Foreign mutual funds' quit India movement continues as Morgan Stanley pulls out after two decades

 

After Fidelity last year, Morgan Stanley became the second global asset management major to give up on the Indian mutual fund business as HDFC Mutual Fund announced that it had acquired all eight fund schemes of the American company.

In a press statement, HDFC MF CEO Milind Barve said, "HDFC Mutual Fund has acquired a portfolio of strong performing domestic mutual fund schemes from Morgan Stanley and this acquisition is another step towards expanding our mutual fund customer base. We look forward to welcoming the investors in the eight schemes of Morgan Stanley Mutual Fund into the HDFC family." HDFC has paid Rs 170 crore for the schemes.

 

However, Morgan Stanley's India fund business was tiny in every context. Despite trying for close to two decades, its Rs 3,300-odd crore asset base was barely 0.3 per cent of the Indian fund industry's size. It's also tiny compared to acquirer HDFC Mutual Fund's Rs 1.03 lakh crore asset base and won't have a significant impact on its business.

 

In terms of quantitative impact, this is a minor acquisition. However, its qualitative impact will be considerable, reinforcing the impression that the Indian fund management business is increasingly unattractive for global players and that they do not see much of a future here.

Happy Investing!!

Should you Roll Over 1 year Fixed Maturity Plans?

The period between January and March typically sees an uptick in the launch of fixed maturity plans, or FMPs. Not this year. Instead, fund houses are busy rolling over or extending the tenure of their one- year FMPs launched last year to three years. Investors in one- year FMPs have a choice. Either redeem units or roll over to three years. If you exit now, your gains will be added to your income and taxed in line with your individual slab rate of 10, 20 or 30 per cent. If you stay invested for two more years, you pay 20 per cent tax with indexation benefit. Yields have softened in the past few months on expectations of a rate cut. If the central bank continues its soft monetary stance, yields are likely to fall further. In such a scenario, it makes sense for investors, particularly those in the 30 per cent tax bracket, to roll over their investments and lock in at a higher yield now. In a surprise move, the Reserve Bank of India cut repo rate by 25 basis

Mutual Fund Review: IDFC Premier Equity Fund

  IDFC Premier Equity Fund, which falls under the presumed high risk group of mid- and small-cap schemes, can rely on astute and timely equity picks. These make it less vulnerable to fluctuations compared with others in the category   IDFC Premier Equity Fund is designed to invest in upcoming, but promising businesses available at cheap valuations, and hold on to these businesses until they reap desired returns.

Since inception, IDFC Premier Equity has been opened for l
