Another fund with a 17 year track record, DSP BlackRock Balanced Fund has delivered an impressive 13.7 per cent return per annum over the past 10 years.

Core Philosophy
The DSPBR Balanced Fund is managed with the core philosophy of long-term wealth creation and income distribution. The crucial aspect of this philosophy is to achieve these goals in a consistent manner while assuming risks to prudent and controllable levels. The Fund is mandated to invest in equities from 65 per cent to maximum of 75 per cent and the rest in debt. Where equity proportion is managed in a diversified style to generate returns over the long-term, the debt part helps in cushioning the volatility in equity market. While they don't believe in timing the markets and stay invested in equity of good quality and growing companies, this proportion is balanced frequently to benefit from the market volatility. On the debt side, the fund endeavors to deliver stable fixed income returns through coupons and capital appreciation. The fund invests in a mix of strong corporate credits and
Government securities.

Strategy
On the equity side of the fund, as already mentioned above, they don't believe in timing the markets and stay invested in equity of good quality and growing companies. Hence equity portion of DSPBR Balanced Fund would stay invested on the higher side i.e. around 72-74 per cent most of the time. Secondly, to help achieve the goal of long-term wealth creation, the equity portion would have a large-cap to midcap exposure in ratio of around 60 to 35.

Though the fund will be managed with a bottom-up approach, pre-dominant style would be to buy and hold companies with compounding growth in revenues and in earnings run by good, competent managements. Limited part of the portfolio would be exposed to value or turnaround names depending on conviction levels about them. At the same
time, the endeavor is to avoid apparent value picks or companies making severe capital allocation mistakes. Both the aspects means the fund can deviate from the broad market indices by a considerable degree. On the Debt side, the fund will maintain a medium term duration strategy. The fund will look to invest in the liquid segments of the curve.

Risk Management
For the equity portfolio, risks can be managed at two levels, at overall portfolio level and at individual stock level. At the portfolio level, the risk is managed by better diversification across sectors and stocks. DSPBR Balanced Fund intends to limit top 5/10 stock weight to the extent of roughly 20/30 per cent respectively. Secondly, to benefit from any particular sector or theme also, the Fund desires to create a basket of companies to spread the bets. At individual company level, they believe if one has invested in a good quality company with competent management and with long-term view, risks get reduced substantially. As far as fixed income is concerned, the mix of strong
credit focus and government securities selection provides adequate liquidity while maintaining attractive yields.

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

Mutual Fund Review: L&T MIP

        This fund won't deliver chart-topping returns. However, over the long run it will not disappoint and end up beating the category average The fund has seen numerous changes at the helm. When Katare took over in October 2007, he made dramatic alterations to the portfolio. On the equity side, he increased the number of stocks to 11 (November) from 2 (September). On the debt side, he added Certificates of Deposit (CDs), while earlier Treasury Bills (T-Bills) and cash accounted for 88 per cent (September 2007) of the portfolio.

Reconfigure investments to reap benefits in DTC

    Investing for tax benefits under the new Direct Taxes Code ( DTC ) will be different in several ways from what taxpayers are familiar with right now. This will require some reconfiguration in the nature of investments for the investor and they need to be ready to tackle the changes that will come about once the new DTC is implemented from financial year 2012-13.One area of interest for most taxpayers is the manner in which they can extract the maximum tax benefit. Here is a look at the situation and also how it changes from the existing position. Basic deduction: At present, there is a deduction of Rs 1 lakh that is available for an individual when they make investments under specified areas such as provident fund, public provident fund, national savings certificates, equity linked savings scheme and insurance premium, among others. This benefit is available under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. This has been replaced by a new Section 68 under the DTC where there is a deduct...

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...

And this sales pitch often gets louder when the market conditions have been favourable. Some of the agents / distributors / relationship managers have another unique way of luring you. They say, "Sir / madam this scheme has been awarded the best scheme award in the past by a leading business channel"... And hearing all these sales talks you investors very often get attracted and sign a cheque in favour of the respective scheme.   But please ask yourself do you hear these sales talks when the capital markets turn turbulent?
