you want that invested money after 10 years. why do you go to children funds which are less equity below 50% (debt). in 10 years of time horizon you may go to equity fund schmes. they give much return than children schemes.but you must exit in correct time. i expect that pcs pune also agree with me.

Dear akar,

All of your Investments are in Better Performing Funds.

Templeton Equity Fund deserves Investment on following Merits inspite of its Average Performance.

LOWEST P.E. & P.B. of Shares invested.

App.20-30% investment in Foreign Equity is Better Diversification.

Long Reputation of Fund Manager & Fund House.

If you want High Returns,this fund is not of that TYPE.

If you are Confortable with above Average Returns with more Diversification & Lesser RISK, you may continue SIP in this Fund.

I am not Discontinuing my SIP in this Fund For Time Being inspite of Recent Decline.

You may Discontinue SIP when Market starts going up or you are not Comfortable with this Fund.

P.C.Sharma

How is Templeton India Eq. Income doing?

Posted by : akar

Is it worth continuing SIP of my 3.5% of asset allocation in MF?
My idea behind the investiment is to have a Global exposure in my portfolio. If it`s not worth, where do you suggest redirecting this % of investment.

My other allocations are
Large Cap - 68% (HDFC Top 200, DSP BR Top 100, Sundaram Select Focus)
Mid Cap - 12% (Rel. Growth)
Sectoral - 4.5% (ICICI Infra)
Debt - 12% (Kotak Flexi Debt)

Thanks

I have 2 sons, 8 years old (Twins). In another 10 years time, they would be entering college. I seek your advice on how to invest Rs. 2500/- each (Total Rs.5000/-) per month so that I may get the maximium possible corpus at that time. Which Mutual Fund schemes should I look at with that time frame in mind?

Addressed to  pcspune,  wadia

if we choose the mutual fund scheme which is well performed in the bearmarket. every fund is well performed in the bull market.but the best fund is one whcih is well performed in the bearmarket also. how is select a good? here is some parameters to choose a good fund.it will help you.

1. standard deviation.
2. beeta
3. r square
4. sharp ratio
5. sortino ratio
6. treynor ratio
7. jenson`s alpha. in addttion to these the fund size, the fund manger`s performance.

if the s.d is greater value then the risk is greater and it indicates the volatality of the fund.
beeta would indicates the volatality against the bench mark index. if beeta is greater than 1 means the fund is more volatile than bench mark index.
r square is describes the level of association between funds volatality and market risk.
high high sharp ratio indicates lower risk and lower sharp ratio indicates higher risk.
sortino ratio considers only the down side volatality.
treynor is grater value indicates the better the funds performance.
positive alpha suggest strong performance and negative alpha suggest weak performance.

see all these parameters and choose a good fund. don`t depend on others to choose a fund. take your own decession.o.k bye.,

How To Track MFs?

Posted by : morningdew

How To Track MFs?
Investing in your chosen mutual fund (MF) schemes is just half the job done. You also need to track your investments to get an idea of their real value
What to Track

Things like performance, fund’s pedigree, fund manager movements and activities are just some of the things you need to keep a track of. Not daily, but periodically and consistently.

How to Track Factsheets

Factsheets contain vital statistics of your scheme such as its performance compared to its benchmark index, portfolio and credit quality. Some MFs also regularly send newsletters to investors. Most MFs send factsheets every month to agents, as sending to all investors every month is expensive.

Half-yearly Reports

All MFs have to publicly disclose half-yearly results and portfolios twice a year. These results are published in national newspapers. These contain half-yearly financial results as well scheme portfolios of all the schemes of an MF. You may skip the financial results as most of it is verbose and technical and go straight to your scheme’s performance and portfolio.

Annual Report

If you’ve missed the half-yearly results in newspapers then MFs are mandated to courier annual results to all their unitholders. Typically, the annual result that has been mailed to you would contain details of only your scheme. Again, skip the financial results if you can’t make a head or tail of it and jump straight to performance and portfolio.

Newspapers and Websites

Financial newspaper carry new asset values (NAVs) of all schemes daily (general newspapers carry selective schemes’ details). Latest NAVs can also be seen on the website .amfiindia. com. MF websites also have daily updated NAVs and scheme details. Websites of several independent financial advisors are also useful.;
