Reading a Mutual Fund Account Statement



If you have invested in a mutual fund scheme, the fund house has to send you a statement with details of your investment. You can opt for a physical copy of the statement or a soft copy, which is emailed to you and which you can access online. This statement is sent to you within three working days of the transaction. Here are some important things you need to check in your statement.

Personal Details And Bank Details:

Your name, address, e-mail ID and contact numbers of the investor or joint investors, if any, are mentioned in this section. Check if the name of your bank and account number is mentioned correctly, else you might face hassles when you redeem your mutual fund units. In case you need to change your bank mandate, fill up the slip provided at the bottom of the account statement and submit it to the fund house.

Folio and Account Numbers:

Each time you invest in a mutual fund, the fund house gives you an account number. You could also invest in a number of schemes, such as a debt fund, an equity fund or a tax plan, with the same fund house. In this case, it would be wise to mention your account number so that the fund house can consolidate all accounts under a single folio. This makes it easier to track all the investments with a particular fund house.

Current Cost and Value:

The current value is the latest market value of the investments on the date the statement is generated, while the current cost indicates the amount invested in the scheme. The number of units allotted is calculated using the amount invested divided by the NAV of the scheme as on the date of allotment. In case there is an exit load, it would be deducted from the NAV and the proceeds paid out to the investor.

Advisor's Name and Pan Details:

If you have invested through an agent, his/her name and code will appear on the statement. However, if you have invested directly, these columns should be blank in your account statement. It is mandatory for you to provide your Permanent Account Number (PAN) irrespective of the amount you have invested. Check that the PAN mentioned in the account statement is correct.

Transactions Summary:

This section mentions the types of transactions you have opted for, which might include purchase, systematic investment plan (SIP) or systematic withdrawal plan (SWP). Other transactions like the dividend paid out or reinvestments are also mentioned along with the percentage or rupees per unit at which the dividend is reinvested or paid out.

Feeder funds are the cheapest way to invest in gold

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   There are four ways to put your money in gold — buying physical gold/jewellery , putting money in gold exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ), investing in a gold savings fund and going for the National Spot Exchange's e-gold. Now, some gold ETFs and e-gold even allow taking physical delivery of gold at the end of investment tenure. That might sound good if you wish to possess physical gold. But, given the firm price of gold today (almost ~31,000 per 10g), it is important that gold is bought through acost-effective avenue. Reason: Investing comes at a price. Add to that, India's gold buying is expected to decline in 2012 and 2013, according to the latest World Gold Council ( WGC )report. WGC Director Vipin Sharma feels gold imports may drop to 800 tonnes from 967 tonnes last year. And the mix between the jeweller...

Lump Sum or SIP?

Invest Mutual Fund Online     You have a lump sum in hand and you wish to invest in equity funds. However, you have heard a lot of talk about investing in equity funds through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) because they help average costs, ensure you do not ill-time the market, and help you invest in small sums, besides giving you many other advantages. So, should you invest the money you have in hand in one go, or let it remain in your bank account and then do an SIP? There is no harm in investing a lump sum amount. For all you know, compounding, over the long term, could work better with lump sum. However, make sure you fulfill all of these three criteria if you want to invest in one go. Else, SIP is the way to go. #1: You invest for the long term According to past data, ideally, if you have a time frame of 12 years or more, you can consider lump sum investing (provided you satisfy the other two conditions that follow). So, what is the sanctity behind 12 years? Is it because only...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Balanced

Reliance Regular Savings Balanced fund has shown great resilience during market crash After a shaky start, this fund has established itself as a strong contender in this space. In the past three years it has ridden the market well by not only delivering during the market run-ups but also displaying resilience during the crash. In 2008, it witnessed the second lowest fall among its category and last year it was amongst the top three performers with a return of 76 per cent (category average: 61%).   The poor underperformance in 2006 can well be credited to the low equity allocation of the fund, which stood at just over 10 per cent for only four months that year. Though the fund has the leeway to go up to 75 per cent in equity, it has never touched that limit. In fact, it has exceeded 70 per cent in just five months in its entire history. During the crash of 2008, the fund managers had no problem going right down to 54 per cent (equity exposure). Fund managers Omprakash Kukian and A...
