Credit Fund Online

With falling interest rates, savvy investors are scouting for high yielding assets like credit funds, a type of debt fund, that generate higher investment returns
 

1.What is a credit fund?

It is a type of debt mutual fund scheme, which invests in rela tively riskier corporate bonds to earn higher in terest rates. Unlike top rated bonds, fund man agers typically invest in securities rated as AA-, A+, A-, BBB, etc. Those apers normally mature papers normally mature in 1-3 years unlike long maturity bonds. So, here you invest in such schemes to have indirect exposure to lower-rated securities to earn high er rates.

2. What is the return potential?

More than what top-rated bonds yield. These bonds can help a fund manager earn up to 2.0 percentage points higher gross yields than toprated papers. In the past one year, credit funds have returned about 8.91% on average. For the past three years, the verage is 9.21%. But, in average is 9.21%. But, in vestment returns are not tax free.

3. Was there any concern in credit funds recently?

Yes. A possible default risk over two companies including -Amtek and Jindal Steel & Power -loomed large since August last year, hurting investor sentiment. Both companies' credit ratings were downgraded. This led to a 9% erosion in assets under management for the entire industry in the past seven months.

4. What is the status now?

Concerns have eased as both companies honoured repayments fully or partly.

5. So is there any chance it will trigger fresh investments?

It should, especially when we are in a falling interest rate regime where informed investors are looking for bets in high yielding assets.

6. How many such schemes are there in India?

At least 28 such schemes are offered by top fund houses including Birla Sun Life, DSP BlackRock, Franklin India, ICICI Prudential, Kotak, Reliance Mutual Fund and UTI.

7.  What are the top two performing schemes?

DHFL Pramerica Credit Opportunties and Baroda Pioneer Credit Opportunties funds. In the one year till April 19, they have returned 10.38% and 10.11%, respectively

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free. Turn to page 28 to see how much tax this can save. However, the take-home pay of the employee will come down. Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax upto Rs 46,350 under Section 80C.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds     `HOW green was my valley'. This title comes from a movie I had watched many years ago. A little boy's journey into adulthood and the story of a Welsh valley's turn of-the-century descent from pristine paradise to despoiled coal mining.   I thought of the title because it is comparatively reflective of a person's life ­ the glorious years when he is earning and the sun down years when he is not having his regular job and, hence, his living standards comes down. The reason is a combination of things. Inflation of food items, transport, increase in health related costs in the later years of life and increase in expenses in almost all basic amenities of life. In India, the social security system is almost non-existent. In some states, wherever it is available, the scales of benefits are extremely modest...

BHIM App

What is BHIM?

BANK FDs for Tax Saving

This is probably the easiest way to save tax if you have a Netbanking account . After the demonetisation and the digital push, almost everyone has one. A few clicks of the mouse and your tax planning is done. However, as mentioned earlier, this convenience comes at a very high cost. Interest rates have come down significantly and are close to 7-7.5% right now. The bigger problem is that the interest is fully taxable. It is added to the income of the investor and taxed at the marginal rate applicable to him. In the highest 30% tax bracket , the post-tax yield is close to 5%. Even so, tax-saving fixed deposits are suitable for risk averse investors, especially senior citizens who might already have hit the ` 15 lakh ceiling in the Senior Citizens' Saving Scheme and don't want to lock in money for the long term in a PPF account . Though NSCs offer higher rates than most banks, many senior citizens prefer to invest in deposits of their own banks, because they get better service ...
