Principal Tax Savings Fund - Invest Online

The fund seeks to build a high quality growth oriented portfolio to provide long term capital appreciation through investment primarily in equities.

 

The fund has seen many ups and downs in its eighteen-year history, but it has outperformed its benchmark by 9 per cent in the past one year and 15 per cent in the last three years. It is among the top three funds on the basis of its three-year performance. It was a good performer in its initial years, but became a laggard between 2008 to 2011. However, it topped the charts in 2012 and became a consistent performer since then.

The consistent performance in the last few years could be the result of the fund increasing the share of large-cap stocks in its portfolio. It had 65 per cent exposure in mid- and small-cap stocks in 2008. The exposure is down to 40 per cent currently, but its large-cap holding is still below its peers. This makes the fund suitable only to investors with a higher risk appetite.

The fund employs fundamental analysis to build a portfolio across major industries and sectors. Stocks are selected on the basis of management quality, financial strength, distinctive and sustainable competitive advantage and growth prospects. The focus is on companies with strong presence in their businesses and a reasonable track record. The fund avoids stocks that are below the threshold for market capitalisation of BSE 200 stocks. It also shuns companies with poor business models, fundamentals and unproven track records. The recent performance of the fund is quite impressive and aggressive investors can consider investing in the fund for extra returns.

Debt Mutual Fund Dividends are Taxable

DDT is deducted when a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity and balanced fund dividends are tax-free The AMC is correct to deduct the dividend distribution tax (DDT) as it is mandated by tax laws. DDT in mutual funds is deducted every time a non-equity fund declares dividends. Equity fund and balanced fund dividends are tax-free . It is possible that you have invested in a non-equity fund for the first time or have received the dividend under a non-equity fund for the first time. That is why this is the first occasion when you have come across DDT.   The rate at which non-equity schemes deduct DDT has also gone up after the July 2014 budget. This is due to a change in calculation methodology. Earlier, if the fund has to declare a dividend of R 100, it used to make a provision for R 128.3, paying R 28.3 to the taxman and distributing the balance to the investor. This allowed the investor to bear less tax since the effective tax rate was 22.07 per ce...

DTC Proposes To Do Away With Special Provision That Allows NRIs Liberalised Duration Of Stay In Country      THE new direct taxes code could bring a large number of global Indians under the tax net, as it does away with a provision that allowed individuals to escape tax in any country citing double tax avoidance.    The new legislation, introduced in Parliament on Monday, says an individual shall be a resident of India in any financial year if he is in the country for more than 59 days in that year, and has been has been India for more 365 days in four preceding financial years.
