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 ...

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...

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. The US government took quick measures to avoid the spread negative sentiments in the markets. The US government announced a bail-out package and agreed to shoulder the losses on the bank's risky assets. China announced a large cut in interest rates and reserve ratio to boost the investor sentiments in the markets. Recently, the World Bank announced China's growth rate next year will come down to 7.5 percent. The European ...

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 ...

This way its allocation is sprinkled across the sectors which brings in stability. Allocation to large caps is close to 75 per cent while market gyrations of last 2 years have seen its allocation to mid- and small-caps come down. Though the fund has the mandate to pick stocks from outside the ambit of BSE 200, it has largely stuck with the benchmark with just 10 to 20 per cent of the investment going outside it over the past 5 years. Sector-wise allocation though is mostly in proportion to the benchmark.   Its dominant sectors include automobiles, FMCG, financial, technology and energy. Banking and FMCG performed well last year which is reflected in performance. Its stock p...
