Axis Midcap Fund

 

This mid-cap fund has stolen the show in its category after being late to arrive on the scene. Launched in the sideways market of early 2011, it is among the top ten funds in its category on a three-year ranking. Its Value Research rating started out at 3 and has recently improved to 5-star. It is however early days yet to gauge its ability to protect against downside risk.

This fund's stock selection strategy is all about finding emerging blue-chips; the mid-cap stocks that are likely to transform into large-caps from its investment universe of about 200 companies. The fund doesn't mind paying higher valuations for companies that have this quality of scalability. Apart from return on equity and return on capital, this fund hunts for companies that can grow at exceptional rates of 20-25 per cent CAGR.

The market cap allocations since launch show that the fund has focused most of its energies on mid-cap stocks, making up for 55-70 per cent of the portfolio. Small-caps too have been sizeable, at 28-34 per cent in the last two years, with positions in large-cap stocks being minuscule at sub-10 per cent levels.

Says Pankaj Murarka, fund manager; "We firmly believe that in a high growth cycle, companies moving from mid-cap to large-cap can create enough value to shareholders and that is what we look for while identifying mid-cap companies. As investing in mid-cap has its unique risks, we try to focus more on larger mid-cap companies."

The fund's trailing returns make for good reading, with a healthy out-performance of both the category and benchmark over 3-month, 6-month, 1-year and 3-year time frames. Cumulatively, over a three year period, the fund has outpaced its benchmark by a good 13.8 per cent on a CAGR basis. While this fund has been a top ranker since its launch, its one-year return of about 44 per cent places it at the middle of the mid-cap category. While this return is by no means low, the fund's steadfast growth focus seems to have led it to trail value-oriented funds in this market move.

TDS Rate and Personal Account Number(PAN)

    The TDS rate doubles to 20% from 10% if you fail to mention your Personal Account Number   IF you run a glance through your pay slip, you will come across something called TDS, which is tax deduction at source. In most cases, the employer deducts this amount at the time of payment of salary itself and pays the total tax amount to the government on behalf of all the employees. If you are a self- employed or practicing professional s, you have to pay this amount yourself.    Tax deducted at source is one of the modes of income tax collection by the government. Under the income-tax laws, income tax at specified rates is required to be deducted while making certain payments.    The rate of deduction of tax at source on interest and rent payment is 10%.

Tax Planning: Income tax and Section 80C

In order to encourage savings, the government gives tax breaks on certain financial products under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Investments made under such schemes are referred to as 80C investments. Under this section, you can invest a maximum of Rs l lakh and if you are in the highest tax bracket of 30%, you save a tax of Rs 30,000. The various investment options under this section include:   Provident Fund (PF) & Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) Provident Fund is deducted directly from your salary by your employer. The deducted amount goes into a retirement account along with your employer's contribution. While employer's contribution is exempt from tax, your contribution (i.e., employee's contribution) is counted towards section 80C investments. You can also contribute additional amount through voluntary contributions (VPF). The current rate of interest is 8.5% per annum and interest earned is tax-free. Public Provident Fund (PPF) An account can be opened wi...

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...

Gold: It is safe & secure

RETURNS ON GOLD & ITS ETF’s RISE WHILE most of the popular asset classes are going through bad times, the yellow metal shines on. In fact, in the last one year, gold has given a return of more than 25% and currently trades at Rs 14,695 per 10 gm. Even gold exchange traded funds ( ETFs ) have appreciated substantially. Gold Gold Benchmark Exchange Traded Scheme ( BeES ) and Kotak Gold ETF have given more than 25% returns each in the last three months. Even as the equity markets have taken a hit with the Sensex losing around 46% in the last one year and real estate prices also witness a correction, investors’ preference has shifted to safe havens such as gold. On an average, most of the diversified equity mutual funds have fallen and real estate developers are offering discounts. Thus gold remains the safest bet. The appreciation in the gold prices is mainly due to its safe haven status. The key reason for gold to go up is lack of other investment opportunity. There is also a risk in...
