Can it get any WORSE - Global Meltdown !

At this point it`s pretty foolish to rule anything out, including the possibility of a crash - if there is anything more left to it yet !
Possibly the only thing to be optimistic about is that it`s always darkest before the dawn and it`s ALREADY very dark right now. I can hardly see anything beyond !

Dear Sharmaji,
Thanks for throwing light on the subject. If, as you said, all Mutual Fund companies start offering Insurance covers, it will be great for Investors. I hope it happens soon.

Fund houses to scrap insurance cum MF products

Dear Shrikant,
IRDA has no authority to BAN or ALLOW Mutual Fund Houses to offer Free Life Insurance Covers to MF Investors because Group Insurance is offered by IRDA Approved Insurance Companies ( which happens to be SISTER CONCERNS of MF HOUSES).
The Decision to Discontinue the FREE Life Insurance cover was taken by Life Insurance COUNCIL which is a sort of UNION / ASSOCIATION of ALL INSURANCE Companies.
I Expect that in future other MF Companies like HDFC,SBI,HSBC, ICICI,
Canbank, Bharti AXA, TATA, SAHARA etc. may also offer FREE Life Insurance Covers to MF SIP Investors.
This will be EXCELLENT for Future for GROWTH of Mutual Funds.

Hi Ravinder,
The method you are asking is possible. I understand that you want to make multiple purchases (SIP across three dates of same month & same Fund).
Option 1: You can registered for multiple SIP based on the Dates, just filling out forms with reference to your existing folio number
Option 2: If not allowed with option 1 go for multipl folio numbers and you can later combine the folio..
Hope this helps..
Thanks..

Hi All,
Please find the details as follows:
Age -- 24 years
No dependetns.
I new into investment world :)
PORTFOLIO:
1) DSPML TOP 100 Equity: One SIP Rs 1000 Monthly (First week of month).
Have executed three SIP till now.
2) Kotak Opportunities: One SIP Rs 1000 Monthly (First week of every month).
Have executed three SIP till now.
3) Pricipal personal tax saver: One SIP Rs 2000 monthly (First week of every month.)
Have executed three SIP till now.
4) Sundaram TAX Saver: One SIP Rs 1000 monthly (Last week of each month)
First SIP will be paid this month (October, 2008)
Now, my queries are:-
I want to have multiple SIPs (4 per month of Rs 500 each) in Principal persinal tax saver to average out the unit cost. I am investing through Kotak Securties so i have requeted them many times to arrange for such plan and they in turn reply me that it is not possible. They further suggest that i can go for PPT- Growth & PPT- Dividend with one SIP of Rs 1000 in each.
Please advise me how to go ahead with this.
Also I would like to know any recommendations/modifications for my above investment plan.
Thank you all for your valuable time

Dear Raj,
If they ban ULIPs, they will be losing more than 90% of their Income, that is the reason they are after the Mutual funds.
But, thankfully, IRDA has allowed the Mutual Funds to continue offering Insurance.

Dear Sen,
Being a Senior Citizen, you should have to invest in Good Large Cap Funds and not Sector/Theme Funds and not even Opportunity Funds, as these funds take lot of time in giving you returns.
But, first of all, let me assure you that DSP ML is now DSP Black Rock, as Meriyll Lynch People had already their Asset Managemnt Company Worldwide long back. DSP had not yet changed the name of the company, which they have now done. Also, in India, all Mutual Funds are run by Trust where even a change in Company which forms the Trust to run the Mutual funds has NO say in the Day to Day Affairs of the AMC.
Coming to your investment, your investments seem to have been done in the Peak of the bull market and hence, seeing such a HUGE erosion. The Best option for you is to "JUST STAY INVESTED" and hold on for now.
The funds are good except for DSP Tiger which is a Infrastructure Fund and does not look promising even on a three year horizon. You can switch the same to DSPML Equity fund and stay invested for some time till the markets stabilise and then take a call accordingly.
Best of luck,
Srikanth Shankar Matrubai.

This was expected. IRDA is wise. They know that if the Mutual Funds are forced to abandon their Free Life Insurance Cover Combo, then the pressure will start building on the Insurance Companies to either Stop ULIPs completely or Bring down the commission Charges from the Sky High 35% (average) to the paltry 2.25% Commission being charged right now by Mutual Funds.

The following is the statement by S.B.Mathur, Secretary General of Life Insurance Council.
Quote
It was mutually decided by all the life insurers that insurance will no longer be bundled with any investment or savings product since, in the long term it flouts guidelines prescribed by IRDA.
Unquote
So are they also planning to ban ULIPs since they are also investments + insurance bundled together??

I recived a small Publication from SBI MUTUAL Funds last month.It is an EYE OPENER for Investors.
It contains SIP & SWP Returns of SBI CONTRA & other 2 Funds during 3 years.
If somebody Invested Rs.20 Lacs in SBI CONTRA Fund on 1st July,2005(3 years Ago), & Opted for SWP of Rs.25000 Per month(Recieved 9 Lacs in 3 Years),the Fund Value was over Rs. 31 Lacs on
1st July 2008(after 3 Years). It means his returns are 9 lacs + 11 Lacs = 20 Lacs.
Detail study shows that 20,00,000-25000
per month grew to 36 LACS in May,2006 &
then Declined to 29 LACS in June 2008.
FV again GREW to 37 Lacs in Feb.2007 & then Declined to 32 Lacs in April,2007.
This amount Again GREW to 55 Lacs in Jan.2008 & then Declined to 31 Lacs in July 2008.
Thus GAINS of 36 Lacs were WIPED off during 3 Market CRASHES.
If somebody had Implemented the Asset Allocation theory ( Rebalancing after Every 10% Growth in Equities), his Returns Could have been over 200% instead of just 100%.
Although TIMING the Market is IMOSSIBLE
but Profit Booking is NOT CRIME.
PROFIT BOOKING is Absolutely necessary in Long Term Investments also.
Some Fund HOUSES ( Reliance,JM, UTI, Kotak etc.)offer TRIGGER Facility
( Automatic Profit Booking when NAV Appreciates by certain Pre-Determined percentage ).Another Simple Method is Dividend Payout.
Intelligent Investors should learn from Mistakes & IMPROVE the Investment
SKILLS regularly instead of following the AGE OLD Theories ( mostly BORROWED from WEST) of so called Finsancial Advisors.

Dear boysi,
This is most Appropriate Time for Investment in Equity Funds if your Time Horizon is 2-3 YEARS or MORE.
You may Consider Investment in any one or more Funds by SIP / STP as mentioned below:
DSPML Top 100 Equity Fund
HDFC Growth /Top 100 Fund
Franklin PRIMA PLUS
IDFC Imperial Equity Fund
If your are afraid of short Term Volatality, DSPML Balance Fund / UTI MAHILA UNIT Scheme is GOOD Options.
No need to Invest in DEBT Funds.
