Large and Midcap Mutual Funds for 2014

 

Funds in this category suit those who are averse to wide fluctuations in their investment returns

Funds in this category have a large cap bias along with a limited exposure to mid and small cap stocks which perfectly suits those who are averse to wide fluctuations in their investment returns.

 

While large cap allocation of these funds provides downside protection to the portfolio, exposure to mid and small cap stocks gives it an extra edge to generate superior returns.

 

Here are India's finest funds in the large and mid cap space :

 

Birla Sun Life Frontline Equity    Invest Online


This fund invests in the universe of BSE 200 stocks and broadly follows its sector weightings. This enforces portfolio diversification across market cycles. This makes the fund more stable than its peers in both bull and bear markets. The fund's disciplined approach with modest flexibility to emphasise sectors and stocks in its portfolio has helped it beat the benchmark consistently. The fund takes a cash call only during extreme occasions. An attractive fund for investors seeking growth from a diversified portfolio and predictable strategy.

 

Canara Robeco Equity Diversified     Invest Online


This fund consistently does well across market cycles compared to its benchmark and peers which is in line with its stated goal of long-term capital appreciation. A blend of growth and value style of investing in quality mid-cap stocks aids the fund in posting consistent returns. A well diversified portfolio and higher allocation to defensives during the economic slowdown has aided the performance, making it a suitable choice for long-term investment.

 

ICICI Prudential Dynamic Plan             Invest Online


This fund does remarkably well during falling markets, but fails to show the same prowess during a rising market. 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.

 

Mirae Asset India Opportunities          Invest Online


The scheme manages to sail through the market ups and down with equal ease as it has delivered good returns irrespective of the market cycle. The fund's goal is to identify future growth trends at an early stage and focus on companies which have strong pricing power and are sector leaders. It follows a flexible investment strategy across sectors, market caps, themes and style to achieve the same, which is reflected in its consistent performance over the past five years.

 

Quantum Long Term Equity      Invest Online


This fund does well when the markets fall and posts an above-average performance when they are rising. The fund follows a buy and hold approach to attractively valued stocks which has been the highlight of its performance. The fund's low-cost advantage further adds to its performance. A conservative value based investing style with portfolio diversification and liquidity makes it a good choice for all those investors looking for a low risk and consistent option in this space.

 

UTI Equity    Invest Online


This fund has a chequered past, but has done very well in recently. The fund follows a high large-cap exposure, which has helped in its performance during uncertain times such as now, where large-caps provide greater visibility to revenue and earnings growth. Further, reduced equity exposure and increased debt and cash holdings during prolonged falls have also helped in containing losses, making it a good choice for investors looking for a low-risk long-term option.

Avoid NFOs

  Don't get taken in by the flurry of new fund offers. You will be better off sticking to the tried and tested schemes.   For the past one year, to cash in on the bull run in equities, mutual fund houses have gone on a new fund offer (NFO) overdrive. But experts are unanimous in their advice: avoid NFOs . While past performance is not an indicator of how a fund will fare in the future, it does tell the investor how skilful the fund manager is. This crucial information is missing in an NFO. Not only is there no track record to judge an NFO by, many NFOs are similar to funds that already exist. If the new fund is similar to existing funds, you are better off investing in the latter. Around 67% of the new launches in 2014 were closed-end products. Investing in the NFO of a closed-end fund is doubly risky. In case the fund's performance is lacklustre, a closed-end fund does not allow you to exit. Even though closed-end funds are listed on the stock...

Franklin India High Growth Companies Fund

Franklin India High Growth Companies Fund Online One of the key developments that the Street is keenly waiting for is a cut in interest rates by Reserve Bank of India . With demand rising gradually, a rate cut is expected to boost earnings growth for companies. In such a situation, schemes which invest in high growth companies are best suited, especially when seen from a long-term perspective. One such scheme is Franklin India High Growth Companies Fund. Fund managers Anand Radhakrishnan, Roshi Jain and Srikesh Nair strictly follow valuation parameters when it comes to choosing stocks.Valuation parameters, such as enterprise value, price-to-earnings growth ratio, forward price-to-sales ratio and discounted earnings per share, play a critical role in selecting companies for investments. Taking into account these parameters, the fund managers invest in companies which are poised for high growth in their respective sectors. This approach has been in favour of the scheme and it has perform...

Debt Mutual Fund Dividends are Taxable

DDT is deducted when a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity and balanced fund dividends are tax-free The AMC is correct to deduct the dividend distribution tax (DDT) as it is mandated by tax laws. DDT in mutual funds is deducted every time a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity fund and balanced fund dividends are tax-free . It is possible that you have invested in a non-equity fund for the first time or have received the dividend under a non-equity fund for the first time. That is why this is the first occasion when you have come across DDT.   The rate at which non-equity schemes deduct DDT has also gone up after the July 2014 budget. This is due to a change in calculation methodology. Earlier, if the fund has to declare a dividend of R 100, it used to make a provision for R 128.3, paying R 28.3 to the taxman and distributing the balance to the investor. This allowed the investor to bear less tax since the effective tax rate was 22.07 per ce...

RBI frees savings rates in cooperative banks

Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Current open Infra Bond Application form The central bank had deregulated rates for commercial banks in October THE Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday deregulated interest rate on savings accounts in all state and central cooperative banks, a move that will fetch better returns for depositors. RBI had freed these rates for the scheduled commercial banks in October.
