IDFC Classic Equity Fund


IDFC Classic Equity Fund

In the past one year, one of the underperforming multi-cap schemes, IDFC Classic Equity, has shown high resilience. The scheme, which was in the last quartile of performance in large-cap category due to its poor performance, jumped to the first quartile thanks to the stock-picking abilities of Anoop Bhaskar, who joined IDFC in February.

Having a strong performance record at Sundaram and UTI fund houses, Bhaskar is keenly focused on reviving Classic Equity's performance. Bhaskar follows two key factors in the way he manages the scheme's portfolio. Almost 75-80% of the scheme's portfolio is long-term in nature, while 20-25% of it is trading portfolio where the attempt is to identify stocks which could boost the scheme's performance in a meaningful way.


In the past three-year and five-year periods, the scheme has beaten its benchmark S&P BSE 200 consistently. It lags behind its peers in the past three-year and fiveyear periods. However, with the fund manager's focus on economy-driven sectors such as auto, cement and consumer discretionary, the scheme's performance is expected to catch up with its peers and it may beat its peers by a wide margin.


In the past six months, Anoop Bhaskar has exited companies which were underperformers and enhanced allocation to strong value-generating companies where earnings visibility is high. These are HDFC Bank, ITC, Axis Bank, and UltraTech Cement.

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...

Index funds / Exchange Traded Funds

Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Buy Gold Mutual Funds Leave a missed Call on 94 8300 8300 Index funds / Exchange Traded Funds Index funds are those funds which replicate a particular stock market index like Nifty, Nifty Junior, Sensex etc. The fund's composition is a mirror image of the index. 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...
