IIFL Nifty ETF



India Infoline Asset Management Company is the latest to enter the mutual fund industry. Its first offering is an exchangetraded fund (ETF) called IIFL Nifty ETF. The fund will invest in securities that make up the S&P CNX Nifty Index, in the same proportion as the index. The Nifty tracks the behaviour of a portfolio of bluechip companies, the largest and most liquid Indian securities.
Exchange-traded funds score on account of their low-cost structure when compared with actively managed fund. The IIFL Nifty ETF proposes to have one of the lowest cost structures in the industry with expense ratio capped at as low as 0.25%. Actively managed funds charge a fee of between 1% to 2.5% as expense ratio.
There are two things to look at in an exchange-traded fund. One is the size of the fund and the second is the tracking error. Tracking error tells us the difference in return between the actual fund and its benchmark.
Both these aspects can be gauged once the fund has been in existence for some time and has a track record. Hence, experts advise investing in such funds through the secondary markets, rather than in NFOs.
The fund size should be big enough so that investors are not exposed to the moves of a single investor or a group of investors.
Exchange-traded funds are popular in the global markets where they account for 5% of the industry. In India, however, they are yet to pick up and account for merely 1% of the size of the industry.

The IIFL Nifty ETF new fund offer (NFO) is open till October 12. Investors can either buy it during the NFO or from the NSE once it is listed 10 days after the NFO closes.

However, to buy it fromthe stock exchange, investors need to have a broking account as well as a demat account, which come at a cost.

WHY INVEST:

The fund has one of the lowest expense ratio of 25 basis points. The Goldman Sachs Nifty ETS has an expense ratio of 50 basis points.

WHY NOT TO INVEST:

Since an ETF has no history, one cannot say with certainty what the tracking error will be. A high tracking error is not good for investors.

Surrender ULPPs

  ICICI Pru LifeTime and ICICI Pru Lifestage are Unit Linked Pension Plans. Such insurance linked retirement plans are neither good investments nor do they offer sufficient insurance cover. As you can see, these have turned out to be bad deals. In the Lifetime plan, the fund value is not even equal to the total premiums that you have paid and in the Lifestage plan your return is just about 6% which is quite low. The mortality charges are as per your age which is why they have increased. Moreover, once these plans matures, you will have to compulsorily opt for annuity (regular income) and the annuity rates are generally modest. Assuming these plans mature in the next one year, it will be wise to surrender the plan now and curb your future commitments.   Before you choose to buy a term plan, you have to consider a few points. You need to insure yourself, only during the time you are working and your family is financially dependent on you. At the age of 59, not all insurance companies w...

SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE

Invest SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP ONLINE   SBI MAGNUM MIDCAP fund didn't fare well in its initial years but, in recent years, has steadily improved its performance under the capable hands of its current fund manager. Although investing predominantly in mid-cap stocks, the average market capitalisation of its portfolio is lower than other category peers.   Although the stock selection approach is mostly bottom-up , the fund manager doesn't shy away from taking bold sector bets , as is reflected in its large exposure to the healthcare sector. She is equally adept at handling performance across market cycles--the fund has captured more of the upside during market upticks and contained the downside during downturns in a better manner than its peers.   Given its superior risk-reward equation, the fund is a worthy pick in its category.     ----------------------------------------------- Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax under Section 80C.

Group Health Insurance

Buy Group Health Insurance Online   For Human Resources, the biggest challenge today is to decide whether medical benefits should be offered to employees or not, what type of plans should be offered, what will be the cost and how will the cost be split between employees and employer. Well, most of these are subjective and would depend on a lot of factors including company size, average employee salary, etc. However, this article will give you a fair idea on how you should go about deciding these factors: 1. Why offer group health insurance benefit to employees : Studies have proved that retention rates among employers offering GHI are much higher than the ones who are not offering.
