Birla SunLife Balanced 95 Fund Performance



If stock markets are at high levels, as they are right now, investing can be risky. But it doesn't mean that an investor should stay away from equities and risk earning returns that are lower than inflation. This need of limiting downside risk and at the same time earning inflation beating returns is met by Balanced Funds. By investing in both equity and debt, these funds keep risk under control. However, when markets rise, investors in Balanced funds have to remain content with marginally lower returns than equity funds. This however, is more than compensated when they fall much lesser than equity funds too.

 

Investing in Balanced funds also allows investors to practice prudence wherein their portfolio captures upside by increasing allocation to equity when the markets are declining, and limits downside by reducing exposure to equities when markets are rising- completely reverse of what retail investors normally do. An added advantage is that Balanced funds are Tax efficient. Any fund that invests more than 65% money in stocks is treated as an equity fund for taxation. Even the debt portion is then taxed like equity. Therefore, these funds enjoy tax-free returns if the holding period is greater than a year (short term capital gains are taxed at 15%)

 

With a sterling record of over 20 years, BSL'95 Fund, one of our flagship schemes, helps investors achieve long-term growth of their investment at moderate levels of risk by striking a balance between potential growth of equity and relative safety of debt. The fund is declaring its second quarterly dividend of 2016-17, an amount of Rs. 3.8/unit (approx. dividend yield of 2.52%) and Rs. 4.0/unit (approx. dividend yield of 2.0%) under Regular and Direct plan respectively, record date being 30 September 2016.

 

Following are some of the features of the fund:

 

·         Ranked Number 1 in the Balanced schemes category by CRISIL for quarter ending June. (CPR 1)

 

·         The fund has generated 100% positive returns over a 5 year period and has beaten Nifty 50 92.9% of the time (as of August 31 2016)

 

·         The fund has grown by 64.2 times since inception (10/02/1995) giving a return of 21.28% p.a  outperforming  the Nifty 50 by around 7% which generated a return of 14.08% p.a (as on Aug 31 2016)

 

·         The fund has declared 29 dividends till date amounting to a total of Rs 111.39 and has declared dividends in 18 out of 21 years

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...

Good time to invest in Infrastructure Funds

The price to earnings ( P/ E) ratio of the BSE Sensex is 18.96; for the CNX Infrastructure Index, it is 24.57. The estimated P/ E for next year is 14.04 for the Sensex. Of the 24 companies that make up the CNX Infrastructure Index, six have a P/ E higher than 20. Does this mean infrastructure is fairly valued? Or, has it run up quite a bit?

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...

Stocks with a high dividend yield

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Stocks with a high-dividend yield can provide investors additional cash flow. More importantly, it is tax-free   With April 2011 just over, the 'earnings season' is well and truly here. This is the time most companies pay out a portion of their profits as dividends to shareholders. Since dividends are tax-free, they are an attractive income source with a select class of investors, who depend on these for additional cash flow. SIGNIFICANCE A company doing well and generating profits will usually be in a position to declare dividends regularly. Hence, a key parameter one should look at whilst investing in a stock is whether the company has a good dividend record. Typically, dividend yield stocks are large-caps and generally not capital-intensive. This is suggestive of the fact that the downside risk on...

Systematic withdrawal plan

  Start Systematic withdrawal plan Online Although an SWP gives you regular income and saves on taxes in the long term, you cannot open an SWP on a scheme where you have an ongoing SIP   iStockPhoto If you are planning to take a sabbatical from work or are retiring soon, you may be looking at different investment options that give a regular income. Usually, a lump sum is invested to get regular fixed amounts later. Popular products include post office monthly income scheme, Senior Citizens' Savings Scheme and monthly income plans (MIPs). A lesser known option is the systematic withdrawal plan (SWP) in mutual funds. Recently, some funds have even removed the exit load on SWPs if you were to withdraw up to 15-20% in the first year, to encourage people who want to start investing in this instrument. Here is a look at what an SWP is. WHAT IS SWP? Many of us would be familiar with a systematic investment plan (SIP ), where a corpus ...
