13. 11Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 When you go to a restaurant to eat out, what kind of place do you prefer? Are you the kind of person who likes a set thali meal, or one who chooses á la carte out of the menu, or one who likes to go to a buffet and create a meal out of what the chef has laid out? No, this isn’t a book on food; this is still a book on investing. Even so, the question on your restaurant preferences is very much like ask- ing how you use Value Research. We have an array of digital and print offerings on investing, and within those there are thalis, buffets as well as á la carte menus. In fact, we also have everything you need to learn investing so that you can go ahead and be a chef in your own kitchen! So where does this Mutual Fund Yearbook fit in? Well, it’s like a buffet – one where our chefs have limited the choice to a set of carefully chosen dishes from our full menu. From this buffet, you can pick and choose and create any kind of meal that you’d like to have. And you can do so with complete confidence that all the dishes will be tasty, healthy, nutritious and satisfying! The reason why something like this book is needed is, of course, to deal with the embarrassment of plenty that the Indian fund investor is faced with. There are over 2,400 mutual funds in India, up 22 per cent from 2,000 when Yearbook 2014 was published and from 1,600 when the first Yearbook was published in 2008. These numbers are ridiculous. Personally, if you ask me, I would say that no AMC needs to have more than ten funds: two or three equity funds, one ELSS fund, a couple of hybrid funds and perhaps three–four fixed income funds. In an ideal world, each AMC would run a minimal number of funds and concentrate on running them well. Obviously, the reality is nothing like that. What our Yearbook does is it delivers to you a situation that is effectively like the ideal scenario. We have narrowed down thousands of funds to 63 funds of five types. These funds are all you need to create a portfolio of mutual funds that are suited to any type of investing need. However, the Yearbook is also a lot more than just a listing. It’s effectively a toolkit that helps you do the entire job. Foreword Subscription copy of RAJESH BHUTRA [rajeshbhutra@ymail.com]. Redistribution prohibited.

14. 12 Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 In the pages that follow, you will find three types of tools that will help with mutual fund investing. Firstly, there are articles that will teach you the basics of fund investing and constructing a portfolio suited to your needs. Then there is the core of the book, which is a set of funds that have been hand-picked by our analysts to serve any kind of investing need. And thirdly, there is a comprehensive fund scorecard with details of all mutual funds. The way we classify funds as per different needs in this book is different from, and complemen- tary to, the standard Value Research classification system. The Value Research classification system is based on what funds are, while the classification system used in this book is based on what you will use the funds for. As in all the years earlier, this book can be used both as a source book for exactly what to do as well as a learning aid. We’d like you to start with the former, if necessary, and graduate to the latter eventu- ally. The Yearbook is designed to help you think and learn about what you need. It will show you how you can create your own unique investing solution that is suited to your own needs. Best wishes and happy investing!

15. 13Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 It’s an unfortunate fact that most of us like to spend the least amount of time on the most important things because they are so boring. So, in case your eyelids have started getting heavy at the thought of reading five pages on how to build a portfolio, here’s a two-minute version: Î Make a list of likely future financial needs, listing the amounts needed and the likely dates. These should be specific goals, ranging from emergency fund all the way to retirement. Î For goals that are further than about seven years, invest in balanced funds or equity funds through SIPs. Î For shorter-term goals, invest in fixed-income funds. Reading the points above may not have taken even two minutes. And if you are familiar with the basics of mutual funds, this is genuinely all you need to know – no exaggeration! However, we do hope that the points will help whet your appetite for a slightly more detailed understanding of what you need to do in order to build, track and maintain a portfolio suited to your needs.

17. 15Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 Set Your Goals Predicting the future is not all that difficult. The big financial needs of your life are mostly predictable. Once they grow up and start working, people get married, have children, buy a house, educate their children and retire. There are individual variations, of course. For example, some spend a big amount on their children’s weddings, and some are lucky enough to have an inherited house and even rental income to take care of retirement. Of course, there are unfore- seen emergencies, but those have to be tackled separately. However, it’s not difficult to make a rough estimate of the big-ticket ones. The most important question you will need to answer is this: How much should I invest? We have created a simple way of finding this out. The accompanying table shows you how much you need to invest every month in order to accumulate `10 lakh in a given period. To help you see the difference between different kinds of investments, we have shown typical figures that you can expect from a post office recurring deposit, a typical balanced fund and a typical conservative equity fund. You can just double the investment sum to `20 lakh or halve it to `5 lakh and so on. Choosing Funds In Value Research’s way of thinking, goals that need to be fulfilled in the short term are fundamentally different from long-term goals. Short-term goals are best fulfilled using fixed-income investments. These could be a bank or a post office deposit, or a fixed income fund. However, long-term financial goals are best fulfilled using a portfolio comprising of equity mutual funds. Equity is the only type of asset that can ensure that your money grows faster than inflation and does not actually lose value. However, equity mutual funds can be volatile and thus are suitable only for long-term investments. Over the short term, the ups and downs of the stock market could very well lead to temporary losses. Because of this, we do not recommend investing in equity mutual funds if your financial goal is nearer than about five to seven years.

18. 16 Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 After you have figured out how much to invest in different kinds of funds, you need to choose what the actual funds are that you have to invest in. Normally, investors tend to choose funds based on their recent performance. However, in this book, we have for you a different, far easier way of choosing funds. This is the way of selecting funds where our analysts have done almost the entire job, and we have put in the time and effort to prepare a ready list of funds for you to invest in and create a portfolio with. The most distinctive thing about this approach is the simple and self-evident mapping from your investment goals to the kind of fund that you should be investing in. Whereas the core categorisation system that you see on our website would say that some fund is ‘Hybrid Equity Oriented’ (among 25 other categories), this book has just five simple classes of funds: conservative growth, stable /moderate growth, aggressive growth, income funds and liquid funds. This is the pinnacle of simplicity. Hardly anything but the names are needed for an investor to figure out which class of funds best suits his needs. Within each of these classes, there are funds of two or three categories whose purpose becomes easy to understand, given the context. All in all, you will rarely have to understand and evaluate more than three or four funds for a given purpose. Moreover, you needn’t do even this much. These are hand-picked funds, which our analysts have selected. There is a choice, but you won’t go wrong even if you pick one randomly or indeed distribute your investments across a number of them. Unlike what is normally done, this book incorporates tax-saving (ELSS) funds in the same framework instead of giving them a separate category of their own. In fact, depending on their investment strategies, tax-saving funds have been split between our ‘Stable Growth’ and ‘Aggressive Growth’ categories. The logic is simple: tax savers are investments first and tax savers later. If your investment needs are better met by a more conservative tax saver, then you must select for that characteristic first. Numbers Matter, but so Do Opinions The key feature of fund analyst’s choices is the two-step method of selection. Firstly, there is the normal quantitative, number-driven How to Build a Winning Portfolio Subscription copy of RAJESH BHUTRA [rajeshbhutra@ymail.com]. Redistribution prohibited.

19. 17Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 method that is based on the same inputs as our ranking, star ratings and other data. We look at returns, risk measures, portfolio construction and a number of statistical measures. However, the second layer of evaluation is more important as it is what makes fund analyst’s choices unique. This level of selection is qualitative. It is based on the opinion that our team has about the fund, the AMC, the fund manager, objective of the fund, the prospects of the country’s economy, etc. An important source of inputs is the access that Value Research has to fund managers and chief investment officers (CIOs). As the country’s most influential mutual fund research house for decades, we have earned the privilege of being able to directly access anyone in the fund industry. This directly benefits our readers by enhancing the quality of our analyses. How Many Funds? How many funds should your portfolio ide- ally have? After all, it is entirely possible to invest in just one balanced fund and be done with your portfolio. While this ultra- simple approach has its good points, in practice you should diversify because any individual fund manager can make mistakes. Moreover, diversification helps you guard against such mistakes. In our view, two or three equity funds and one or two debt funds are enough for each type of fund that you need. So, if you want a portfolio that needs conservative equity funds and liquid funds, then two liquid funds and perhaps three equity funds are good enough. Beyond this, you are adding complexity to portfolio management without getting any additional stability. Track and Maintain Your Portfolio Even a great portfolio must be monitored and must evolve to suit changing conditions. One major reason for this is that formerly good funds could start consistently underperforming. Of course, you must not jump How to Build a Winning Portfolio Subscription copy of RAJESH BHUTRA [rajeshbhutra@ymail.com]. Redistribution prohibited.

20. 18 Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 the gun and fire a fund for short periods of underperformance. But if a fund is perform- ing considerably worse than others funds of the same type for more than a year, you should think of switching to a better per- forming fund. The other reason for changing a portfolio is that you are approaching the time when you will need the money. A portfolio that started out as a five-year, medium-term investment will be a short-term portfolio four years later. The solution is clear; portfolios must be reworked as the time to liquidate them gets closer. Otherwise, your hard-earned equity returns could get wiped out in a bear market just when you need the money. As the time approach- es closer, you must start moving the money into debt funds gradually, perhaps a year or two in advance, which is crucial to protect your returns. Peace of Mind In a nutshell, portfolio construction is not rocket science. All it requires is a great deal of carefully thought-out systematic actions. Besides great returns with the right amount of risk, the most important payoff from building a portfolio methodically is the peace of mind it provides to investors. You will know what you are doing and why you are doing so, and you will sleep peacefully at night without worrying about the fate of your investments.

23. 21Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 C reating a good portfolio is only the first step. To make sure that you actually achieve those goals, you will need to make sure that the portfolio stays suitable for your goals over the long-term continuosly. As time passes, many things change, which need to be monitored and adjusted. The biggest problem that investors face in monitoring their portfolios is lack of information. To be able to track various aspects of your investments that need to be monitored, you need an easy and automated way of analysing your investments in detail. This isn’t easy for an individual investor to do. Fortunately, Value Research provides a set of highly sophisticated, yet completely free web-based service tools that will do exactly that. These tools are built into the revolutionary ‘Portfolio Manager’ on ValueResearchOnline.com. To use it, all you have to do is to visit the site and register. Once you have registered, just click on the ‘My Portfolio’ link to create your portfolio and enter details of the funds (and stocks) that you have invested in. You can create up to five different portfolios to track separate financial goals. And here’s a list of what you should track, along with details of how the Value Research Portfolio Manager will help you do that.

24. 22 Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 How to Track your Portfolio TO TRACK… Current portfolio value and gains USE FEATURE… The ‘Snapshot’ view of the portfolio tells you the latest value of each individual holding, as well as the total. Total returns and gains are also available for the portfolio as a single entity. This data is updated every evening soon after the fund companies release the day’s NAVs. It is based on the live prices in case of stocks. The ‘Snapshot’ view gives the internal rate of return for each investment. You can go to the ‘Gain & Loss’ view to get a detailed analysis of returns. The rupee gains, split into realised and unrealised are available for each investment. The ‘Analysis’ view tells how much of your money is in debt and how much in equity. The ‘Analysis’ view tells how much of your money is in which sector and in which specific company. The ‘News’ view has links to all news and articles on ValueResearchOnline.com related to the funds you have invested. The ‘Index Compare’ view lets you compare any of your funds with any stock market index. The software automatically generates a graph to help you visualise the difference to ascertain how your fund has fared compared to the market index. The ‘Performance’ view gives you the returns that each fund generated over standard periods like 1-week, 1-month, 1-year, 3-years and 5-years besides the funds’ rank in its own category. Returns generated by individual investments. Use this to monitor whether investments are generating the rate of return that you expect and if any investment is underperforming any other Whether the target asset allocation is holding true. Each of your portfolios should have a target equity and debt percentage, as explained in ‘Build a Winning Portfolio’.

25. 23Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 The over 150 funds in the Yearbook 2015 are selected from a universe of nearly 2,500 funds that are in operation in India. Value Research divides this entire universe into 27 categories. The reason for such an approach is to enable every possible type of investor to build a portfolio from a combination of funds. The investor profile can vary from an aggressive risk-taker in equities, to a retired person looking for a monthly income, to a CFO looking to park a huge chunk of cash over a weekend. In short, anything that an investor needs, funds for that purpose can be sifted from this list. Of the 27 categories, 12 are pure equity categories, 6 are hybrids (equity and debt) and 8 are pure debt categories with the last one being gold. For equity fund categories, the basic characteristic that is used to slot funds is the size (market capitalisation) of the companies that these funds invest in, except the tax planning category which consists of all funds that are compliant with the section 80C of the Income Tax Act. For hybrid fund categories, the categorisation is based on the balance between debt and equity that a fund maintains. For debt fund categories, funds are slotted according to the residual maturity of the securities they invest in. Across all these three categories, the underlying principle is to slice the universe along a risk- return continuum. This process serves two goals. First, readers can zero in on the exact balance of risk and return that they are looking for; and second, funds can be compared with others that are genuinely their peers without the comparison getting muddied by whatever marketing positioning a fund might take. The entire categorisation is based on the actual portfolios that the fund managers are running, and not their self-stated inten- tions. The actual portfolios that have been considered are those spread over the last three years and the Value Research fund rating and both the fund Scorecard, rest on this fund classification.

Ltd mutualfund.birlasunlife.com Computer Age Mgmt Services Ltd 5,000 BSE, NSE 1% for redemption within 365 days 1,000 Strategy & Review Beating its benchmark in every one of the last ten years, Birla Sun Life Frontline Equity has enjoyed an average Value Research rating of 4-stars over a decade. True to its name, the fund invests 70-80 per cent of its portfolio in large-cap stocks and the remain- ing 20-25 per cent in midcaps. The fund does not invest in small caps. It has usually been overweight in large-caps compared to its peers. The fund has enhanced large-cap exposure and cut mid-cap allocations as markets soared in 2014. It pegs sector weights to the BSE 200 index, only some- times selecting stocks outside the index. This discipline has helped ensure that the fund doesn’t fall much more steeply than the market during bear phases. A steady management team has led to continuity of style and market cap bias. Whether up, down or sideways market, this fund has managed to outperform its benchmark. A good record at containing downside in the falling markets has ensured a smooth- er ride for investors too. The fund’s 5-year and 7-year returns are both ahead of the category by a good margin. Returns relative to category have been a little sluggish in 2014, but beat the benchmark. The fund has been an easy winner over three different market cycles and is backed by a stable management team too.

28. 26 Mutual Fund Yearbook 2015 Reading a Fund Report - Hybrid Risk Measures Quarterly Returns (%)Trailing Returns (%) Best & Worst Returns (%) Canara Robeco Balance Fund All data as on 31/12/2014 Strategy & Review Canara Robeco Balance is the oldest balanced fund. The period since 2001 has seen it make its mark as a quintessential balanced fund, registering substantial gains when the equity markets are doing well, and limiting losses in falls. In keeping with its steady performance, it has underperformed the category average only for two calendar years in the last ten. In the comparison with the benchmark, this fund comes off even better. Except for a lag of 2.3 per cent in 2013, it has always beaten the index. To be sure, in many of these years it has beaten the benchmark by only a small margin, but that is characteristic of a conservative fund. Surely, there are many investors who prefer the tortoise to the hare. This fund is essentially a large cap fund, with the mid-cap exposure staying within the 20 to 30 per cent range. Sector distribution has stayed close to that of the benchmark. The debt-equity ratio is rebalanced not by the calendar but depending on a number of macro and micro-level variables. In terms of actual portfolio choices, a combination of top-down and bottom up strategy is followed. All things considered, this is a conservatively run fund that will deliver mild positive sur- prises and almost no negative ones.

Avg Credit Rating Birla Sun Life Dynamic Bond Fund All data as on 31/12/2014 Strategy & Review If you’re confused about interest rates, this is a good fund to make the most of the interest rate situation as it unfolds. Though dynamic bond funds are supposed to actively navi- gate the rate cycle, quite a few funds in this category have not managed this feat. Consistently scoring 4 to 5 stars from its launch in March 2006, this fund has navi- gated choppy debt markets very well and that too over an extended period. A sea- soned manager at the helm for a long period has aided predictability of returns mainly through good calls on portfolio duration. The fund has not missed out on the recent bond market rally, and has been a category topper in 2014. After maintaining a limited portfolio duration of 1-3 years over much of 2011 and 2012 and relying mainly on an accrual strategy amid a falling rate cycle, the fund began to slightly increase its maturities from the end of 2012, with a view to taking advantage of a further fall in rates. The fund’s average maturity rose to nearly 7 years by end of 2012, only to moderate to about 4-5 years by mid-2013. In July 2013, when RBI’s surprise move to hike overnight rates materialised, the fund suffered a 2.5 per cent reversal in its NAV, but quickly bounced back. Recent changes in the macro environ- ment, including a stronger rupee, shrinking current account deficit and a constructive view on CPI inflation has prompted the fund to take a more aggressive stance. The fund manager decided to increase the upper limit on average maturity from 3.5 to 5 years to better play the falling rate scenario.
