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.

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

Mutual Funds: Past Performance is not just everything

Many a times your agent / distributor / relationship manager tries to push you some mutual fund schemes by enticing you with a typical sales pitch…"Sir, this scheme has generated 20% returns in the past one year." And this sales pitch often gets louder when the market conditions have been favourable. Some of the agents / distributors / relationship managers have another unique way of luring you. They say, "Sir / madam this scheme has been awarded the best scheme award in the past by a leading business channel"... And hearing all these sales talks you investors very often get attracted and sign a cheque in favour of the respective scheme.   But please ask yourself do you hear these sales talks when the capital markets turn turbulent? Why is it so that your agent / distributor / relationship manager avoids talking to you during turbulent times of the capital markets and doesn't boast about returns generated by the respective funds or awards being conferred on t...

Here is a look at the situation and also how it changes from the existing position.

Mutual Fund Review: L&T MIP

        This fund won't deliver chart-topping returns. However, over the long run it will not disappoint and end up beating the category average The fund has seen numerous changes at the helm. When Katare took over in October 2007, he made dramatic alterations to the portfolio. On the equity side, he increased the number of stocks to 11 (November) from 2 (September). On the debt side, he added Certificates of Deposit (CDs), while earlier Treasury Bills (T-Bills) and cash accounted for 88 per cent (September 2007) of the portfolio. In November 2007 he exited T-Bills for good. The results impressed. In the last quarter of 2007, it delivered 12.83 per cent (category average: 6.12%).
