BNP Paribas Enhanced Arbitrage Fund


BNP Paribas Enhanced Arbitrage Fund is better than the industry liquid, liquid plus, short term and Accrual Funds.

 

·         As we all know the yields have dropped drastically and clients have made money in the recent times from the debt products . The important question to be answered is what from NOW ON .

·         If one decided to invest further in any short term or accrual fund in the industry he/she should consider the following.

 

SHORT TERM FUNDS

 

1.       The YTM spread between liquid and short term fund today stand at approx. 20 – 40 bps.

 

2.       As a investor net of expense ( 1.25 industry average ) one would be minimum 100 bps below liquid fund return in their short term or accrual funds from day 1

 

3.       With the recent action by RBI post demonetarization CRR hike and MSS bond issue has taken away the large hope of serial rate cuts in the short term.

 

4.       In the current scenario if one decides to enter into a product with  average modified duration at 2.5 years , even with the view of 50 Bps rate cut in the next 6 months the return of short term funds might just match up to liquid fund returns.

 

5.       With customer expectation for superior returns like the recent past , it would not be the right thing to do by investing in short term funds in the industry

 

6.       Moving to Accrual funds with credit portfolio, we are not saying credit default might happen but beware that if yield hardens on a 3 yr AAA rated paper from here it would be more on the AA- and A+ paper. This means low credit portfolio might have high negative MTM impact in case of yield hardening.

 

7.       With global scenario not being so conducive and domestic events not giving 1 year direction for duration based products the best suitable product in the so volatile times like this is BNP Paribas Enhanced Arbitrage Fund

 

 

1.       No duration risk in the portfolio

2.       No credit risk

3.       Equity taxation which saves you 15% on your return

4.       Even on a liquid fund matching performance scenario the net return difference could 15 % higher because of Equity Taxation.

5.       Tax free dividend makes it even more a efficient product

6.       Potential ALPHA generation through long short strategy

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...

SBI bonds FAQ

  Maximum retail subscription and over – subscription There is a lot of excitement around these bonds, so I won't be surprised if they get over-subscribed on the first day itself. So, I thought Sameer asked a very good question about over-subscription. Here is that discussion. Here are some other questions that you may find useful. Can I trade the SBI bonds on NSE after it lists? Yes, these can be traded after listing. Where can I get the application forms, and can I buy the bonds online? You can get the application from notified branches, and then fill it up there and submit it. To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to invest in them online, but if anyone knows otherwise then please leave a message, and let us know. Can NRIs apply for these bonds? NRIs can't apply for these bonds as they fall under one of the ineligible categories. Can you take a loan by keeping the SBI bonds as security? The terms of the issue in the prospectus state that the bank shall no...

Tax Planning: Income tax and Section 80C

In order to encourage savings, the government gives tax breaks on certain financial products under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Investments made under such schemes are referred to as 80C investments. Under this section, you can invest a maximum of Rs l lakh and if you are in the highest tax bracket of 30%, you save a tax of Rs 30,000. The various investment options under this section include:   Provident Fund (PF) & Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) Provident Fund is deducted directly from your salary by your employer. The deducted amount goes into a retirement account along with your employer's contribution. While employer's contribution is exempt from tax, your contribution (i.e., employee's contribution) is counted towards section 80C investments. You can also contribute additional amount through voluntary contributions (VPF). The current rate of interest is 8.5% per annum and interest earned is tax-free. Public Provident Fund (PPF) An account can be opened wi...

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 ...
