SIP Route Best For Risk Averse Investors





As markets continue their upward march, review portfolio periodically & give it time to grow

Over the last few weeks, the two leading stock market indices BSE sensex and NSE nifty -have been hitting new life-highs almost on a regular basis. Rising from about 22,000 in early March, the sensex hit a life high near 25,400 mark on May 16 and, after some profit taking in the days following that, is again on a northward journey. Along with the rally market volatility has also increased. This is making a lot of investors jittery and confusing them about whether to buy, or to sit quiet and expect the market to come down a bit and then buy .

For investors who are not well-experienced to ride through volatile markets, this is a tough call. In this article, we will look at two aspects: Is the market really at an all-time high from a valuation perspective?


And even if there is room for re t a i l i nve s t o r s t o buy even at current valuations, how should they go about the same?


Valuation-based approach In terms of relative valuations, for example earnings per share (EPS) and price-to earnings (P/E) ratio, the markets are not near their all-time high levels yet. In 2007-08, markets were at 21,000 and the sensex EPS was at around Rs 800. Today, it is well above Rs 1,300.

 

So from a valuation perspective, sensex in 2007 was high but today sensex is trading at a P/E of 18 which is reasonable. Also, we are in the upswing of an economic cycle and overall things can only improve from hereon. Better earnings by corporate India could lead the indices to even higher levels from here, so the markets are not at their all-time highs in reality investment plan) is the best route. They should go for an SIP in a nifty fund.


It's not about the level, but the right way to invest. Those who can take some amount of risk can invest -directly or through the mutual fund route -in infrastructure and banking sectors.

Top broking house executives say that in the infrastructure sector, both the physical (power, roads, railways, airports, ports, etc) and social infrastructure sectors (hospitals, education, etc) are turning out to be big bets now.
Among banks, the large ones have a better chance to gain more compared to the smaller ones, they add.

Whether you are the risk averse type or the risk-taker, as an investor you should also keep a close watch on your portfolio. The new government's policies will take about 9-12 months to be implemented and so one should review the portfolio only after 12 months.

Another aspect that investors often forget while investing is that there should always be a goal for investing. If, for instance, you want to invest for a goal which you want to accomplish in the near future, then it is best to go for fixed income instruments such as debt funds or FDs.


But if the goal is 10-15 years away, equities are the best bet. Align your investments to your financial goals and make the most out of it.

Be patient It is also important for investors to be patient with their investments. Time and again, it has been seen that retail investors do not make money from capital markets because we overestimate the money we can make in a year and underestimate what we can make in 10 years.

It has been proven on so many counts that equities are far better than any other instrument, but still we fail to make money out of it. What we forget is no matter how great a thing is, some things just take time. Where to invest? And how?

Birla SunLife Manufacturing Equity Fund

The Make in India program was launched by Prime Minister Naredra Modi in September 2014 as part of a wider set of nation-building initiatives. It was devised to transform India into a global design and manufacturing hub. The primary motive of the campaign is to encourage multinational as well domestic companies to manufacture their products in India. This would create more job opportunities, bring high-quality standards and attract capital along with technological investment to bring more foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country.   Why India as the next manufacturing destination?   The rising demand in India along with the multinational's desire to diversify their production to include low-cost plants in countries other than China, can help India's manufacturing sector to grow and create millions of jobs. In the words of our Honourable Prime Minister- Mr. Narendra Modi, India offers the 3 'Ds' for business to thrive— democracy,...

Total Returns Index brings out real Equity Funds Performers

From February, equity mutual funds have to change their benchmarks to account for dividend payments. Until now, funds used price-based benchmarks alone. TRI or total return indices assume that dividend payouts are reinvested back into the index. What this does is lift the overall index returns, because dividends get compounded. For example, the Sensex TRI index will consider dividend payouts of its constituent companies while the Nifty50 TRI index will consider dividends of its constituents. Using TRI indices as benchmarks comes on the argument that an equity funds earn dividends on the stocks in its portfolio, which they use to buy more stocks. Therefore, using an index that also considers dividend reinvestment would be a more appropriate benchmark. Shrinking outperformance With a stiffer benchmark, it is obvious that the margin by which an equity fund outperforms the benchmark would shrink. Rolling one-year returns from 2013 onwards, the average margin by which largecap funds out...

Stock Review: Havells

HAVELLS India's stock performance has been muted in the past three months, in line with the weak broader market. But, given the turnaround in its overseas subsidiary and the launch of new products in its consumer durable business, the company's stock may undergo a re-rating.    Havells is India's leading consumer electrical goods company, with consolidated sales of . 5,527 crore in the past four quarters. Its wholly-owned subsidiary Sylvania, which makes lighting and fixtures, has established brands in European, Latin American and Asian markets. Sylvania repre sented nearly half of the company's consolidated revenues in the first half of FY11.    Sylvania's poor financials hit Havells' consolidated performance in FY10. But, this has changed in the cur rent fiscal. Havells has reduced fixed costs of Sylvania by exiting from unprofitable businesses and outsourcing manufacturing to low-cost locations such as India and China. In the September 2010 quarter, Sylv...

How to generate a UAN Online

Best SIP Funds Online   In order to make Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accounts portable, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had launched the facility of Universal Account Number (UAN ) in 2014. Having a UAN is now mandatory if you have an EPF account and are contributing to it. So far, you got this number from your employer and every time you changed jobs, you had to furnish this number to the new employer.  However, in order to make it easier for you to get a UAN , and without your employer's intervention, the EPFO now allows you to go online and generate a UAN on your own. This facility can be used by freshers, or new employees, who are joining the workforce as well as by employees who have older EPF accounts but do not have a UAN as yet. As a new employee, you can simply generate a UAN and provide the number to your employer at the time of joining, when you need to fill up forms for your EPF contribution. As per a circula...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Equity

    Despite high churn, Reliance Regular Savings Equity has managed to fetch good returns   In its short history, this one has made its mark. Though its annual and trailing returns are amazing, the fund started off on a lousy note (last two quarters of 2005). It managed to impress in 2006 and was turning out to be pretty average in 2007, till Omprakash Kuckian took over in November 2007 and wasted no time in changing the complexion of the portfolio. Exposure to Construction shot up to 28 per cent with almost 21 per cent cornered by Pratibha Industries and Madhucon Projects . Exposure to Engineering was yanked up (18.50%) while Financial Services lost its prime slot (dropped to 6.69%) and Auto was dumped. That quarter (December 2007), he delivered 54.66 per cent (category average: 25.70%).   When the market collapsed in 2008, thankfully the fund did not plummet abysmally. But even its high cash allocations could not cushion the fall which hovered around the category average. ...
