Get know-your-customer (KYC) done to invest in Mutual Fund in future

If you're looking to invest or are already invested in a mutual fund, you have to complete a simple verification process before the calendar changes. Mutual funds will not accept new payments unless an investor has obtained a know-your-customer (KYC) acknowledgement. All fresh investments, including switches and existing SIPs that go via auto debit, will be stopped. Earlier, KYC compliance was required only for investments over 50,000. From 1 January 2011, even a 100 investment needs a KYC. It actually saves you the pain of submitting documents with a different fund house each time. The documents are to be submitted only once to be maintained by CDSL Ventures. You can download the forms (amfiindia.com, amfiindia.com / poskyc.aspx or cvlindia.com) or take physical forms from MF houses, service centres or distributors. Fill in your name, PAN card details, address in the form and attach your ID and address proofs along with photographs. Carry originals and copies of documents signed by you. The originals will be returned over the counter. The form along with these documents can be submitted in centres including Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Agra, Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Visakhapatnam

for addresses of these centres. Once submitted, these documents will be stored in your name, and an acknowledgement number or a slip over the counter will be given. The acknowledgement letter will be given within 15 days at the same office.


   If you have investments in any MF, the KYC acknowledgement will have to be notified to the fund house. If you want to withdraw MF investments made years ago, you will have to complete this procedure to receive your money. So, even if you'd invested in the past, notify the fund house of the completion of the verification procedure. Include your folio number when sending the acknowledgement letter to the fund house.

Should you Roll Over 1 year Fixed Maturity Plans?

The period between January and March typically sees an uptick in the launch of fixed maturity plans, or FMPs. Not this year. Instead, fund houses are busy rolling over or extending the tenure of their one- year FMPs launched last year to three years. Investors in one- year FMPs have a choice. Either redeem units or roll over to three years. If you exit now, your gains will be added to your income and taxed in line with your individual slab rate of 10, 20 or 30 per cent. If you stay invested for two more years, you pay 20 per cent tax with indexation benefit. Yields have softened in the past few months on expectations of a rate cut. If the central bank continues its soft monetary stance, yields are likely to fall further. In such a scenario, it makes sense for investors, particularly those in the 30 per cent tax bracket, to roll over their investments and lock in at a higher yield now. In a surprise move, the Reserve Bank of India cut repo rate by 25 basis

Mutual Fund Review: IDFC Premier Equity Fund

These make it less vulnerable to fluctuations compared with others in the category   IDFC Premier Equity Fund is designed to invest in upcoming, but promising businesses available at cheap valuations, and hold on to these businesses until they reap desired returns. The experiment has been successful so far, and IDFC Premier Equity has emerged as one of the top performing mutual fund schemes in the mid- and smallcap category of equity schemes.    While the scheme is an open-ended equity fund, i.e. open for subscriptions throughout the year, it has a unique philosophy to limit fresh inflows.

Since inception, IDFC Premier Equity has been opened for l
