L&T Mutual Fund has announced the launch of its closed end equity fund called L&T Emerging Businesses Fund. The NFO of the fund will open for subscription on April 22 and close on May 06, 2014.

 

This is L&T MF's first equity fund after acquisition of Fidelity MF.

 

At a press conference held in Mumbai, Ashu Suyash, Chief Executive Officer, L&T MF said, "With the launch of this fund, we are broadening our offering of equity funds. The fund provides an opportunity to benefit from investing in the undervalued segment of the market."

 

Sharing the rationale behind the fund, Soumendra Nath Lahiri, Head of Equities as well as fund manager of the scheme said, "Currently, the small cap space is very attractive as many good companies are available at fair valuations. Secondly, this segment is untapped. Only one fund is available in this space. Also, many companies in this space that have emerging businesses and where there is growth will reward investors who stay invested for a long time regardless of the market they are in."

 

On the investment strategy, he said that the fund would invest in companies which are in the early stage of development and have the potential to grow their revenues and profits at higher rate. The fund will follow a bottom-up strategy and focus on stocks with adequate margin and safety. Suyash described their equity investment process called GEM which stands for generation of ideas, evaluation of companies and manufacturing and monitoring of portfolios. 

 

L&T Emerging Business Fund is a two year close ended fund which would be converted into open-ended equity scheme afterwards. Lahiri said that the close end structure gives adequate time and flexibility to fund managers. "Due to untimely redemptions, fund managers have to sell assets which affect the entire portfolio and existing investors. Such pressures are like bouncers which keep fund managers on the back foot. Structuring a product close ended for two years will give us adequate time to establish good fund performance." 

 

The fund offers SIP in its scheme, first time in close ended equity scheme. Investors have to mandate tenure and number of SIP during the NFO period. Like ELSS, each SIP would have a close end structure with two year lock in.

 

Benchmarked against S&P BSE Small Cap Index, the scheme aims to generate capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of equity and equity related instruments. The minimum application amount is Rs. 5000. The scheme will charge an exit load of 1% if redeemed within 1 year from the date of maturity or conversion into open ended scheme. No exit load will be charged thereafter. SN Lahiri, Rajesh Pherwani and Abhijieet Dakshikar are the fund managers of the scheme.

 

The AUM of L&T MF was Rs 18255 crore as on March 2014.

Debt Mutual Fund Dividends are Taxable

DDT is deducted when a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity and balanced fund dividends are tax-free The AMC is correct to deduct the dividend distribution tax (DDT) as it is mandated by tax laws. DDT in mutual funds is deducted every time a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity fund and balanced fund dividends are tax-free . It is possible that you have invested in a non-equity fund for the first time or have received the dividend under a non-equity fund for the first time. That is why this is the first occasion when you have come across DDT.   The rate at which non-equity schemes deduct DDT has also gone up after the July 2014 budget. This is due to a change in calculation methodology. Earlier, if the fund has to declare a dividend of R 100, it used to make a provision for R 128.3, paying R 28.3 to the taxman and distributing the balance to the investor. This allowed the investor to bear less tax since the effective tax rate was 22.07 per ce...

Avoid NFOs

  Don't get taken in by the flurry of new fund offers. You will be better off sticking to the tried and tested schemes.   For the past one year, to cash in on the bull run in equities, mutual fund houses have gone on a new fund offer (NFO) overdrive. But experts are unanimous in their advice: avoid NFOs . While past performance is not an indicator of how a fund will fare in the future, it does tell the investor how skilful the fund manager is. This crucial information is missing in an NFO. Not only is there no track record to judge an NFO by, many NFOs are similar to funds that already exist. If the new fund is similar to existing funds, you are better off investing in the latter. Around 67% of the new launches in 2014 were closed-end products. Investing in the NFO of a closed-end fund is doubly risky. In case the fund's performance is lacklustre, a closed-end fund does not allow you to exit. Even though closed-end funds are listed on the stock...

Such changes are also posted on their websites. However, a direct communication to an investor is not made, considering the costs involved in doing so.
