ICICI Prudential Bluechip Fund

Best SIP Funds to Invest Online 



ICICI Prudential AMC has decided to change fundamental attributes of ICICI Prudential Focused Bluechip Equity Fund to comply with Sebi's re-categorisation norms for mutual funds. The scheme will be renamed as ICICI Prudential Bluechip Fund. The change will be effective from May 28.

The scheme has been categorised as an open-ended equity scheme, predominantly investing in largecap stocks. In its earlier avatar, the scheme was supposed to invest in equity and equity-related securities of about 20 companies, belonging to the largecap domain and the balance in debt securities and money market instruments.

The scheme will now invest a minimum 80 per cent of the corpus in equity and equity-related securities belonging to the largecap domain.
 
It will invest the balance in equity and equity-related securities falling outside the largecap domain, as prescribed by Sebi or Amfi from time to time, and in debt securities and money market instruments. The scheme manages assets worth Rs 16,102 crore as on March 31.

What to do with ICICI Prudential Bluechip Fund ?
Technically, there is no change in the scheme. Only the name has changed. We advise investors to hold back and continue with the scheme

The scheme continues to be a largecap category. This scheme had a provision which allowed the fund manager to increase the number of stocks beyond 20 if the assets of the fund grew beyond Rs 1,000 crore. This limit was crossed many years ago. The scheme on an average had 47 stocks in its portfolio in the the past three years.

Scheme has attractive performance record. It is not a very aggressive fund and aims to deliver returns which are two-three per cent above Nifty returns and the fund has been doing that very well. Unless your financial goals have changed, you need not do anything to your investments in ICICI Prudential Focused Bluechip Equity Fund

Sebi has issued a circular on categorisation and rationalisation of open-ended mutual fund schemes in October 2017. To ensure uniformity among the schemes belonging to the same category, Sebi mandated largecap schemes to invest minimum 80 per cent of total assets in largecap companies. Largecap companies have been defined as top 100 companies in terms of market capitalisation.

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...

8 Investing Strategy

The stock market ‘meltdown’ witnessed since the start of 2005 (notwithstanding the recent marginal recovery) has once again brought to the forefront an inherent weakness existent in our markets. This is the fact that FIIs, indisputably and almost entirely, dominate the Indian stock market sentiments and consequently the market movements. In this article, we make an attempt to list down a few points that would aid an investor in mitigating the risks and curtailing the losses during times of volatility as large investors (read FIIs) enter and exit stocks. Read on Manage greed/fear: This is an important point, which every investor must keep in mind owing to its great influencing ability in equity investment decisions. This point simply means that in a bull run - control the greed factor, which could entice you, the investor, to compromise with your investment principles. By this we mean that while an investor could get lured into investing in penny and small-cap stocks owing to their eye-...

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 ...
