IDFC Tax Advantage (ELSS) Fund

  
IDFC Tax Advantage (ELSS) scheme seeks to build a diversified portfolio comprising of stocks of companies with strong fundamentals that are available at reasonable valuations. The scheme can be fully into equities (and equity related securities) and upto 20% in debt & money market instruments.


IDFC Tax Advantage (ELSS) Fund  which has earned its stripes by beating its benchmark every year except the first one (2009). This performance has earned it a four-star rating for much of the last three years.


The fund has a higher-than-category allocation to both mid-cap and small-cap stocks. Mid caps have made up anywhere between 30 and 45 per cent of the portfolio. Large caps have accounted for 40-50 per cent. Small caps have made up 20 odd per cent. The fund is managed on the basis of a growth-at-a-reasonable-price philosophy. It does take both cash and debt calls on occasion. The fund believes in identifying companies based on a deep understanding of the industry-growth potential and interaction with managements.


The fund is yet to be tested in a severe bear market, as it was launched after 2008. Its record in 2011 showed ability to contain downside. The fund has beaten its benchmark by sizeable margins of 5-6 percentage points over three and five years, though one-year returns show it lagging behind the category. The fund hasn't been a huge category outperformer but a return of 20 per cent (since launch) is not to be scoffed at. The higher mid- and small-cap tilt, however, may peg up volatility if the latter's high valuations prompt a correction.


Investors can take smaller exposures to this fund until a longer track record is at hand.

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

Good Loan

Why Is It A Good Loan?: Loans against gold are cheaper and better than personal loans as the former are available at lower interest rates. In contrast, the interest rates on personal loans are not standardised and can vary from bank to bank. Also, a personal loan depends on a host of factors including, the borrower's salary, profession and the purpose for which the loan is being taken.      For instance, the interest rate on a personal loan of 5 lakh falls in a wide range of 15-30%. But loans against gold are available for as low as 11%. Secured borrowing such as a loan against gold, investments or property is cheaper because it is backed by some assets, which command a good value at any point of time. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the banks can liquidate the assets to settle the loan account.    Being a secured loan, the risk of default and credit losses is significantly lower in this loan compared to other forms of loan for personal use. Given the lower risk, gold loa...

Some tips for individual investors for investment planning

These days, the stock markets are quite volatile in nature with a bearish bias. Rallies do not last long in the markets and peaks of market rallies are reducing. The markets are hitting fresh lows in every fall. Many blue chip stocks are trading 50 percent lower than their high levels. Many stocks are currently trading at their year's low prices or all-time low prices. Many investors have lost their hard-earned money and many others are stuck with stocks that have corrected heavily in the last few weeks. Here are some tips for investors already invested in the stock markets: 1) Hold fundamentally strong options The domestic macroeconomic fundamentals are strong. The GDP growth rate is expected to slow down slightly from the nine percent last year to around 7 - 7.5 percent this year. This is still quite good and encouraging in comparison to other developed countries. The current market crash can be attributed largely to foreign institutional investors' ( FIIs ) outflows but...
