Benefits to the consumer

    their bank account which can be used to pay for the first cylinder.
  • This advance then can be used to buy 12 LPG cylinders weighing 14.2 Kgs OR 34 5 Kgs cylinders. Subsidy amount = Current subsidised rate – market price. This difference amount is credited to the customer's bank account.

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 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%). In 2008, the first quarter performance was nothing short of impressive, a return of 9.93 per cent (category average: -3.97%). While other players increased their portfolio maturity, Katare maintained a low maturity profile. While the average maturity of the category was 2.81 years that quarter, th...

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...

Term insurance

Term insurance may not be the most-marketed product by life cos, but it’s a must-have in today’s risk-prone lifestyle WHEN was the last time your insurance agent sold a term plan to you? It’s not a very popular policy among agents, as their commission in absolute terms is low because of the low-premium. Just as agents have their self interests in mind while selling, you need to make your own decision about your insurance needs, which are unique to your family. COST ADVANTAGE A term plan is pure protection. It is the cheapest type of life insurance policy. But what you see might not be what you get, most insurers have a range of health parameters for standard rates. If any of your health parameters — weight, blood pressure for instance fall outside this range, you will pay more. For some companies, the standard range is very narrow. EARLY BIRD GAINS A 30-year-old will pay 15% more premium than a 25-year-old. At 40, the premium is double of what is applicable for a 25-year old, points...

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...
