Here are the answers to the simplest queries that you may have before investing in FMPs

 

When does the term of an FMP start, from the date of purchase or the date of closing of NFO?


The term of an FMP starts from the date of allotment which can differ from the closing date of NFO. The allotment process is usually completed within 5 days of closure of NFO and the units are credited to investors' accounts.

 

How do I redeem after maturity?
You do not need to file a redemption request with the fund house at maturity of the scheme. AMCs are bound to transfer redemption proceeds within 10 days from the date of maturity. The amount you get will be determined by the scheme NAV on the redemption date. This amount will be automatically credited to your registered bank account if direct credit option is available with your bank or else redemption warrants will be issued to you.

 

Do I need a demat account for redemption of FMP?


You don't need a demat account to get the redemption proceeds. However, you need one if you want to trade the FMP on exchange before maturity.

 

How are FMPs different from short-term funds?


Liquidity is the biggest differentiating factor between the two funds. While FMPs are closed-end, short-term funds are open-ended, meaning you can enter or exit short-term funds any time.

 

FMPs invest in instruments with same or lower maturity than the scheme. This means that regardless of change in interest rates, the returns that would be realised are known. Short-term funds, though, can invest in instruments with varying maturity, depending on the fund manager's outlook for interest rates. So if a short-term fund has invested in bonds with longer maturity it can suffer interest rate risk.

 

I want to invest in current FMPs through secondary market. How do I go about this?


All FMPs have to be compulsorily listed on exchange. If you are able to find a seller for the FMP you want to invest in, you can buy units of the scheme from the stock market like you buy an equity share. It is highly unlikely that you will find sellers and therefore low liquidity.

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...

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   The economy goes through cycles : it expands for a few years and then contracts. Study of historical data suggests that different sectors tend to perform well on the stock markets during different stages of the economic cycle. While history never repeats itself exactly, some broad patterns tend to recur. Investors can take advantage of the sector rotation theory to move their money from those sectors that have seen their best times to those that are likely to do well in future.   The person who developed the sector rotation theory is Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor's.
