LargeCap Funds

Posted by : Guest

Dear Ashal,
Thanks. Being in 30, I may not go for a balanced fund right now. Perhaps I may consider Speciality Fund and also DWS Investment Opp Fund. But can you advise about the 3rd Large Cap fund to choose. As posted earlier, I already have DSP 100 and Sundaram Select Focus.
Regards,
Long Term Investor.

Stop SIP Application Form Format

Posted by : ashport

Dear mikhilji No there is no such forms as far as I know...you have to write to AMC giving details of your folio no and scheme for which you want to stop SIP and from which month onwards you want to stop. However please note that AMCs take almost one month for stopping SIP.

dear Guest

your portfolio seems to be okay, however to make it more diversified you can add :
1)Templeton India Equity Income Fund...a Speciality Fund which invests partly in Foreign Equities
2)DSPML World Gold Fund
Happy investing

thanks

Right now I\\`ve got the monthly SIP of
1) Sundaram Select Focus - 5000
2) DSPML Top 100 - 5000
3) HDFC Growth - 5000
4) Reliance Growth - 3500
5) DSPML Tiger - 3500
6) SBI Magnum Contra - 3000
Is there any point in adding one more large cap? Do I need to add any more funds to make it perfect? Experts, kindly advise.

Stop SIP Application Form Format

Posted by : m_i_khilji

Few days back, I asked about my SIP in Franklin Blue Chip Fund, and was suggested by experts to stop the same.
I sent email to HDFC to stop the same and they replied that it is stopped.
But this month also SIP for same fund is done. So, what I think is that an application is MUST for same.
Please suggest me, is there any specific format for "An application to stop SIP"?
If yes, then what should be the format?
So that, I can send the same to HDFC to submit to the AMC Registrar and get the SIP stopped.

Dear MIKhilji, A plain exercise 'll solve ur problems. Check the past 6 months performance of ur existing funds with recommended funds. If performance of ur existing funds is at least in line with the market (in terms of fall), just hold ur existing funds but start new SIP in recommended funds. If ur funds r below market, switch it immediately.

Thanks

Exit Load in Case of Switch / Exit

Posted by : m_i_khilji

Months back, I posted message asking help regarding my portfolio.
I was suggested a few switches. But, since, I invetsed in Jan-2008 and a lot of funds for which Switch is suggested has exit loads if I Exit or Switch before 1 or 2 years. Should I still go ahead for Swithces or shall I wait to avoid exit load?

21 Aug 2008 20:45

Dear MIKhilji, To stop an ongoing sip, written request is necessary. some AMCs just accept a plain application whereas some have specific forms for stop of SIP. So intimate Fr. AMC with a written request.

thanks

At this time commodity market is booming like oil and gold amd metels, so if we see in next few months we can stay in commodity and related funds....

Dear giridhari, first decide ur financial journey's destination (for what purpose u r saving, ur aim, ur time frame for the same, the risk u can take etc.). Then only ask where u should invest.

On a general basis, plz. don't mix up ur Insurance & Investment need.

If u need insurance opt Pure Term cover.

If u want to invest for ur financial goals, invest in MFs, Bank FDs, PPF, PO schemes etc. as per ur choice, returns, goal time frame & risk tolerance level.

Thanks

Thanks

Dear radnar33, as per ur recent info, the monthly returns from ur company deposits r 2.31% or annual compounded 31.6%. It is a healthy return by any means. keep it as it is. make sure such high returns r safe also as i'm unable to understand how a company can offer such high returns when money is available relatively cheap. Stick to invest till age 60. If u do increase ur Eq. MF sip by 8K rs. from sept. & 7K more by oct. ur total SIP amount 'll be appx. 24500 Rs. per month. thru this increased SIP amount u have very fair chance to get ur 1C corpus by the end of 7 years.

As the above matters r clear now, here goes my version for ur MF portfolio restructuring.

DSPML Equity - DR – SIP 2000 3.33 OK
DSPML Opportunities - DR 3.40 switch to DSP ML Top 100 for safety of large cap
DSPML T.I.G.E.R - 3.40 as ur age of 53, sectoral funds should not be there, switch to DSP Top 100 & Eq. in equal proportion.
Fidelity Equity - 1.63 not performing well, switch to HDFC Top 200
FIBCF 4.48 Switch to Temp. India Eq. Income fund
Franklin India FlexiCap Fund 7.02 not performing well, switch to DWS Inv. opportunity with Liq. + STP Route
Franklin India Prima Plus - 3.98 not performing , switch to HDFC Top 200
Franklin India Prima Plus 2.04 same as above
HDFC - Equity – SIP 1000 7.75 stop current sip & start sip in HDFC Growth
HDFC Top 200 - 1.37 Hold & increase exposure as per above recommendation
HSBC - Equity - SIP 1000 1.83 continue
ICICI Infra Struc -SIP 1000 0.27 same as advised for TIGER
Kotak 30 - SIP 1000 0.27 continue
Kotak Opprtunities - 2.20 continue
SBI-Magnum Contra-SIP 1000 1.09 continue
Reliance Equity Oppor 0.82 switch to Rel. Gr.
Reliance Growth - 2.58 continue
Reliance Vision - SIP 1000 6.39 switch to Rel. gr.
SundaramCapex Oppor-SIP 1500 6.43 avoid being a thematic/sectoral fund & switch to Kotak opportunity/DWS opportunity
Sundaram- Energy Oppor 3.40 same as above
Sundaram Select Focus - 6.46 continue & invest more
Sundaram Select Mid Cap 9.51 not performing well. switch in Rel. Gr. & in Sund. select Focus equally
TempletonIndiaEquityIncome 7.64 continue & invest more as recommended above
Tata Infrastructure Fund 1.36 same as for TIGER
Tata Equity Opportunities 3.40 Siwtch in DWS/Kotak opportunity

After all the above switching & restructuring, ur portfolio 'll have following funds with an over all large cap bias

1. DSP Top 100
2. HDFC Top 200
3. Sund. select Focus
4. Kotak 30
5. DSP Eq.
6. DWS Inv. opp.
7. Kotak inv. opp.
8. Rel. Growth
9. Temp. India Eq. Income
10. HSBC Equity
11. HDFC Growth

Although the no. of funds (11) still on higher side but more manageable in comparison to ur current portfolio. For all these funds use dividend pay out plan & invest ur dividends in debt as per ur choice as & when u get it. thru periodic investments of these dividends in Debt (bank FDs, Debt funds, FMPs, Company deposits etc.) ur over all portfolio 'll be restructured automatically between Eq. & debt.

Plz. feel free to ask if u need more help.

Thanks

Dear friend, Normally an investor should have following break up in terms of total no. of MF plans.

3 Large cap
1 Mid cap
2 Multicap, diversified, opportunity
1 sectoral
1 balanced
1 speciality fund (here i mean gold funds or global funds to reduce over all risk).

total 8-9 funds r sufficient in any portfolio for a long term growth. the large cap funds should form the core of ur portfolio, hence the over all exposure to this category should be around 50-60%
Mid cap 10%
Multicap - 15-20%
Sectoral - 5-10% but zero before 3-4 years of retirement.
Balanced - initially zero if investors age is in 20s & should increase with age & by the time the person retires, it should be around 40%.
Speciality - 10% of ur initial portfolio.

Plz. note i have not used the word Ideal, as nothing can be ideal for everybody. U may take ur own break up & invest accordingly to reach ur goal post.

Thanks

Ashal
