China Focused Funds in India

China Focused Funds in India


Investors should book partial profits, but also remember that China will continue to be a growth hub.
 
If the massive run up in the Chinese market over the past year and the correction of re cent days has got you worried, then you should review your investment in China-focused funds. Experts suggest booking partial profits in them.

The key risk in the Chinese market has arisen from the Shanghai Composite Index's steep run up over the past 12 months. At its peak on 12 June, it was up 151.81% over its year-ago level. Any market that moves up so fast poses a risk. Now it is correcting and is down -24.26% from its 52-week peak.

Several factors fuelled the rally.One, the MSCI announced in early June that it might include Chinese A shares (Shanghai or Shenzen listed shares available for investment only to local investors and by quota to FIIs) in its Emerging Market and Asia Pacific ex-Japan indices.Since this would force internation al ETFs and active funds with exposure to China to invest in these shares, local investors piled into them in anticipation of gains. Second, margin lending provided the liquidity for speculative activity.Third, with real estate and gold not performing and deposit rates down due to the central bank's rate cuts, Chinese investors had no option but to invest in equities. Now the market is correcting owing to its own steep valuation and due to the Greek crisis. The China Securities Regulatory Commission's crackdown on shadow market financing schemes has led to money moving out of equities.

There are four China-focused funds--two from Mirae, one from JPMorgan and an ETF from Goldman Sachs--with a total AUM of `5,247 crore, so the impact of a possible meltdown in the Chinese market on Indian investors will not be massive. Moreover, the steep run up has happened in Chinese A shares while Indian funds invest in Chinese H shares. The latter are shares of companies domiciled in China but listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange which foreign investors can invest in freely. H shares have not run up as steeply, nor turned as expensive as A shares. We don't share the concern about China A shares because we don't own them .

Among China-focused funds, those that are more diversified will suffer less than those that are completely focused on China. Some of the China-focused funds have a fund-of-fund structure where the mother fund is dollar denominated. The dollar's strength will cushion the loss these funds suffer in the Chinese market. Finally, if the run up in the Chinese market has caused the weight of these funds to increase, book profits.

Birla SunLife Manufacturing Equity Fund

The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Naredra Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. It was devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. The primary motive of the campaign is to encourage multinational as well domestic companies to manufacture their products in India. This would create more job opportunities, bring high-quality standards and attract capital along with technological investment to bring more foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.   Why India as the next manufacturing destination?   The rising demand in India along with the multinational's desire to diversify their production to include low-cost plants in countries other than China, can help India's manufacturing sector to grow and create millions of jobs. In the words of our Honourable Prime Minister- Mr. Narendra Modi, India offers the 3 'Ds' for business to thrive— democracy,...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Equity

    Despite high churn, Reliance Regular Savings Equity has managed to fetch good returns   In its short history, this one has made its mark. Though its annual and trailing returns are amazing, the fund started off on a lousy note (last two quarters of 2005). It managed to impress in 2006 and was turning out to be pretty average in 2007, till Omprakash Kuckian took over in November 2007 and wasted no time in changing the complexion of the portfolio. Exposure to Construction shot up to 28 per cent with almost 21 per cent cornered by Pratibha Industries and Madhucon Projects . Exposure to Engineering was yanked up (18.50%) while Financial Services lost its prime slot (dropped to 6.69%) and Auto was dumped. That quarter (December 2007), he delivered 54.66 per cent (category average: 25.70%).   When the market collapsed in 2008, thankfully the fund did not plummet abysmally. But even its high cash allocations could not cushion the fall which hovered around the category average. ...

Total Returns Index brings out real Equity Funds Performers

From February, equity mutual funds have to change their benchmarks to account for dividend payments. Until now, funds used price-based benchmarks alone. TRI or total return indices assume that dividend payouts are reinvested back into the index. What this does is lift the overall index returns, because dividends get compounded. For example, the Sensex TRI index will consider dividend payouts of its constituent companies while the Nifty50 TRI index will consider dividends of its constituents. Using TRI indices as benchmarks comes on the argument that an equity funds earn dividends on the stocks in its portfolio, which they use to buy more stocks. Therefore, using an index that also considers dividend reinvestment would be a more appropriate benchmark. Shrinking outperformance With a stiffer benchmark, it is obvious that the margin by which an equity fund outperforms the benchmark would shrink. Rolling one-year returns from 2013 onwards, the average margin by which largecap funds out...
