BNP Paribas Government Securities Fund Invest in a gilt fund such as this only if you already have a diversified portfolio of bond funds

 

 

FEATURES:

 

It is an open-ended debt fund with a sole focus on having a government securities exposure.


FOR WHOM:

 

With a Rs 5,000 minimum investment condition, the NFO (new fund offer) can be considered for investment purpose by existing debt investors seeking an additional debt market sectoral exposure to government securities.

NFO PERIOD:

 

The fund will remain open for subscription from April 18 to April 30. The mutual fund could close it a day earlier on April 29.

ASSET ALLOCATION & BENCHMARK:

 

The fund's scheme information document (SID) states it will invest 65-100 per cent in government securities issued by central or state governments as well as treasury bills. Interestingly, 0-35 per cent allocation window is kept open for investments in units of other gilt (government securities-oriented) funds in addition to units of liquid funds and CBLO (money market instrument). The fund's benchmark is I Sec Composite Gilt Index.

 

CHARGES:

Annual recurring charges will be to the highest allowed by Sebi for such funds, 2.25 per cent. The highest limit will be lower at 2.0 per cent if you opt for the direct plan, which you should if you are not investing through a distributor or an agent.

This is the eighth gilt fund NFO since December last year launched by mutual funds that didn't already have a gilt fund among their debt product offerings. Six of them were medium to long-term gilt funds and two were short-term gilt funds. 

All of them have dangled the carrot of returns being higher for investors as there is an expectation of falling interest rates that will benefit gilt funds and long-term debt funds the most. A performance analysis based on April 22 NAVs from Capitaline NAV database reveals the average two-month returns of 45 medium to long-term gilt funds was 1.85 per cent, not better or worse than the average two-month return of 1.84 per cent of 78 income funds and average two-month return of 1.87 per cent of 46 short-term income funds. Over the long term, gilt funds tend to slag because of their restrictive investment universe of G-secs. If you are a medium to long-term investor, you can not efficiently play the timing game of when to exit before the tide turns. It is a risky game. It is, therefore, better to invest in a medium-term, long-term or a dynamic bond fund that invests in all types of debt securities, such as corporate debentures, bank CDs and G-secs. Invest in a gilt fund such as this only if you already have a diversified portfolio of bond funds and short-term debt funds.

Liquidity Adjustment Facility

Liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) is a money market tool used by the central bank of a country (in India it is the Reserve Bank of India ), to infuse funds into the country's banking system when liquidity dries up. Again, in case there is excess liquidity, the central bank uses some tools to help banks manage their surplus liquidity. Usually the RBI uses the repurchase facility (called Repo ) to give short-term loans to banks to meet their temporary liquidity shortage. On the other, hand RBI uses reverse repo facility to help banks park their excess liquidity with it. Banks usually use various securities, which are approved by the RBI, as collateral when they take money from the RBI to meet their short term liquidity requirement     Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1.

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free. Turn to page 28 to see how much tax this can save. However, the take-home pay of the employee will come down. Invest Rs 1,50,000 and Save Tax upto Rs 46,350 under Section 80C.
