Sundaram Diversified Equity Fund

 

Sundaram Diversified Equity Fund

  • Investment Style: Large Growth
  • Investment Process: A well-defined process aimed at constructing a growth-oriented portfolio of high-conviction ideas
  • Fund Manager: S. Krishnakumar
  • Despite the presence of an experienced and capable manager at the helm, we'd like to see the investment team stabilise before we build more conviction on the fund.

Although the investment team is quite experienced, they recently underwent a restructuring process, with managers being assigned roles that reflect their areas of strength. While Rahul Baijal manages the AMC's large-cap strategies, Shiv Chanani now manages flexi-cap strategies and Krishnakumar manages the fund's small- and mid-cap mandates in addition to his role as the CIO of equities. We think that the restructuring will yield positive results over the long term. However, we would like to evaluate the impact of these changes over a longer term before we build more conviction on the team.

The fund's investment strategy has remained flexible, moving across market capitalisations. Its current exposure to mid-cap stocks in the portfolio ranges between 35% and 40%. However, this can change significantly based on its investment avenues. The fund is currently run with a slightly concentrated approach at a sector level with the manager deviating significantly from the index weightings.

This strategy has its own share of risks, and wrong sector calls by the fund manager can lead to substantial underperformance compared with its peers. While we have a positive view on the manager, we want to adapt a wait-and-watch approach until the team stabilises.

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free. Turn to page 28 to see how much tax this can save. However, the take-home pay of the employee will come down. Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax upto Rs 46,350 under Section 80C.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds     `HOW green was my valley'. This title comes from a movie I had watched many years ago. A little boy's journey into adulthood and the story of a Welsh valley's turn of-the-century descent from pristine paradise to despoiled coal mining.   I thought of the title because it is comparatively reflective of a person's life ­ the glorious years when he is earning and the sun down years when he is not having his regular job and, hence, his living standards comes down. The reason is a combination of things. Inflation of food items, transport, increase in health related costs in the later years of life and increase in expenses in almost all basic amenities of life. In India, the social security system is almost non-existent. In some states, wherever it is available, the scales of benefits are extremely modest...

BHIM App

BANK FDs for Tax Saving

This is probably the easiest way to save tax if you have a Netbanking account . After the demonetisation and the digital push, almost everyone has one. A few clicks of the mouse and your tax planning is done. However, as mentioned earlier, this convenience comes at a very high cost. Interest rates have come down significantly and are close to 7-7.5% right now. The bigger problem is that the interest is fully taxable. It is added to the income of the investor and taxed at the marginal rate applicable to him. In the highest 30% tax bracket , the post-tax yield is close to 5%. Even so, tax-saving fixed deposits are suitable for risk averse investors, especially senior citizens who might already have hit the ` 15 lakh ceiling in the Senior Citizens' Saving Scheme and don't want to lock in money for the long term in a PPF account . Though NSCs offer higher rates than most banks, many senior citizens prefer to invest in deposits of their own banks, because they get better service ...
