Sundaram World Brand Fund – New Fund Offer

Indian investors can access global companies like Apple, Nestle, Microsoft and HSBC through the series

 

Warren Buffet was quite fond of companies with highly visible consumer brands such as Coca Cola, Gillette and P&G. And some of the most well-known global brands come from foreign companies listed in the US and Europe. It is quite difficult for Indian investors to buy such overseas stocks directly through their broker.

 

Now, Sundaram Mutual Fund has flagged off World Brand Fund, a 3-year close end equity fund which will invest in the companies that own the world's leading brands. Companies that own leading consumer brands sell their products across geographies, product categories and target consumers all around the world and so are resilient to market fluctuations. Brands form an integral part of our day to day lives and this fund aims to benefit from their prospects by assessing the sustainable competitive advantage of the companies which own these brands. Investors who aspire to make companies like Google, Nestle, Microsoft, Apple, HSBC a part of their portfolio are targeted by this fund. The fund's investment thesis is that the demand for these aspirational brands will increase with rising urbanisation, especially in emerging markets.

 

The fund will not only look at each stock's market value but also consider the market share and brand equity of each portfolio company. It is easier for stronger brands to build a competitive moat and sustain pricing power across economic cycles.

The AMC will launch three schemes under this series with durations of between 18 months and 60 months. The first offer opens on November 20 and closes on Dec 2, 2014, with a minimum corpus of R10 crore as target. These are closed ended schemes where the first fund has a three year investment horizon and the second one comes with a five year lock-in period.

 

While international funds were the flavour a year ago, it is mainly India focussed funds which have been flagged off in the last three months as the Sensex surged to new highs. Seen in this context, the fund's investment strategy is somewhat contrarian. This international fund is being launched after a gap of three months. Investors must however note that overseas exposures carry currency risk. And given that this is a thematic fund and a close end one at that, exposures must be kept to a small proportion of the portfolio.

How to Decide your asset allocation with Mutual Funds?

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) How to Decide your asset allocation ? The funds that base their equity allocation on market valuation have given stable returns in the past. Pick these if you are a buy-and-forget investor. Small investors are often victims of greed and fear. When markets are rising, greed makes the small investor increase his exposure to stocks. And when stocks crash to low levels, fear makes him redeem his investments. But there are a few funds that avoid this risk by continuously changing the asset mix of their portfolios. Their allocation to equity is not based on the fund manager's outlook for the market, but on its valuations. Our top pick is the Franklin Templeton Dynamic PE Ratio Fund, a fund of funds that divides its corpus between two schemes from the same fund house-the...

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Debt Option

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Invest Online     The scheme aims to generate optimal returns consistent with moderate levels of risk. It will invest atleast 65 per cent of its assets in debt instruments with maturity of more than 1 year and the rest in money market instruments (including cash or call money and reverse repo) and debentures with maturity of less than 1 year. The exposure in government securities will generally not exceed 50 percent of the assets. The fund uses a mix of relatively low portfolio duration with active investments in higher-yielding corporate bonds. It does not take aggressive duration calls but tries to improve returns by cherry-picking corporate bonds. This is reflected in the fund's returns matching the category and benchmark for five years - at 8.4 per cent - but lagging behind the category during a raging bull market in bonds in the last one year. The fund has been a consistent but not chart-topping performer in the income category. Despite its ...

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...
