Morgan Stanley has provided an exit option to investors from May 22, 2014 till June 20, 2014.

 

HDFC Mutual Fund is set to merge eight schemes of Morgan Stanley Mutual Fund post acquisition of the latter's schemes. Morgan Stanley has provided an exit option to its investor from May 22 till June 20 without charging any exit load. The merger is likely to happen in June end.

 

Financial advisors said that the merger bodes well for investors and they are recommending their clients to stay invested in Morgan Stanley schemes. "HDFC has a good track record and they can manage the schemes of Morgan Stanley well. We have advised our clients to stay invested. HDFC has managed the schemes of Zurich well," said Rajesh Hattangady of THiiNK.

 

Nikhil Kothari of Etica Wealth Management said "Investors have to see if the transferee scheme's objective is similar with their existing scheme. For instance, HDFC Inflation Indexed Bond Fund is different from Morgan Stanley Gilt Fund. Similarly, A.C.E Fund is not similar to HDFC Small & Mid Cap Fund. Though HDFC is a good AMC, investors have to see if their risk appetite matches with that of the new scheme. If not, they can move out and invest in schemes having similar objectives within HDFC or with any other fund house. Debt fund investors of Morgan Stanley can remain invested."



















Investors in the schemes of Morgan Stanley have to bear capital gain tax after the merger since merger amounts to redemption. While no long term capital gains tax has to be borne by investors if they have completed one year in equity scheme, debt fund investors have to bear capital gains tax of 10% without indexation and 20% with indexation.

 

Morgan Stanley Multi Asset Fund (Plan A and Plan B), Plan A will be renamed as HDFC Dynamic PE Ratio Fund of Funds and Plan B will be merged into it.

To avoid duplication of schemes, HDFC will also merge its HDFC Focused Large-Cap Fund into HDFC Equity Fund on June 20, 2014. Launched in 2006, HDFC Focused Large Cap Fund manages Rs. 406 crore. There will be no changes in the fundamental attributes of HDFC Equity Fund.  

 

HDFC Short Term Plan which will accommodate investors of Morgan Stanley Short Term Bond Fund will undergo change in its fundamental attribute.

As on April 2014, HDFC AMC managed Rs. 1.24 lakh crore while Morgan Stanley had assets under management of Rs. 2,572 crore as on March 2014.

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...

Good time to invest in Infrastructure Funds

Mutual Funds: Past Performance is not just everything

Many a times your agent / distributor / relationship manager tries to push you some mutual fund schemes by enticing you with a typical sales pitch…"Sir, this scheme has generated 20% returns in the past one year." And this sales pitch often gets louder when the market conditions have been favourable. Some of the agents / distributors / relationship managers have another unique way of luring you. They say, "Sir / madam this scheme has been awarded the best scheme award in the past by a leading business channel"... And hearing all these sales talks you investors very often get attracted and sign a cheque in favour of the respective scheme.   But please ask yourself do you hear these sales talks when the capital markets turn turbulent? Why is it so that your agent / distributor / relationship manager avoids talking to you during turbulent times of the capital markets and doesn't boast about returns generated by the respective funds or awards being conferred on t...

Tax Planning: Income tax and Section 80C

In order to encourage savings, the government gives tax breaks on certain financial products under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
