How to Decide your asset allocation with Mutual Funds?

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) How to Decide your asset allocation ? The funds that base their equity allocation on market valuation have given stable returns in the past. Pick these if you are a buy-and-forget investor. Small investors are often victims of greed and fear. When markets are rising, greed makes the small investor increase his exposure to stocks. And when stocks crash to low levels, fear makes him redeem his investments. But there are a few funds that avoid this risk by continuously changing the asset mix of their portfolios. Their allocation to equity is not based on the fund manager's outlook for the market, but on its valuations. Our top pick is the Franklin Templeton Dynamic PE Ratio Fund, a fund of funds that divides its corpus between two schemes from the same fund house-the...

The landed price of the yellow metal had surged, pushing up the net asset value ( NAV ) of gold ETFs. However, the recent budget proposal by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has thrown a spanner in the works for gold fund investors. The revised tax structure for all non-equity funds, includi...

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Debt Option

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Invest Online     The scheme aims to generate optimal returns consistent with moderate levels of risk. It will invest atleast 65 per cent of its assets in debt instruments with maturity of more than 1 year and the rest in money market instruments (including cash or call money and reverse repo) and debentures with maturity of less than 1 year. The exposure in government securities will generally not exceed 50 percent of the assets. The fund uses a mix of relatively low portfolio duration with active investments in higher-yielding corporate bonds. It does not take aggressive duration calls but tries to improve returns by cherry-picking corporate bonds. This is reflected in the fund's returns matching the category and benchmark for five years - at 8.4 per cent - but lagging behind the category during a raging bull market in bonds in the last one year. The fund has been a consistent but not chart-topping performer in the income category. Despite its ...
