Mutual Fund Reivew: Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative

Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative has numbers on its side to prove its credibility… Don't be surprised to find this Fund of Funds ( FoF ) in our recommendations. It has earned its place. And despite the difference in the structure of the product, there is no arguing with the numbers.   Of the total 6 years of its existence, the fund has been among the top 10 funds in its category in four of them. Last year it put up an average show and the only year it underperformed its peers was in 2008.   One aspect to look at when investing in an FoF is the expense ratio. The expense ratio of an FoF is capped at a lower limit of 0.75 per cent (2.50% for an actively managed fund).

"Expense is one of the important criteria used for fund selection and is the main reason for our investment in BSL Ind...

Liquid funds invest in money market instruments with a maturity of 91 days or less. However, there are no such restrictions for ultra short-term funds. Who should invest in these? These are open-ended schemes. Investors with a short investment horizon or with surplus cash and low risk appetite should look at these. These could include corporate as well as retail investors. Those interested in staying invested for less than 15 days can opt for liquid funds. Retail investors who want to remain invested for two-four months, can look at ultra short-term funds. The short duration for both liquid and ultra short-term funds shields them from any interest rate volatility.   What kind of returns do they offer? In terms of an investment period less than 15 days, these funds are comparable to a ba...
