ELSS Funds

Best SIP Funds to Invest Online 

Returns: 13.62% (Last three years) 

Equities had a terrific 2017, and the rally has continued into the new year. The average ELSS fund rose 36% during 2017, and even the long-term performance is fairly decent. The category has given 18% compounded returns in the past five years. Investors have seen their wealth double in a little over four years. What's more, the returns are tax free because long-term capital gains from equity funds are exempt from tax. 

SIPs are when Stock Market is high volatile. Invest in Best Mutual Fund SIPs and get good returns over a period of time. Know Top SIP Funds to Invest Save Tax Get Rich

While ELSS funds look attractive, the elephant in the room is the all-time high level of the market. The Nifty is trading at a PE of almost 27 and many analysts have advised investors to be cautious. Others say that expectations of returns from equities need to be toned down. Given the high levels of the markets right now, don't expect equity funds to repeat the performance of the past 1-2 years in 2018. 


Some investors have stopped their SIPs in ELSS funds because markets are high. I will restart SIPs when markets correct. We believe stopping SIPs for a few months will not make a significant difference to his overall returns.

 
An aggressive investor, he invests in ELSS funds to save tax. But he is also a careful investor and invests through SIPs of Rs 5,000 per month. 
Smart tip: Avoid investing large sums in ELSS at one go. Take the SIP route for best results. 

The Best ELSS Funds


Don't base your choice on a fund's short term performance. The stability of returns is more important than the quantum of gain. Look at the 3-year and 5-year performance of the scheme before you make a choice. Small investors often treat ELSS funds as short-term investments and exit after the three-year lock in period. Look at ELSS funds as regular equity funds that should be held for the long term. 


If you are investing for the long term, don't go for the dividend option. Dividends are just another way of booking profits because the amount received gets deducted from the NAV. The dividend reinvestment option is even worse. Every time the fund gives out a dividend and reinvests the money into your account, the three-year lock in period starts all over again. In effect, you are locked in for perpetuity.

Tata Mutual Fund

Being a part of the Tata group, the fund has the backing of a very trusted brand name with strong retail connect. While the current CEO has done an excellent job in leveraging the Tata brand name to AMC's advantage, it is ironic that this was just not capitalised on at the start. Incorporated in 1995, Tata Mutual Fund remained an 'also-ran' fund house for around eight years. Till March 2003, it had a little over Rs 1,000 crore in assets and 19 AMCs were ahead of it. But soon after that the equation changed. It was the fastest growing fund house in 2004 and 2005. During these two years, it aggressively launched six equity funds, two debt funds and one MIP. The fund house as of now stands at No. 8 in terms of asset size. This fund house has a lot to offer by way of choice. And, it also has a number of well performing schemes. Tata Pure Equity, Tata Equity PE and Tata Infrastructure are all good funds. It also has quite a few good debt funds. The funds of Tata AMC are known to...

UTI Mutual Fund

Even though only a few of UTI’s funds are great performers, this public sector fund house has many advantages that its rivals do not. It has a huge base of retail equity investors and a vast distribution network. As a business, it looks stronger than ever, especially in the aftermath of credit crunch. UTI is, by a large margin, the most profitable fund company in the country. This is not surprising, since managing equity funds is more profitable than debt. Its conservative approach and stable parentage is likely to make it look more attractive to investors in times to come. UTI’s big problem is the dragging performance that many of its equity funds suffer from. In recent times, the management has made a concerted effort to improve performance. However, these moves have coincided with a disastrous phase in the stock markets and that has made it impossible to judge whether the overhaul will eventually be a success. UTI’s top performers are a few index funds, some hybrid funds and its inf...

Debt Funds - Check The Expiry Date

This time we give you an insight into something that most debt fund investors would be unaware of, the Average Portfolio Maturity. As we all know, debt funds invest in bonds and securities. These instruments mature over a certain period of time, which is called maturity. The maturity is the length of time till the principal amount is returned to the security-holder or bond-holder. A debt fund invests in a number of such instruments and each of these instruments would be having different maturity times. Hence, the fund calculates a weighted average maturity, which would give a fair idea of the fund's maturity period. For example, if a fund owns three bonds of 2-year (Rs 30,000), 3-year (Rs 10,000) and 5-year (Rs 20,000) maturities, its weighted average maturity would be 3.17 years. What is the big deal about average maturity then, you may ask. Well, knowing a fund's average maturity is important because it tells you how sensitive a fund is to the change in interest rates. It is ...
