MNC funds

 

Mutual funds ( MFs) which have concentrated on the multinational corporation ( MNC) theme have done exceedingly well in the past five years, as as well as the top sector funds.

Birla Sun Life MNC Fund and UTI Fund have returned 26 per cent and 23 per cent annually in the past five years. These two schemes manage about ₹ 750 crore. The best performing fund category, fast- moving consumer goods (FMCG), returned 29 per cent annually in the same period. The pharmaceuticals and information technology categories returned 27 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively, according to Value Research. In this period, the Sensex returned 12 per cent annually.

What makes MNC funds different from others? As the name suggests, their portfolio is loaded with pure MNC or joint venture stocks. For instance, the top three holdings of UTI MNC Fund are Maruti Suzuki, Bosch and Eicher; all three are automobile and components companies. Birla Sun Life's MNC scheme has ICRA, ING Vyasa and Honeywell Automation – two financials and one engineering firm. HDFC Top 200, one the top performing funds, has State Bank of India, Infosys and ICICI Bank as top picks.

Mahesh Patil, co- chief investment officer at Birla Sun Life MF, says the biggest advantage of MNCs is their transparency in terms of management, cash flow, balance sheet and an absence of corporate governance issues. "These funds are meant for those looking for less volatility and steady returns from their portfolio," he adds.

The other advantage of these funds is that these don't focus on any one sector and, hence, are less risky than sector funds. But investors should have a horizon of three to five years. As these funds can perform in both bull and bear markets, experts believe there is more upside to these. One could take 10 per cent exposure in these.

The investor interest in these funds, beside the performance, is because there are expectations that some of these might delist, after the Securities and Exchange Board of India said listed private sector companies needed a public shareholding of at least 25 per cent. This means promoters of listed entities need to bring their stakes to below 75 per cent, by diluting their holding or delisting the stock.

Last year, the parents of three MNCs – Hindustan Unilever, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare and McGraw Hill Financial – had announced voluntary open offers to increase their stake to 75 per cent.

The delisting story might, however, take a back seat for two or three years. Given the sharp rise in share prices and the rupee wobbling around 60 a dollar, the parent company will have to cough up a higher sum if it wants to delist. Analysts believe many companies which announced open offers might delist over the next two to three years. Says Vidya Bala, head of MF research at FundsIndia. com: "There's a renewed interest in these funds also because they have started investing in cyclicals ( engineering and capital goods) now as opposed to defensives ( FMCG and pharmaceuticals) before the current rally. That's why these funds have been able to perform well in this rally

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...

Capital Protection Oriented Funds

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. SBI Small Cap Fund has widened its margin of outperformance relative to its category and benchmark in the last one year, earning itself a five-star rating. 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. Needless to say, it has also outpaced its benchmark to deliver convincing five-year annualised returns of 37 per cent. A believer in the credo that a small market cap does not reflect business quality, the fund looks for five attributes in the stocks it buys: competitive advantage, return on capital, growth, management and valuation. SBI Small Cap Fund is among the few in this space to remain at quite a man...
