Franklin India Balanced Fund


Franklin India Balanced Fund scheme seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with stability of investment and current income from a balanced portfolio of high quality equity and fixed-income securities.


Franklin India Balanced Fund, which has never dipped below three stars in the last 12 years, this fund is the ideal fit for conservative investors. It takes very few risks both on its equity- or debt-market investments.


Franklin India Balanced Fund mandate allows an asset allocation of 50-75 per cent in equities. But in practice, the fund has maintained about a 68-32 allocation between equity and debt on a steady-state basis. The equity style followed is growth at a reasonable price. The fund manager also uses a macro overlay to align the sectoral exposure in line with the economic growth outlook.


On debt Investment, the focus is to generate regular coupon income, along with some capital appreciation through active duration management. The debt portfolio is usually invested in corporate-debt instruments.


With its stated focus on low-volatility returns, this fund has navigated bear markets as well as bull phases. Though traditionally a sedate performer in bull markets, in the last three and five years, the fund has beaten its benchmark by 5-6 percentage points. The outperformance relative to the category is more modest, at 1-2 percentage points.


In recent times, the fund has been overweight on large-cap stocks relative to the category, with an allocation of over 85 per cent within the equity portion. It has been underweight on mid- and small-cap stocks. This should shield returns from volatility should markets decline.


On the debt side, the latest portfolio featured AA exposure of about 8 per cent, with the bulk of the allocation in sovereign and AAA bonds.


A good option for investors who would like to limit downside.

Liquidity Adjustment Facility

Liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) is a money market tool used by the central bank of a country (in India it is the Reserve Bank of India ), to infuse funds into the country's banking system when liquidity dries up. Again, in case there is excess liquidity, the central bank uses some tools to help banks manage their surplus liquidity. Usually the RBI uses the repurchase facility (called Repo ) to give short-term loans to banks to meet their temporary liquidity shortage. On the other, hand RBI uses reverse repo facility to help banks park their excess liquidity with it. Banks usually use various securities, which are approved by the RBI, as collateral when they take money from the RBI to meet their short term liquidity requirement     Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1.
