How to Invest in MFs In India

 

How to Invest in MFs Online

It just takes a few easy steps to start investing in a mutual fund scheme.

Firstly you need to comply with Sebi's Know Your Customer (KYC) process.For this you need one recent passport photo of your, a self-attested photocopy of your Income Tax PAN card and a proof of address. Once you have these you need to fill up a single-page KYC form.

You can take the form to one of the KYC registration authorities (KRAs), or hand it over either to your investment advisor or the mutual fund agent. Once your KYC form is accepted and you get your KYC registration letter, you are ready to invest.

Alternately, Sebi has also allowed mutual fund houses to accept Aadhaar as a valid proof of identity as well as address. This has now enabled e-KYC in which case as an investor you do not need to present yourself in front of an authorised person for verification of data in your KYC form (called in-person verification). However, Sebi has clarified use of Aadhaar is voluntary and a final order on this will depend on the order of the Supreme Court.

Along with the KYC, you need a bank account to start investing.

Once you have these, the next step is to select the fund that is right for your risk taking ability, the purpose for which you want to invest and your time horizon to invest. For this, the first time investors are advised to reach out to a Sebi-registered investment advisor who can guide you through the required steps and also teach you the basics.

Once you have started investing through a mutual fund, keep a watch on your investments, mainly how the fund is performing, if the fund is meeting its obligation to you as an investor. And also be careful to fulfil your duties as an investor.

ICICI Prudential Dynamic Plan Invest Online

The fund sticks to its mandate to adapt to the dynamic nature of the market by shuttling between debt and equity. It takes aggressive asset calls in equity when the market surges by investing in quality mid-cap stocks. At the same time, it adopts a defensive strategy by investing in debt and cash when markets get overvalued, making it a good long-term choice.     For further information contact Prajna Capital on 94 8300 8300 by leaving a missed call     Leave a missed Call on 94 8300 8300   Leave your comment with mail ID and we will ...

Lump Sum or SIP?

Invest Mutual Fund Online     You have a lump sum in hand and you wish to invest in equity funds. However, you have heard a lot of talk about investing in equity funds through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) because they help average costs, ensure you do not ill-time the market, and help you invest in small sums, besides giving you many other advantages. So, should you invest the money you have in hand in one go, or let it remain in your bank account and then do an SIP? There is no harm in investing a lump sum amount. For all you know, compounding, over the long term, could work better with lump sum. However, make sure you fulfill all of these three criteria if you want to invest in one go. Else, SIP is the way to go. #1: You invest for the long term According to past data, ideally, if you have a time frame of 12 years or more, you can consider lump sum investing (provided you satisfy the other two conditions that follow). So, what is the sanctity behind 12 years? Is it because only...

Stock Market Concepts: Derivatives and taxation

DERIVATIVES refer to an instrument, which derives its value from the value of something else — that is, an underlying asset. In India, the derivatives space has traditionally been the playground for large institutional investors who use it for hedging or for speculative activities. However, with time, we have seen a steep augmentation in the per capita income of an average Indian. Consequently, the appetite for investment in alternative instruments has transcended into the need to explore untested territories, and one of the most lucrative of all the available options, is the derivatives. Taxation Of Derivatives: Let's have a sharp overview of how taxability impacts the dealings in futures and options: Futures: Since, there is no transfer or delivery of the underlying asset in case of futures, the income or loss from it cannot be taxed under the head "capital gains". Therefore, depending upon the fact whether the assessee is a trader or an investor, the head of income...

As there is no active management involved and the fund is expected to generate what a particular index is generating, the fund management charges are very low in these funds. Though over a long period of time good active management does play its part, but many times it has been seen that due to wrong calls of fund manager mutual fund returns suffer very badly. It is then we repent paying heavy charges for fund management. So, to diversify fund manager risk one may look at index funds too. Exchange traded funds also come under this category. As they can on...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Balanced

Reliance Regular Savings Balanced fund has shown great resilience during market crash After a shaky start, this fund has established itself as a strong contender in this space. In the past three years it has ridden the market well by not only delivering during the market run-ups but also displaying resilience during the crash. In 2008, it witnessed the second lowest fall among its category and last year it was amongst the top three performers with a return of 76 per cent (category average: 61%).   The poor underperformance in 2006 can well be credited to the low equity allocation of the fund, which stood at just over 10 per cent for only four months that year. Though the fund has the leeway to go up to 75 per cent in equity, it has never touched that limit. In fact, it has exceeded 70 per cent in just five months in its entire history. During the crash of 2008, the fund managers had no problem going right down to 54 per cent (equity exposure). Fund managers Omprakash Kukian and A...
