Equity investors should track market developments

The stock markets have been volatile over the last few days. They are in a sideways movement and trying to find the bottom after a fall of 20 percent a week ago. The market sentiments are not very positive at the moment and the recent developments are expected to dampen them further. Globally, governments and central banks are trying to cut rates and announce packages to improve business sentiments. These are some of the major developments in the markets last few month: A) Global On the global front, another large US bank went into a financial crisis.

Tax Planning: Income tax and Section 80C

In order to encourage savings, the government gives tax breaks on certain financial products under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.

The various investment options under this section include:   Provident Fund (PF) & Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) Provident Fund is deducted directly from your salary by your employer.

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...

Gold: It is safe & secure

RETURNS ON GOLD & ITS ETF’s RISE WHILE most of the popular asset classes are going through bad times, the yellow metal shines on. In fact, in the last one year, gold has given a return of more than 25% and currently trades at Rs 14,695 per 10 gm. Even gold exchange traded funds ( ETFs ) have appreciated substantially. Gold Gold Benchmark Exchange Traded Scheme ( BeES ) and Kotak Gold ETF have given more than 25% returns each in the last three months. Even as the equity markets have taken a hit with the Sensex losing around 46% in the last one year and real estate prices also witness a correction, investors’ preference has shifted to safe havens such as gold. On an average, most of the diversified equity mutual funds have fallen and real estate developers are offering discounts. Thus gold remains the safest bet. The appreciation in the gold prices is mainly due to its safe haven status. The key reason for gold to go up is lack of other investment opportunity. There is also a risk in...

Alpha - The relative performance

Alpha, the net performance of a component against the benchmark is an overlooked tool   Absolutely speaking, any bounce back now on markets should be the last for the year. We offcourse can be wrong and prefer to be judged on alpha (relative performance) as relative accountability is fine with us. According to Alpha India, the top outperformers in the weeks ahead should be Reliance Communications, Reliance Infrastructure, SBI, HDFC, ONGC, Larsen, Jaiprakash Associates, Maruti, Bharti and DLF. On the short side (reduce side), we have Ranbaxy, ACC, Sail, Tata Steel, Wipro, Tata Motors, Sun Pharma, TCS, M&M and Infosys.   Performance like everything follows the 80-20 rule, 80 per cent of your gains are going to come from 20 per cent of your portfolio. So why not give it a thought? The importance of alpha If alpha was so important, then why don ' t newspapers and websites publish it? Why alpha gets featured annually but not as intraday or daily event? Why don ' t we c...
