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.

To address this concern, asset management companies have launched Capital Protection Oriented Funds (CPOFs). What are CPOFs? CPOFs are generally three to five-year, closed-ended funds where 70-80% of the portfolio is invested in fixed income securities, which mature on or before the scheme's tenure. The investment in fixed income securities grows to 100% at the end of the tenure, providing the investor with capital protection. The remaining portion (20-30%) is used to take exposure to equity, which provides the upside. Exposure to equities is either by directly buying equity stocks (plain vanilla CPOFs) or by b...

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

Good Loan

Why Is It A Good Loan?: Loans against gold are cheaper and better than personal loans as the former are available at lower interest rates. In contrast, the interest rates on personal loans are not standardised and can vary from bank to bank. Also, a personal loan depends on a host of factors including, the borrower's salary, profession and the purpose for which the loan is being taken.      For instance, the interest rate on a personal loan of 5 lakh falls in a wide range of 15-30%. But loans against gold are available for as low as 11%. Secured borrowing such as a loan against gold, investments or property is cheaper because it is backed by some assets, which command a good value at any point of time. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the banks can liquidate the assets to settle the loan account.    Being a secured loan, the risk of default and credit losses is significantly lower in this loan compared to other forms of loan for personal use. Given the lower risk, gold loa...
