Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip

 

Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip - Invest Online

 

Investors looking to add a dose of mid-cap stocks to their portfolio, but with some cushion from reasonably large-sized stocks, can consider including Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip to their portfolio.

The fund has completed a little over three years. Over this period, its performance is comparable to top mid-cap funds such as IDFC Premier Equity, HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities, as well as more aggressive funds in this space such as SBI Emerging Businesses. The fund delivered 12.2% annually in the last 2 years, as against the 2.5% annual returns of the CNX Midcap Index.

Suitability

Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip seeks to invest in mid-cap stocks and stocks that are nascent large-caps or emerging large-caps, outside the top 100 stocks in terms of market cap. Hence, its exposure to pure mid and small-cap companies may not be as high as typical mid-cap funds.

For instance, it held about 40% of its assets in stocks with a market capitalization of over Rs 10,000 crore, while funds such as IDFC Premier Equity or HDFC Mid-Cap Opportunities held a little under 30%.  The fund, therefore sports lower volatility (as evidenced by the standard deviation measure). But this may also mean that in a fast rally led by mid and small caps, the fund's return may not be top notch. Hence, this fund will not fit your bill if you are looking for very aggressive plays.

The fund may be used as a diversifier to your core portfolio. Given that it does not have a very long track record, small exposure to the fund and an annual review of performance may be warranted.

Performance

Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip has a couple of aces up its sleeve. For one, on a rolling 1-year return basis since inception, the fund has beaten its benchmark, CNX Midcap, 100% of the times, showcasing tremendous consistency.

Two, the fund lost the least in the 2011 fall, even as most peers fell between 18-25%. This, the fund managed with full exposure to equities, even as aggressive players such as SBI Emerging Businesses held less than 90% and others such as IDFC Premier Equity reduced equity stakes to as low as 76% that year.

Three, although the fund's risk-adjusted returns in the last 3 years is slightly lower than peers from IDFC and HDFC, the last 2 years' record suggests that it has reversed this situation and actually delivered higher.

Mirae Asset Emerging Bluechip has an interesting portfolio. Even while it has large-sized stocks, these cannot be termed the typical blue chips found in most portfolios. For instance, Aditya Birla Nuvo, Motherson Sumi Systems or Cummins India are not the typical large-cap holdings you will see in mid-sized funds.  Among its sector holdings, although the fund is high on pharma like most peers now, it does not hold too much of IT stocks. It still prefers the banking  and finance space, albeit with some mid-cap plays.

Gulf Oil Corporation, Himatsingka Seide and Vinati Organics are also some of the offbeat mid and small-cap picks. Clearly, its contrarian holding is a key behind its portfolio not taking a big hit in market falls.

The fund is managed by Neelesh Surana.

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...

Tax Planning: Income tax and Section 80C

In order to encourage savings, the government gives tax breaks on certain financial products under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Investments made under such schemes are referred to as 80C investments. Under this section, you can invest a maximum of Rs l lakh and if you are in the highest tax bracket of 30%, you save a tax of Rs 30,000. The various investment options under this section include:   Provident Fund (PF) & Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) Provident Fund is deducted directly from your salary by your employer. The deducted amount goes into a retirement account along with your employer's contribution. While employer's contribution is exempt from tax, your contribution (i.e., employee's contribution) is counted towards section 80C investments. You can also contribute additional amount through voluntary contributions (VPF). The current rate of interest is 8.5% per annum and interest earned is tax-free. Public Provident Fund (PPF) An account can be opened wi...

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...

Equity investors should track market developments

The stock markets have been volatile over the last few days. They are in a sideways movement and trying to find the bottom after a fall of 20 percent a week ago. The market sentiments are not very positive at the moment and the recent developments are expected to dampen them further.
