Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...

Stock Dividend Yields

During a bull run, it’s very easy to ignore stocks with high dividend yields. After all, what could be more enticing than a growth stock? But in times of crisis, these boring ones tend to be the most sought after. The reason being that not only do dividends provide a cushion when the market is in the doldrums but such stocks also tend to fall less. The lure of dividend yield stocks is not easy to ignore. These stocks offer capital appreciation as well as cash payments. But logically, any company that pays a substantial portion of its earnings in dividends is reinvesting less and, therefore, would grow at a slower pace. So the trade-off is between higher dividend yields for lower earnings growth. On the other hand, companies with high growth potential and volatile earnings tend to pay less by way of dividends, if at all. Such companies would rather reinvest their earnings to sustain their growth. The capital appreciation of growth stocks is obviously higher than in dividend yield ones. ...
