Types-of-Mutual-Funds
Based on your goals and your investment horizon, Mutual Funds give you the option to invest your money across various asset classes
like equity, debt and gold. This allows you to diversify your investments and strive to reduce your portfolio risk.
Diversified Funds
These funds provide you the benefit of diversification by investing in companies spread across sectors and market capitalisation. They
are generally meant for investors who seek exposure across the market and do not want to be restricted to any particular sector.
Sector Funds
These funds invest primarily in equity shares of companies in a particular business sector or industry. While these funds may give
higher returns, they are riskier as compared to diversified funds. Investors need to keep a watch on the performance of those
sectors/industries and must exit at an appropriate time.
Index Funds
These funds invest in the same pattern as popular stock market indices like CNX Nifty Index and S&P BSE Sensex. The value of the
index fund varies in proportion to the benchmark index. NAV of such schemes rise and fall in accordance with the rise and fall in the
index. This would vary as compared with the benchmark owing to a factor known as tracking error.
These funds offer tax benefits to investors under the Income Tax Act, 2961. Opportunities provided under this scheme are in the form of
tax rebates under section 80 C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. They are best suited for long investors seeking tax rebate and looking for
long term growth.
Gilt Funds
These funds invest in Central and State Government securities and are best suited for the medium to long-term investors who are
averse to risk. Government securities have no default risk.
Balanced Funds
These funds invest both in equity shares and debt (fixed income) instruments and strive to provide both growth and regular income.
They are ideal for medium- to long-term investors willing to take moderate risks.
Income Funds, Gilt Funds and other dynamically managed debt funds
These funds comprise of investments made in a basket of debt instruments of various maturities & issuers. These funds are suitable for
investors who willing to take a relatively higher risk as compared to corporate bond funds,and have longer investment horizon. These
funds tend to work when entry and exit are timed properly; investors can consider entering these funds when interest rates have moved
up significantly to benefit from higher accrual and when the outlook is that interest rates would decrease. As interest rates go down,
investors can potentially benefit from capital gains as well. A few types of dynamically managed debt funds are mentioned below -
Income funds invest in corporate bonds, government bonds and money market instruments. However,they are highly vulnerable to the
changes in interest rates and are suitable for investors who have a long term investment horizon and higher risk taking ability. Entry and
exit from these funds needs to be timed appropriately. The correct time to invest in these funds is when the market view is that interest
rates have touched their peak and are poised to reduce.
Gilt Funds invest in government securities of medium and long term maturities issued by central and state governments. These funds
do not have the risk of default since the issuer of the instruments is the government. Net Asset Values (NAVs) of the schemes fluctuate
due to change in interest rates and other economic factors. These funds have a high degree of interest rate risk, depending on their
maturity profile. The higher the maturity profile of the instrument, higher the interest rate risk.
Dynamic Bond Funds invest in debt securities of different maturity profiles. These funds are actively managed and the portfolio varies
dynamically according to the interest rate view of the fund managers. These funds Invest across all classes of debt and money market
instruments with no cap or floor on maturity, duration or instrument type concentration.
Corporate Bond Funds
These funds invest predominantly in corporate bonds and debentures of varying maturities that offer relatively higher interest, and are
exposed to higher volatility and credit risk. They seek to provide regular income and growth and are suitable for investors with a
moderate risk appetite with a medium to long term investment horizon.
FMPs are similar to passive debt funds, where the portfolio manager buys and holds the debt securities for the entire duration of the
product. FMPs are a good option for conservative investors, as they do not carry any interest rate risk provided the investor stays
invested until the maturity of the product. They are also a tax efficient investment option.
Hybrid Funds
They bridge the gap between equity and debt schemes by investing in a mix of equity and debt securities. This adds a considerable
amount of risk to the product and will suit investors looking for commensurate returns with higher levels of risk than regular debt funds.
Monthly Income Plans (MIPs) strive to offer the benefit of diversification across asset classes by investing a proportion of the portfolio
in debt securities (70% to 95%) with a smaller allocation in equity securities (5 % to 30 %).
As the correlation between prices of equity and debt is low, this product endeavors to give an investor returns that are relatively higher
than debt market returns. MIPs can be classified as debt oriented hybrids that seek to -
o generate income from the debt securities
o maximise the benefits of long term growth from equity securities
o aim for periodic distribution of dividends
However, an important point to be noted is that monthly income is not assured and it is subject to the availability of distributable surplus
in the fund.
Capital Protection Oriented Funds are closed ended funds that are hybrid in nature; they allocate money to debt and equity
securities. The allocation to debt securities is done in such a way that at the end of the term of the product, the value of debt investment
is equal to the original investment in the fund. The equity portion aims to add to the returns of the product at maturity. These funds are
oriented towards protection of capital and do not offer guaranteed returns.
Say, for example, AAA bonds are quoting at interest rate of 10% p.a. for a 5 year term.
o This means that at the end of 5 years, the investment of Rs. 100 in such bonds would be worth Rs. 161.05, assuming reinvestment of
the interest.
o On the other hand, if one invests Rs. 62.09 in such bonds, the value of the bonds at the end of 5 years would be Rs. 100.
In such a case, the allocation between equity and debt would be 38 : 62 respectively. So, if the equity value reduces to zero, the
investor gets back the original amount invested.
The asset allocation is a function of prevailing interest rates on high quality (AAA rated) bonds. It is mandatory for the fund to be rated
by at least one rating agency in order to be called a capital protection oriented fund. Debt securities held in the portfolio must be of
highest rating.
Multiple Yield Funds are close ended income funds that aim to optimize income from debt securities and potential growth from equity.
They aim to limit the downside by investing in rated debt instruments of reputed issuers. Through a limited equity exposure, they aim to
provide capital appreciation by investing in shares of companies without any sector or market capitalization bias. This exposure will help
to participate in the growth of these companies thus seeking to provide the portfolio with an element of potential long term capital
appreciation.
