IDFC Premier Equity Fund

CRISIL ranks the IDFC Premier Equity fund as one of the top consistent performers (Rank 1) amongst mutual funds across all equity categories. The IDFC Premier Equity Fund aims to outperform the market and generate superior returns by investing in a diversified portfolio of small and mid-cap companies with high growth potential.

While, inherently small and mid-cap funds are more risky than large cap funds, they have the potential to generate superior returns, since midcap companies generally have higher growth potential compared to large cap companies, both in terms of earnings and valuations.

 

Within the mid-cap funds category, IDFC Premier Equity fund has not only been a strong performer, but one of the most consistent ones across several time periods. It has consistently outperformed many of its peers in the mid-cap mutual fund category, as well as the CNX Midcap index.

 

IDFC Premier Equity Fund – Fund Overview

This fund is suitable for investors looking for high capital appreciation over a long term, with limited downside potential in volatile markets. As such the fund is suitable for investors planning for retirement, children’s education, wealth creation or other long term financial objectives. The fund was launched in September 2005. It has a large AUM base of nearly Rs 3600 crores, and has therefore managed to keep its expense ratio quite low at only 1.88%. The fund manager of this scheme is Kenneth Andrade. Kenneth has been managing the fund since 2006 and has established himself as one of the best fund managers in the mid cap category. He focuses on high quality mid cap stocks with high growth potential. His disciplined investment approach has led to excellent risk adjusted returns in different market conditions over the years. The scheme is open both for growth and dividend plans. The current NAV (as on Mar 2 2014) is 42.9 for the growth plan and 25.3 for the dividend plan.

Portfolio Construction

The fund selects well established good quality mid-cap companies stocks with strong long term earnings potential for the portfolio. Typically the companies in the portfolio are leaders within their segments. From a sector perspective, the fund has substantial exposure to services, FMCG, textiles and engineering. The portfolio is very well diversified, in terms of company concentration, with its top 5 holdings, Page Industries, Kaveri Seeds, Blue Dart, Bata and MRF accounting for less than 26% of the total portfolio value. The fund also holds around 9% of its portfolio in cash equivalents as a cushion to downside risks in volatile market conditions.

Risk & Return

It is in terms of risk adjusted returns that the fund scores very highly. The annualized standard deviations of monthly returns for three to five year periods are in the range of 15 to 21%, which is significantly lower than the volatility of mid cap funds as a category.

 

SIP and Lump Sum Returns

The chart below shows returns as on Mar 2, 2014 (NAV of 42.9) of Rs 5000 monthly SIP in the IDFC Premier Equity Fund Growth Plan, for respective years since inception (in Sep 2005). The SIP date has been assumed to first working day of the month. The amounts are shown in Rs. lakhs.

 

If the investor had invested a lump sum amount of Rs 1 lakh in the NFO in Sep 2005, his or her investment would have grown more than four times to nearly Rs 4.3 lakhs. This implies a compounded annual return of 18.7%.

The IDFC Premier Equity Fund has a strong record of delivering excellent performance across different market cycles. The fund navigated through the market downturns and volatile conditions much better than its peer. As discussed earlier, consistency of performance is an important criterion in selecting a mutual fund. The IDFC Premier Equity fund has been a top pick for many investment portfolios. Investors can consider investing in the fund only through the systematic investment plan (SIP) route or Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) route for their long term financial planning objectives as the fund is not accepting any lump sum investment as of now. The fund also has a good dividend payout track record and as such is suitable for investors who prefer dividend distribution plan. Investors should consult with their financial advisors if the IDFC Premier Equity Fund is suitable for their investment portfolio, in line with their risk profiles.
