Reliance Focused Large Cap

Reliance Focused Large Cap Invest Online

 

Among the few large-cap funds that have held their head above water in 2015 is Reliance Focused Large Cap. The fund managed a rise of 4 per cent plus over the past year compared with the near 4 per cent dip in the benchmark Nifty 50.

This good show also places the fund in the top quartile among large-cap peers. Over the past three and five years too, Reliance Focused Large Cap has beaten the benchmark comfortably and figures within the top two quartiles among peers.

But the fund's good track record primarily flows from a strong turnaround in its performance over the past two years or so. In January 2014, Reliance Equity Fund was renamed Reliance Focused Large Cap Fund, and the mandate was narrowed to investing in up to 25 stocks belonging to the top 100 by market cap. Earlier, the fund was allowed to invest in the top 100 stocks by market cap.

Noticeably better

This change in mandate appears to have helped. On a one-year daily rolling return basis, the fund has beaten the benchmark more than 99 per cent of the times since January 2014, a much better record than the near 62 per cent win rate over the past five years.

So, while its performance during both market upsides and downsides was patchy earlier, Reliance Focused Large Cap has convincingly scored over the benchmark Nifty 50 both during the market rally from August 2013 to January 2015 and during the weakness last year.

Investors willing to bet on a turnaround story shaping up well can buy units of Reliance Focused Large Cap.

The fund generally invests more than 95 per cent of its portfolio in equity — predominantly large-caps — with the rest in cash and debt instruments.

In an iffy market as the one at present, a large-cap dominated portfolio should shield the fund from being hit badly if the mood worsens. Also, a market pick-up may see the currently out-of-favour large-caps regain their mojo.

A limited number of stocks (maximum 25) in the portfolio does peg up the risk of a big bet going wrong. As of November 2015, HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries and Infosys each accounted for more than 6 per cent of the portfolio. But good stock selection has helped Reliance Focused Large Cap avoid this pitfall so far. For instance, stocks such as Siemens and Max India in which the fund increased stake rose 35-45 per cent last year.

Paring stakes in losing stocks such as SBI too helped. Over longer periods, picks such as Maruti Suzuki have more than tripled. Some bets, such as buying the stock of BHEL last year have hurt, but wrong moves have been few and far between.

The fund's good sector choices, a mix of cyclicals, such as banks (mostly private sector), and defensives, such as software, also helped it weather the tide last year. This combination, along with other top sector holdings such as auto and pharma, should continue to provide a good hedge in choppy markets.

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

How much to invest in gold ?

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Let your motivation dictate the share of the yellow metal in your portfolio Enough has been said and written about gold as an investment option. The latest argument is that the craze for gold among Indian households is endangering our country's balance of payments. The policymakers are busy trying to find ways of discouraging investment in gold, but if households keep the common good in mind, they would be paying the market price for gas cylinders as they do for, say, their mobile phone bills. After all, private decisions are driven by private motives. So, how should a household look at gold from its own perspective? Gold is primarily acquired for its merit as a store of value. Even if the worst crisis hits a family, the gold that it holds could be put to use anywhere in th...

Diversification is key to gain more

Even those who prefer debt for its safety are looking at more options    It is not often that you find more than a couple of asset classes producing good returns at the same time. Invariably, assets such as gold and equity don't perform in tandem, and hence it was easier to allocate to them in line with the risk profile of the investors. In the last couple of quarters, however, more than one asset has turned attractive - gold, debt and equity. In line with the trend, you even have monthly income plans with a combination of more than two assets.    In the past, those who stuck to debt were a different class of investors who didn't wish to take risk with their money. The changing lifecycles and the growing integration of investment markets across the globe have pushed even individual investors to embrace the concept of asset allocation. Hence, you have individuals who were using debt to park profits being prepared to take advantage of other assets.    For instance, when the...
