exit load before you invest in a short-term bond fund. As a rule of thumb, the average maturity should be less than your investment time frame. Some funds do charge an exit load if you log out early. To avoid such a cut in the returns earned, it is better to check at what threshold of time the fund charges an exit load. The funds have a wide range of 'exit load' thresholds. Some charge an exit load if you were to redeem units within 90 days, while there are some that let ...

Short-Term Investment Options in Mutual Funds

Mutual funds offer liquid funds and ultra short term funds in the debt category, which are suitable for short investment periods. Ultra short-term funds were earlier known as liquid plus funds. Liquid funds invest in money market instruments with a maturity of 91 days or less. However, there are no such restrictions for ultra short-term funds. Who should invest in these? These are open-ended schemes. Investors with a short investment horizon or with surplus cash and low risk appetite should look at these. These could include corporate as well as retail investors. Those interested in staying invested for less than 15 days can opt for liquid funds. Retail investors who want to remain invested for two-four months, can look at ultra short-term funds. The short duration for both liquid and ultra short-term funds shields them from any interest rate volatility. What kind of returns do they offer? In terms of an investment period less than 15 days, these funds are comparable to a ba...
