Launched on May 29, 1998, UTI MNC Fund has been consistently ranked CRISIL Fund Rank 1 since June 2011 under the Diversified Equity category. The fund has been in the top 30 percentile of CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking (CRISIL Fund Rank 1 or 2) for the past 13 quarters.

The fund, managed by Swati Kulkarni, had average assets under management (AUM) of ₹ 292 crore for the quarter ended March.

Investment objectives

The fund aims at creating value through long- term capital growth by investing predominantly in equities of large- cap and mid- cap multinational corporations ( MNCs) across diverse sectors. The fund has maintained an average equity exposure of 96 per cent in the past three years; out of which, 62 per cent has been in large cap stocks and 38 per cent in small and mid- cap stocks.

Performance analysis

 

The fund has outperformed the benchmark ( CNX MNC Index) and the category ( represented by the Diversified Equity Funds under CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking) over two, three, five, seven and 10 years. During the one- year time frame, the fund outperformed the category but marginally underperformed the index.

The fund has outperformed the benchmark during all market phases. During the bull phase of 2003- 07, the fund gave annualised 43 per cent returns, compared with the benchmark's 35 per cent. During the sub- prime crisis ( January 2008March 2009), the fund gave negative annualised returns of 33 per cent, in line with the benchmark's. Post sub- prime crisis, the fund gave superior annualised returns of 56 per cent compared with the benchmark's 49 per cent. In the recent period ( June 2013- April 2014) as well, the fund outperformed the benchmark by giving three per cent excess absolute return.

A monthly systematic investment plan (SIP) of ₹ 1,000 for 10 years in this fund would be worth ₹ 2.78 lakh today ( on a principal investment of ₹ 1.20 lakh), thereby generating annualised returns of 16.23 per cent. The same investment plan in the benchmark would have created a corpus of ₹ 2.35 lakh, generating annualised returns of 13.10 per cent.

The fund has done well on risk parameters. It ( 12.27 per cent) was less volatile than the benchmark ( 18.32 per cent) over three years ended April 4. The Sharpe Ratio, a measure of the fund's risk- adjusted returns, is superior (0.84) compared with the benchmark (0.31). The Jenson's Alpha, a measure of the fund's riskadjusted returns over the benchmark, is 7.11 per cent.

Portfolio analysis

The fund is concentrated at the stock as well as at the sector level when compared to the category. In the past three years, the fund has held 30 stocks on an average vis- à- vis the category's 46 stocks. Also, the fund's average exposure to the top five companies was 31 per cent compared with the category's average of 28 per cent. At the sector level, the fund's average exposure to the top five industries was 67 per cent, higher than the category's average of 58 per cent. The fund has highest exposure to consumer non- durables (exposure at 29.40 per cent) followed by pharmaceutical ( 13.62 per cent) and automobiles ( 11 per cent). The fund remains overexposed to high performing sectors such as consumer non- durables, auto, pharmaceuticals and auto ancillaries to the extent of 21.50 per cent, 5.61 per cent, 5.23 per cent and 4.76 per cent respectively over the category, which has worked in its favour. The consumer non- durables ( represented by the CNX FMCG Index) and pharmaceutical ( CNX Pharma Index) industries have shown annual growth of 25.30 per cent and 18.91 per cent, respectively, whereas the auto industry ( represented by the CNX Auto Index) grew by 14.52 per cent in the past three years.

Further, the fund is underexposed to the banking and petroleum products sectors to the extent of 14.50 per cent and 2.93 per cent, respectively. This has helped the fund escape a fall in performance as the banking sector ( CNX Bank Index) has given flat annualised returns of 2.87 per cent and the S& P BSE Oil & Gas Index has lost 2.52 per cent. During the same period, the CNX MNC Index ( benchmark) grew by 10.45 per cent.

In the past 36 months, the fund has retained 84 per cent of its average portfolio exposure. Stocks such as Eicher Motors, Hindustan Unilever and Glaxo Smithkline Consumer Healthcare returned 64.22 per cent, 28.22 per cent and 24.15 per cent, respectively, over the same time frame.

Mutual Fund Reivew: Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative

Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative has numbers on its side to prove its credibility… Don't be surprised to find this Fund of Funds ( FoF ) in our recommendations. It has earned its place. And despite the difference in the structure of the product, there is no arguing with the numbers.   Of the total 6 years of its existence, the fund has been among the top 10 funds in its category in four of them. Last year it put up an average show and the only year it underperformed its peers was in 2008.   One aspect to look at when investing in an FoF is the expense ratio. The expense ratio of an FoF is capped at a lower limit of 0.75 per cent (2.50% for an actively managed fund). However, the FoF not only has its own expense (though lower) but even the expense ratio of the fund it is investing into. Fortunately, the fund manager takes that into account. "Expense is one of the important criteria used for fund selection and is the main reason for our investment in BSL Ind...

Short-Term Investment Options in Mutual Funds

Mutual funds offer liquid funds and ultra short term funds in the debt category, which are suitable for short investment periods. Ultra short-term funds were earlier known as liquid plus funds. Liquid funds invest in money market instruments with a maturity of 91 days or less. However, there are no such restrictions for ultra short-term funds. Who should invest in these? These are open-ended schemes. Investors with a short investment horizon or with surplus cash and low risk appetite should look at these. These could include corporate as well as retail investors. Those interested in staying invested for less than 15 days can opt for liquid funds. Retail investors who want to remain invested for two-four months, can look at ultra short-term funds. The short duration for both liquid and ultra short-term funds shields them from any interest rate volatility.   What kind of returns do they offer? In terms of an investment period less than 15 days, these funds are comparable to a ba...
