The SIP returns (XIRR) is nearly 14%. The SIP returns are low, because the cyclical sectors have been grossly underperforming over the last 5 years. However, once the economic growth revives, the SIP returns will undoubtedly improve.

Future Outlook

The future outlook for cyclical sectors looks very positive, for reasons described at the beginning of the article. Cyclical sectors do very well in bull markets. Let us take a look at history to get an indication. The DSP Black Rock TIGER fund was launched just after the Lok Sabha elections of 2004. The period from 2004 to 2007 was one of the strongest bull markets in the history of Indian equities. The chart below shows the growth in NAV of the DSP Black Rock TIGER fund from June 2004 to June 2007.

The NAV of the fund grow more than 3.5 times in 3 years. It gave a compounded annualized return of 53%. We are at a similar juncture now. In many ways, from the equity market perspective the political situation is much better now than in 2004. In 2004, the UPA – 1 Government had to rely on the support of the Left Front, which was opposed to economic reforms. The NDA Government, on the other hand, has a comfortable majority in Lok Sabha. In fact, BJP by itself, has an absolute majority, and therefore will be free from the compulsions of coalition politics. This will enable the government to pursue economic reforms more aggressively. On the monetary policy side, the RBI governor in the latest policy review has indicated that the interest rate tightening regime is now probably over. As the RBI moves to a more benign monetary policy, it will provide a stimulus to the cyclical sectors. The DSP Black Rock TIGER fund with its focus on domestic cyclical sectors is thus well positioned to gain from the revival of economic growth. The fund has already given a trailing return of 51% in the last 3 months, and is poised to go from strength to strength. However, investors should also note that, cyclical and high beta stocks also tend to be volatile. Since DSP Black Rock TIGER fund is focused on cyclical sectors and stocks, investors in the fund should be prepared for high volatilities. Therefore, investors need to have a sufficiently long time horizon if they want to invest in this fund. Investors with high risk appetite and moderate to long term time horizon can consider buying the scheme through the systematic investment plan (SIP) or lump sum route. Investors should consult with their financial advisers if the DSP Black Rock Tiger fund is suitable for their individual risk profiles and time horizons.

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

To address this concern, asset management companies have launched Capital Protection Oriented Funds (CPOFs). What are CPOFs? CPOFs are generally three to five-year, closed-ended funds where 70-80% of the portfolio is invested in fixed income securities, which mature on or before the scheme's tenure. The investment in fixed income securities grows to 100% at the end of the tenure, providing the investor with capital protection. The remaining portion (20-30%) is used to take exposure to equity, which provides the upside. Exposure to equities is either by directly buying equity stocks (plain vanilla CPOFs) or by b...

SBI Small Cap Fund

SBI Small Cap Fund scheme seeks to provide investors with opportunities for long-term growth in capital along with the liquidity of an open-ended scheme by investing predominantly in a well diversified basket of equity stocks of small cap companies.

The fund shows a hefty 18 percentage-point outperformance relative to its peers in the last one year, 5 percentage points over three years and 4 percentage points over five years.
