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.

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...

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...

Good time to invest in Infrastructure 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   Good time to invest in infrastructure The Sensex has gained almost 10 per cent from May 15 till date, while the CNX Infrastructure Index has gained almost 17 per cent in the period. The price to earnings ( P/ E) ratio of the BSE Sensex is 18.96; for the CNX Infrastructure Index, it is 24.57. The estimated P/ E for next year is 14.04 for the Sensex. Of the 24 companies that make up the CNX Infrastructure Index, six have a P/ E higher than 20. Does this mean infrastructure is fairly valued? Or, has it run up quite a bit? According to experts, barring stray companies, the infra sector is fairly valued and it is a good time to invest. Even if some companies are facing debt restructuring problems, once interest rates come down and regulatory norms become flexible, they will start giving good re...

Nifty F&O

  1. What is a straddle? A strategy using Nifty options usually before a major event or when one is uncertain of market direction. Comprises purchase of a Nifty call and put option of the same strike price. Usually strikes are purchased closer to the level of the underlying index. 2. What is better ­ buying or selling a straddle? It depends.Implied volatili ty of options, or near-term expectations of price swings in an un derlier like Nifty , usually peaks before an event and falls when the outcome plays out ­ like Infy re sults in past years. However, once the event plays out, a sharp rise or fall in Nifty could result in price of the straddle rising ­ benefiting buy ers. But, normally , those who sell or write options charge hefty premiums from buyers in the hope that fall in volatility would ensure the options end out-of-the-money, hurting buyers. 3. So, do straddle sellers end up winning most of the time? Yes. That's invariably the case when market volatility is trending on the...
