Diversified Equity Funds article in Advisorkhoj - Best Diversified Equity Mutual Funds for SIP in the last 5 years
 

Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) has been the favoured investing mechanism of many retail mutual fund investors, since they were introduced in India almost 20 years back by Franklin Templeton. SIPs offer a simple and disciplined way to accumulate wealth over the long term, by investing a fixed sum, regularly, in a mutual fund scheme. Mutual Fund SIPs work pretty much like bank recurring deposits, except that they generate superior risk adjusted returns compared to recurring deposits. We have discussed how SIPs have helped investors to create wealth over the long term in our article How Mutual Fund SIPs have created wealth over the last 15 years: Large Cap and Diversified Equity. In this article, we will look at the best performing SIPs in diversified equity mutual funds in the last five years.

For our analysis, we have assumed a monthly SIP amount of र 3,000 made on the 1st of every month. The start date of the SIPs has been assumed to be October 1, 2009. The SIP returns have been calculated as on October 10, 2014. Please note that, for the purpose of our analysis, we have considered regular plans only. We have excluded funds which have an asset base of less than र 100 crores. Here is the list of top 10 diversified equity systematic investment plan, based on the last 5 year SIP returns.

Diversified Equity Funds - List of top 10 diversified equity systematic investment plan

Observations

  • With just र 3,000 monthly investment (र 1.8 lacs cumulative over the period) in these diversified equity funds, the investors would have accumulated र 2.9 – 3.4 lacs in the last five years.

  • The SIP returns of these funds are in the range of 19 – 25%

  • The SIP returns in these funds have beaten the lump sum returns during this period. How could SIP returns beat lump sum returns? SIPs work on the principle of rupee cost averaging. Rupee cost averaging works by taking advantage of volatility. By investing a fixed amount every month, the SIP investor buys less number of units if the market goes up and more units if the market goes down. Over the last 5 years, the movement of the equity market was not unidirectional. It went up in 2010, went down in 2011, went up again in 2012, was largely range-bound but volatile in 2013 and has been going up again in 2014. SIPs are ideally suited to take advantage of such market conditions.

Conclusion

In this article, we have looked at the top 10 diversified equity funds in terms of 5 year SIP returns. These funds gave between 19 – 25% SIP returns during this period. Investors should consult with Prajna Capital regarding the suitability of these funds for their SIPs.

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...

How to generate a UAN Online

Best SIP Funds Online   In order to make Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accounts portable, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had launched the facility of Universal Account Number (UAN ) in 2014. Having a UAN is now mandatory if you have an EPF account and are contributing to it. So far, you got this number from your employer and every time you changed jobs, you had to furnish this number to the new employer.  However, in order to make it easier for you to get a UAN , and without your employer's intervention, the EPFO now allows you to go online and generate a UAN on your own. This facility can be used by freshers, or new employees, who are joining the workforce as well as by employees who have older EPF accounts but do not have a UAN as yet.
