Sectorial ETFs

Retail investors will soon have multiple options to invest in exchange- traded funds ( ETF). With a number of fund houses gearing up to launch these products, there will be a lot of variety as well. The question for the investor is whether to join the ETF party.

Since ETFs follow the index with respect to portfolio composition and weights proportion of shares, they assure a certain amount of stability to one's investment portfolio. But they are passive funds and the returns could be lower when compared to actively- managed mutual funds. On the other hand, ETFs cheaper.

No wonder, then, that even fund houses recommend actively- managed funds. ETFs are meant for high net worth individuals or evolved investors who want to take exposure in specific sectors. In India, most of the actively- traded mutual funds beat the index. As long as fund managers are able to generate alpha, it makes more sense for retail investors to invest in mutual funds, even though ETFs are cheaper. Some of the ETFs waiting the market regulator's approval are SBI- ETF 10year Gilt, ICICI Prudential Bank ETF, Reliance MSCL India Domestic ETF, R* Shares CNX Mid- cap ETF and R* Shares NV20 ETF.

ETFs can help investors who know when to enter or exit the market and dont want to depend on a fund manager. These investors can invest smaller amounts of money directly through.

For a retail investor, ETFs should form that part of your portfolio which you would otherwise invest directly in stocks, Investing in ETFs is less risky than directly investing in stocks. Also, since the index has only blue- chip companies, exposure to ETF will also give you exposure to good quality stocks.

If your portfolio has large- cap, midcap and multi- cap funds, then you can include ETFs within the same break- up based on the ETFs composition. Also ensure that the exposure to ETFs does not exceed 10 per cent of your total equity portfolio.

An investor who has so far been investing only in largecap funds can include large- cap ETFs in the portfolio, too.

The share can be 50: 50 for large- cap funds and ETFs. However, if you want to include mid- cap or small- cap stocks in your portfolio, then it is better to do so through mutual funds. In that case, allocate 50 per cent of your portfolio to large- cap ETFs, 30 per cent to mid- cap funds and 20 per cent to small- cap funds.

In case of mid- cap and small- cap stocks, it is better to go through the mutual fund route since the fund manager will do the stock selection. But in case of large- cap stocks, you can take some exposure through ETFs also.

Sectoral ETFs are riskier and are meant only for those investors who can take a short- term call on the sector. For instance, he recommends investing only five- seven per cent of the fixed income portfolio in the SBI- ETF 10- year Gilt, which will be benchmarked to the 10 year gilt index. Given that interest rates are likely to be benign over the next one- to- two years, investors can participate in government securities by investing in the ETF, rather than locking into a mutual fund. This will give them transparency in pricing and will not be dependent on a fund manager

How Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) works?

    THE tax season is here. And if you are an employee you can't blame your employer for deducting large chunks of money from your salary towards tax deducted at source ( TDS ), which he is legally obliged to do. Your bank will also deduct some percentage from your FD interest of Rs 10,000 or more towards TDS! So what is this TDS all about? How is it computed? Are there any changes this year? Read on... What is TDS? TDS reduces your taxable income and could even provide tax relief! The TDS collections account for 40 percent of the total taxes collected in the country. As the name suggests TDS is the amount of tax that is deducted at source in certain types of income . The TDS thus collected is deposited in the Government treasury within a specified time. How is it computed? Some of the types of income where TDS is applicable include salary, interest, rental fee, interest on securities, insurance commission, dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds, commission and brokerage

Modern day balanced mutual fund approach

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   In reality, most balanced funds have a strong tilt towards equity instead of a mix of equity and debt THERE are various types of mutual funds available to investors with specific features. Often investors have a particular idea about a specific type of funds in terms of their features and risks, but that is not what is actually available. Therefore, it is necessary for an investor to understand the actual position before picking up a fund. This requires some work on the part of the investor. One example can be the situation with balanced funds. Name is not representative: One of the first things that an investor has to understand is that the name of the fund is often not representative of its investment pattern. The name often represents only the aim of the fund, and not what it actually is.
