Investors are on a spare tyre given the way financial markets have behaved post 2008 crises. Think of a bumpy car ride to an uncertain destination that has used up all the spare tyres, that's how investors have gone through in the last few years. But as Benjamin Franklin said, "To succeed, jump as quickly at opportunities as you do to conclusion", it is in these volatile times that the need for structured approach towards financial planning guided by active allocation matching your risk profile is the key to long term superior returns.


Devising an asset allocation plan is crucial to achieve one's financial goals. Protection against significant losses and enhancing portfolio returns with muted volatility are key objectives of asset allocation. Asset classes perform differently across different time frames


Hence active asset allocation is the optimal way to maximise your returns while reducing risk too. Equities are one of the most risky and volatile asset classes. Diversification is of utmost importance in equity since there are more subsets in equity asset class like sectors, themes, capitalisation, etc. Different sectors or themes perform diversely in different phases. For example, infrastructure boom was from 2005 to 2007 while post the Lehman Brothers crash in 2008 and the subsequent crisis, there was a rally in the domestic consumption theme in India. Similarly, midcaps led the rally in Indian equity markets from 2004 to 2008. Hence, investing through the approach of active asset class allocation will enhance your rewards. Table 2 explains how diversification helps giving better risk-adjusted performance.


Mutual funds are best placed to perform this function in your portfolio as they are inherently built to invest across sectors and market capitalisation. To sum it up choose the right asset mix through a well-diversified plan and leave the job in the hand of professional institutions and also don't forget to periodically review your portfolio.

NPS - How much to Invest?

  Though the deduction offered under Section 80CCD (1B) is `50,000 , it is not advisable to put the entire amount at one go. It is best to stagger your investments across several months, much like the SIP strategy in a mutual fund. However, don't make too many small contributions. There is a transaction charge of 0.25% or `20 (whichever is higher) on every contribution. If you invest `500-1,000 every month, you pay `20 per contribution, which works out to 2-4%. Invest at least `5,000-10,000 at one go. Remember, at most `2,500-5,000 of this will go into equities if you have chosen the maximum 50% allocation to stocks. The rest will flow into corporate bonds and gilt funds as per your desired allocation. Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1. ICICI Prudential Tax Plan 2.

EPF or NPS - Why not both?

  In the Budget, Jaitley also empowered the corporate employees to choose between the EPF and the NPS. The details are awaited but this could be a big change in the way Indians save for retirement. However, your employer must be ready to shift to the NPS as well. Should you shift to NPS if it is allowed? Experts say you should opt for both . NPS offered by corporates now is additional to the EPF , so the same structure should continue in future also. However, much will depend on the rules and whether employers and the Labour Ministry will embrace the change.     Best Tax Saver Mutual Funds or ELSS Mutual Funds for 2015 1.
