Scheme Name Change after Recategorisation

When investors sit to review their mutual fund schemes, they will notice some of the schemes that they held have merged or their names have changed.

1. Why have names of some mutual fund schemes changed?

Names of some equity and debt mutual fund schemes have changed as fund houses align them to comply with the directives of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). As per the mandate, a fund house can offer 10 types of equity funds, 16 categories of bond schemes, and 6 categories of hybrid funds. In addition to this, they can also have index funds, fund of funds and other solution based schemes.

2. What is the outcome of this SEBI ruling?

Based on this mandate by the regulator, fund houses have completed the exercise of re-categorisation of their existing open-ended equity mutual fund schemes. Consequently investors will notice names of some schemes have changed, while some have merged.

3. What should investors do now?

This exercise by fund houses has come to an end. Investors will now have to see the impact of this on their portfolio and readjust them in line with their asset allocation. For example, if an investor holds a large-cap fund which post reclassification becomes a large and mid cap fund, could see his large cap allocation go down and mid-cap go up. Many mutual funds have just changed or altered the name to comply with the regulatory requirement. In such a case one could stay put in the scheme. Financial planners believe investors should not rush to make changes to their portfolios immediately. They should also keep in mind the taxation impact and exit load impact before rushing to make changes to their portfolio. As funds move to the defined categories, merge schemes, investors will have to see the overall impact on their equity and debt portfolios. They will have to recalculate their exposure to large-cap, mid-cap or multi-cap schemes and decide whether they need to make any changes to tune their portfolio in line with the new classification.

How to gauge the risk profile of your mutual fund portfolio?

MUTUAL funds are considered to be an investment option for those who do not generally devote a lot of time to monitoring and managing their portfolios. Investors experience both good as well as tough times as far as mutual fund investments are concerned. But while evaluating the portfolio of their equity mutual fund holdings there are a few points that one should check to know about the level of risk that they are facing. Often there are situations where there is a higher risk than what was estimated initially. Here are a few ways to evaluate various risk levels. Individual holding exposure : The portfolio of the equity fund where one has invested or plans to invest needs to be scrutinised to see whether the risk levels are such that could lead to a larger volatility in the holdings.

Stick to Good Fund Manager who Can Multiply Your Investment

A manager may be the difference between the best and worst funds. Here's how you can find the right one    Does a mutual fund manager make a difference to your investment? The answer may not be as easy as you think, since most best-performing mutual funds have moved away from individualistic fund management to process-driven methods, limiting the scope of an individual's role in investment decisions. In fact, many fund managers would speak at length about how the "system" their fund house has in place makes their task of picking stocks easy even though it restricts their freedom. Still, the question is important, especially after recent reports that the Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi ) may ask fund managers to disclose to investors their track record of managing money. Let us take a look at the universe of large-cap funds over the past five years. According to Value Research, an independent mutual fund tracking firm, the topper in the category is DSP...
