Save Tax and also get better Return


Season of Tax Saving investment has started.


The deadline to submit the proof of tax saving investments to HR department is approaching for salaried persons. For other than salaried persons there are now last two to three months left to save the tax, so now they will be focusing on the search of all tax saving options available for investment.

If you are salaried then your EPF and your life insurance premiums are already qualified as an eligible investment option to get the benefit under Section 80C. Rest of the money you may invest either into the 5 years bank FD, PPF, NSC or ELSS. Except ELSS all other tax saving instruments will generate the fix return which might not even be sufficient to give you the cover against inflation.

Apart from the Life insurance policies premium and EPF, PPF is the most preferred choice of investor for investing for 80©. While PPF has many merits including the assurance and safety along with the stable return, it lacks when it comes to inflation adjusted better return.  To get the comfort of assured and stable return you need to sacrifice the chance of earning the higher return.

While on the other hand, ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Schemes) has a very good track record in terms of giving the better inflation adjusted return than PPF in longer run; it is still not very popular due to the fact that it doesn't give you any assurance and predictability of returns.

Investing into the ELSS may give you the dual benefit of tax saving and higher return. You can get the investment option where you get the higher probability of getting far better return than the PPF in longer run. Though in short run ELSS can be much more volatile and unpredictable due to the fact that it invests into the equity and equity related instrument which are connected to market movement.

ELSS can be a very good alternative compared to PPF, because minimum investment cycle of PPF is 15 years i.e. very long term.

ELSS vs PPF

Let's look at the historical performance of the ELSS vs PPF.

In case of ELSS return is market driven. As on 31st March, 2015 the average return for last 12 years of all ELSS schemes is 24.66%. Following is the comparison of the return of ` 100000/- invested every year into ELSS vs. PPF. Analysis gives you an idea about minimum, maximum and average returns generated by any ELSS schemes out of all available ELSS schemes as on 31st March, 2015. Returns generated by even the worse performing ELSS schemes have given the better returns than PPF as on the given date.

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

Zero Coupon Bonds or discount bond or deep discount bond

A ZERO-COUPON bond (also called a discount bond or deep discount bond ) is a bond bought at a price lower than its face value with the face value repaid at the time of maturity.   There is no coupon or interim payments, hence the term zero-coupon bond. Investors earn return from the compounded interest all paid at maturity plus the difference between the discounted price of the bond and its par (or redemption) value. In contrast, an investor who has a regular bond receives income from coupon payments, which are usually made semi-annually. The investor also receives the principal or face value of the investment when the bond matures. Zero-coupon bonds may be long or short-term investments.   Long term zero coupon maturity dates typically start at 10 years. The bonds can be held until maturity or sold on secondary bond markets.

Mutual Fund Review: SBI Bluechip Fund

Given SBI Bluechip Fund's past performance and shrinking asset base, the fund has neither been able to hold back its investors nor enthuse new ones   LAUNCHED at the peak of the bull-run in January 2006, SBI Bluechip was able to attract many investors given the fact that it hails from the well-known fund house. However, the fund so far has not been able to live up to the expectation of investors. This was quite evident by its shrinking asset under management. The scheme is today left with only a third of its original asset size of Rs 3,000 crore. PERFORMANCE: The fund has plunged in ET Quarterly MF rating as well. From its earlier spot in the silver category in June 2009 quarter, the fund now stands in the last cadre, Lead.    Benchmarked to the BSE 100, the fund has outperformed neither the benchmark nor the major market indices including the Sensex and the Nifty. In its first year, the fund posted 17% return, which appears meager when compared with the 40% gain in the BSE 1...

Mutual Fund MIPs can give better returns than Post Office MIS

Post Office MIS vs  Mutual Fund MIPs   Post office Monthly Income Scheme has for long been a favourite with investors who want regular monthly income from their investments. They offer risk free 8.5% returns and are especially preferred by conservative investors, like retirees who need regular monthly income from their investments. However, top performing mutual fund monthly income plans (MIPs) have beaten Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (MIS), in terms of annualized returns over the last 5 years, by investing a small part of the corpus in equities which can give higher returns than fixed income investments. The value proposition of the mutual fund aggressive MIPs is that, the interest from debt investment is supplemented by an additional boost to equity returns. Please see the chart below for five year annualized returns from Post office MIS and top performing mutual fund MIPs, monthly d...
