Advantages of Mutual Funds Investing

Share |

Investors often get confused in choosing Mutual Funds over stocks or any other investment domain. Mutual Funds Investing has very advantages over other form of investment and has a certain level of risk involved. In this post I would discuss about advantages of investing in mutual funds.

Diversified small investments: Mutual Funds investment is done in various industries which are often from different domains of operations like Auto, Pharma, Oil and Gas etc. This approach helps in reducing loss making risks as if one sector is under pressure then other may be rising, Pharma is sector which is recession proof and evergreen. Also you make small investments and this further reduces the amount of risk you are into.

Lots of choices: Investor can pick a mutual fund which invests in his favourite area of expertise. This can vary from one investor to another according to their profile and risk taking guts.

Well Regulated Mutual Funds: Mutual funds are well regulated and governed by rules and regulations made by SEBI, which are designed to protect the interests of the investor. Distributors or Advisors who advise investors on which mutual finds to invest in are also required to be compulsorily AMFI certified i.e. they are required to pass certain uniform tests that will ensure their knowledge and expertise to advise other people. Mutual Funds are also managed by professionals.

Tax Saving Advantages: dividend from Mutual funds is presently non-taxable

So be smart investor and invest in Mutual Funds.

Invest in equity funds and get best gains in short span

Mutual funds are proving to be best investments presently as quarterly gains are at 17 yrs high BSE is also on rise and infrastructure stocks are best stocks for investment right now as according to me property rates would again touch sky heights so will be any of the infrastructure Mutual funds investments here are some of the details about how Mutual funds have performed in last quarter and have given best returns.

"The underperformance of equity funds was primarily owing to their exposure to non-equity assets like bonds, cash, etc during the early part of the quarter," he added.

Indian shares rallied during April-June, second only to Vietnam in Asia, on signs of an economic recovery and hopes for market-friendly policies by the re-elected Congress-lead government.

The gain was the biggest rise for the benchmark since it soared 124.5 per cent in the March quarter of 1992 when Manmohan Singh, who was then finance minister, kicked off reforms to open up the economy.

However, many diversified equity funds, which held an average 15 per cent of their assets as cash at the end of March and nearly 14 per cent at end-April, missed the share market surge.

They also invested about 30 per cent of their equity assets in energy sector and defensives such as consumers and drug firms, which lagged behind sharper rallies in sectors such capital goods, financials and metals.

Emerging market funds lose sheen

Major emerging market fund groups recorded outflows during the fourth week of August with EMEA (Europe, Middle-East, Africa) equity funds hit the hardest in percentage terms, according to Emerging Markets Portfolio Funds Research.

Investors pulled money out of the diversified Global Emerging Markets (GEM) Equity Funds for a fifth-straight week and extended Latin America Equity Funds’ losing run to 12 weeks and $4.1 bn. Since the second week of June, EPFR Global-tracked Emerging Market Funds have surrendered a net $23.1 bn, the note said.

Appetite for exposure to emerging markets has been eroded by a sharp correction in commodity prices during the current quarter, a string of downward revisions to economic growth forecasts and painfully high inflation rates in several key markets including Russia, India, South Africa and Argentina. Investors still have appetite for direct exposure to China, although the $175 mn they committed to China equity funds was more than offset by redemptions from Asia (excluding Japan) equity funds, Greater China equity funds, India equity funds and Taiwan equity funds.

The abrupt loss of enthusiasm for Russia, fueled by state pressure on firms in “strategic sectors” and the recent incursion into Georgia, has played a role with outflows from Russia equity funds since late June exceeding $800 million, the EPFR note says. And since late June investors have pulled nearly $4 bn out of the Emerging Europe equity funds, which currently maintain a 42% weighting to Russian equities.

India allows sovereign funds to buy shares directly

also read : New to online share trading?

India's stock market regulator on Thursday allowed sovereign wealth funds, university funds, endownments and charitable trusts to register as foreign institutional investors (FIIs).

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said in a statement asset management firms founded by overseas Indians can also register as FIIs, which will enable them to buy and sell shares directly through a broker.

Last year, the regulator had curbed the use of participatory notes, or P-notes, used by unregistered foreigners to take exposure in Indian stocks.

At that time, SEBI had said it wanted portfolio investors to register to help it track the source of funds.
