ICICI Pru Dynamic Fund

 

The cash and equity allocation of the fund is decided by the price to book value-based algorithm, which is done on a daily basis.

 

Since contra calls form a part of investing style, the fund manager does hold stocks in out-of-favour sectors. Its exposure to energy, metals, chemicals and communication exceeds benchmark allocation by more than 5 per cent. Similarly, it is underweight on financial sector vis-a-vis the benchmark as its exposure has usually been in the range of 10 to 15 per cent and occasionally crossing 20 per cent. Since the fund manager is not bound by a particular style of investing -- whether it is growth, value or contra -- he has the discretion to take aggressive or defensive asset calls, based on market conditions. Reliance Industries and Texmaco Infrastructure and Holdings have been consistently held for more than 8 years.

 

Also, the fund does not shy away from taking cash calls as its cash allocation has sometimes gone above 20 per cent. Its average equity allocation since its launch is 85 per cent.

 

Performance


In 2008 it fell by 44 per cent compared to category's 54.79 per cent. Again in 2011, it was able to contain the decline better than the category average by 3 per cent. On the downside, it fails to show the same prowess during a rising market. It has given a mixed performance during market upturns in 2010 and 2012 and did only marginally better than the category average. But, it has managed to give higher returns than the category average in over 6 years since its inception. And has also managed to beat the benchmark always since its launch except 2007.

 

Its long term results reflect consistent performance as its 5-year annualised returns of 7.64 per cent are slightly better than the category average of 5.19 per cent.

 

Why invest?


The fund is known for its agility and its composition changes according to the market volatility; helping it fall less during downturns and also post decent gains during upturns. All this has helped it emerge as the second-largest fund in its category.

Happy Investing!!

ULIP Review: ProGrowth Super II

  If you are interested in a death cover that's just big enough, HDFC SL ProGrowth Super II is something worth a try. The beauty is it has something for everybody — you name the risk profile, the category is right up there. But do a SWOT analysis of the basket, and the gloss fades     HDFC SL ProGrowth Super II is a type-II unit-linked insurance plan ( ULIP ). Launched in September 2010, this is a small ticket-size scheme with multiple rider options and adequate death cover. It offers five investment options (funds) — one in each category of large-cap equity, mid-cap equity, balanced, debt and money market fund. COST STRUCTURE: ProGrowth Super II is reasonably priced, with the premium allocation charge lower than most others in the category. However, the scheme's mortality charge is almost 60% that of LIC mortality table for those investing early in life. This charge reduces with age. BENEFITS: Investors can choose a sum assured between 10-40 times the annualised premium...

FCCB buyback

WITH dismal share valuations causing bondholders to redeem, and not convert their foreign currency convertible bonds ( FCCBs ), which until early this year were regarded as one of the most preferred options for raising corporate debt, suddenly seem to have become millstones around the necks of issuers. It is the redemption pressure on cash-starved issuers, coupled with the need to preserve liquidity by mitigating further forex outflow, which seems to have prompted the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ) to issue the circular permitting buyback of FCCBs. As per the circular, issuers can now buyback FCCBs under the automatic route up to any limit out of existing foreign resources or by raising fresh external commercial borrowings (ECBs,) if effected at a minimum discount of 15% on the book value. Further, FCCBs up to $50 million can be bought back with prior RBI approval out of rupee resources representing “internal accruals”, if effected at a minimum discount of 25% on the book value. I...
