There are no tax benefits, under equity linked savings scheme (ELSS), for this fund's investors

FEATURES & NFO PERIOD:

 

 The Union KBC Trigger Fund-Series 1 (UKTFS1) is a three-year tenured close-ended equity fund, which will open for public subscription on October 14 and close on October 25.

Thereafter, being a close-ended fund, it does not reopen for continuous purchases and redemptions.

There are no tax benefits, under equity linked savings scheme (ELSS), for this fund's investors.

UNIQUE FEATURES:

 

As the word `trigger' in the name suggests UKTFS1 will prematurely close the fund if the net asset value of the fund touches Rs 13 (face value of a unit being Rs 10), anytime from allotment date to its three-year later maturity date in October 2016. In other words, a 30 per cent appreciation before maturity date will trigger a premature end to the close-ended fund. The exact premature redemption date, in the event of Rs 13 NAV getting triggered, will not be the exact trigger date, but will be the 10th working day from it. This is to enable the fund manager to liquidate all the holdings.

ASSET ALLOCATION & BENCHMARK:

 

UKT FS1's scheme informa tion document states it will invest 80-100 per cent in equities, a pre dominant part of which will be in BSE 200 index constituent-stocks. It can also deploy up to 20 per cent in debt and money market securities. Benchmark index will be BSE 200.

Though UKTFS1 is a first-of-its-kind equity fund, the value-add being offered, that of a 30 per cent trigger is not great in the sense of offering a compelling reason for an investor in putting his money in it.


Most online equity trading portals and mutual fund transaction portals offer their clients the feature of client-fixed price alerts. These alerts enable every investor to sell his holdings if he thinks his desired objective is fulfilled, and these can vary from investor to investor as per the investors' chosen preferences. There is nothing sacrosanct in a 30 per cent trigger, which UKTFS1 is offering. Moreover, since it is close-ended, a falling NAV will not enable investors to opt out before the three-year period is over. But if an online fund transaction portal gives you alerts or even trigger-based trade facility, then you can be invested in an openended equity fund and opt out both ways, when the NAV is rising or falling. With respect to past performance track record of the AMC, its sole open-ended diversified Union KBC equity fund has not fared greatly.


As of October 9, the scheme ranked 26th, and 27th, in one-year, and two-year, returns among 58 diversified open-ended large-cap equity funds.

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...

Mutual Fund Review: L&T MIP

        This fund won't deliver chart-topping returns. However, over the long run it will not disappoint and end up beating the category average The fund has seen numerous changes at the helm. When Katare took over in October 2007, he made dramatic alterations to the portfolio. On the equity side, he increased the number of stocks to 11 (November) from 2 (September). On the debt side, he added Certificates of Deposit (CDs), while earlier Treasury Bills (T-Bills) and cash accounted for 88 per cent (September 2007) of the portfolio. In November 2007 he exited T-Bills for good. The results impressed. In the last quarter of 2007, it delivered 12.83 per cent (category average: 6.12%). In 2008, the first quarter performance was nothing short of impressive, a return of 9.93 per cent (category average: -3.97%). While other players increased their portfolio maturity, Katare maintained a low maturity profile. While the average maturity of the category was 2.81 years that quarter, th...

Reconfigure investments to reap benefits in DTC

    Investing for tax benefits under the new Direct Taxes Code ( DTC ) will be different in several ways from what taxpayers are familiar with right now. This will require some reconfiguration in the nature of investments for the investor and they need to be ready to tackle the changes that will come about once the new DTC is implemented from financial year 2012-13.One area of interest for most taxpayers is the manner in which they can extract the maximum tax benefit. Here is a look at the situation and also how it changes from the existing position. Basic deduction: At present, there is a deduction of Rs 1 lakh that is available for an individual when they make investments under specified areas such as provident fund, public provident fund, national savings certificates, equity linked savings scheme and insurance premium, among others. This benefit is available under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. This has been replaced by a new Section 68 under the DTC where there is a deduct...

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...
