ICICI Prudential Dynamic Plan

Best SIP Funds to Invest Online 




ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund has re-categorized ICICI Dynamic Plan as a multi-asset fund. The scheme will be called ICICI Prudential Multi-Asset Fund. ICICI Prudential Dynamic Plan was a multicap fund that used to invest across market capitalisation. The new scheme will invest in multiple assets like equity, debt, gold, etc.

the re-categorisation of the scheme has created a lot of confusion among investors. They believe the similarity in names -- multicap and multi-asset -- is adding to the confusion.


According to the Sebi circular on categorisation of mutual funds, multi-asset schemes will invest in at least three asset classes, with a minimum allocation of at least 10 per cent each in all three asset classes. For example, a scheme investing in equity, debt and gold will qualify as a multi-asset scheme. A muilticap scheme, on the other, is an equity scheme that would invest across market capitalisation. Multi-asset schemes are categorised under the hybrid category.

Many advisors believe the change amounts to a total departure from the earlier mandate, and investor should seriously consider quitting the scheme. There is no similarity apart from the names. The scheme is undergoing a mandate change which will change the portfolio of investors. If there is a change in the portfolio, investors should switch



The scheme will now invest in three assets, for example, equity, debt and gold. Investors who are not interested in such an allocation can move out. But, those who are interested to hedge their portfolios with another asset can stay put,



The existing unit holders of the scheme have an option to exit -- that is, either redeem their investments or switch their investments to any other schemes of ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, within 31 days, starting from April 25 to May 25, at applicable NAV, without payment of any exit load. However, exiting the scheme will incur either short-term capital gains tax of 15 per cent or long-term capital gains tax of 10 per cent.



you should stay invested in the new scheme only if you have plans to diversify into multi-asset schemes."If you are interested in the new category of multi-asset funds, you can stay invested. You can invest the extra money in a new multicap scheme. This way you can save on the taxes

Banks tweak ATM strategies

Unrestricted usage of third-party ATMs ends on Thursday The era of free ATM usage will come to an end on Thursday, October 15. Every transaction carried out on another bank’s ATM could cost an account holder as much as Rs 20 and withdrawals will face a limit of Rs 10,000, the Indian Bank’s Association has said in its guidelines. According to the guidelines, banks can offer savings-account holders five free thirdparty withdrawals every month —they can be charged from the sixth transaction onwards. Current account holders can be charged the fees, which ranges from Rs 18 to Rs 20, from the very first transaction. Most banks are convinced that charging current account and no-frill account customers from the word go is a good idea. It suggests that the usage of ATMs by current-account holders is price-insensitive. For others, banks have decided to frame their charges depending on the profile of the customer. For instance, HDFC Bank is allowing its salary account and premium customers an unl...

TDS Rate and Personal Account Number(PAN)

    The TDS rate doubles to 20% from 10% if you fail to mention your Personal Account Number   IF you run a glance through your pay slip, you will come across something called TDS, which is tax deduction at source.

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...

Women need to plan for Retirement

Plan for Retirement Online       Higher life expectancy, lower pay and fewer work years necessitate thorough planning.   Women have raced ahead of men in various fields but, when it comes to retirement planning, they tend to lag behind. Despite saving a higher proportion of their salary, compared to men, women generally do not take retirement planning seriously. Below are some of the reasons why they should: According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in India, the life expectancy of women is 69 years and, of men, it's 66 years. Due to this, a woman will need an additional `55 lakh to manage her living expenses (see table).Besides, usually, women work fewer years compared to men to take care of children and family.Further, a recent study by Korn Ferry Hay Group shows that women in India earn 18.8% less than men.
