NFO Review: JP Morgan floats Asean Equity fund

 

JP Morgan Asset Management India on Tuesday floated an open ended fund of funds scheme called JP Morgan JF ASEAN Equity Offshore fund, which will primarily invest in companies from countries such as Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines.

These countries represent the Association of South East Asian Nations (Asean). Along with these countries, the fund will also invest in five peripheral countries such as Vietnam, Brunei, Lao PDR, Cambodia and Myanmar.

The fund is riding on a steady economy, burgeoning middle-class, growing tourism and resilient financial sector that these countries offer.

The underlying fund has invested over 90 per cent of its funds in Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia as on Mar 31, the company said. "We believe Asean offers one of the most compelling investment opportunities in the region. Apart from the wealth of natural resources, countries in this region have low debts levels, strong population growth with positive implications on consumption and increased infrastructure spending. We expect the Asean bloc to be the sixth largest globally by 2025," said Adam Mathews, MD & head-Asian CPM team, JP Morgan AMC.

Arindam Ghosh, vicepresident, head ­ retail sales added "One should remain invested in India's long-term growth story, but the fund provides local investors an opportunity to invest in countries outside India which are offering them to participate in their growth story". The fund is open from June 10 to June 24, and the performance of the fund will be benchmarked against the MSCI South East Asia Index.

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
