Equity-linked Saving Scheme 02 Nov 2006
Equity-linked Saving Scheme 02 Nov 2006
-
An equity-linked saving scheme (ELSS) is a great investment option that offers the twin benefits of tax saving and capital gains. Earlier, investors had to spread their investments across different instruments such as PPF, ELSS, NSC and infrastructure bonds. But now, it’s possible to invest the entire limit of Rs 100,000 available under Sec 80C in ELSS. According to the new Income Tax Act, Sec 80C investments in ELSS are allowed as deduction from the total income, up to maximum Rs100,000 in a financial year.
ELSS schemes have a three-year lock-in period, which works to the investors’ benefit as the fund manager can have a portfolio of stocks that can out-perform over a period of time.
Why should one invest ELSS?
· Lock-in for three years helps in staying invested over a long period
· Investments in equity over a long-term delivers better returns
· Tax savings and high returns
· Through SIPs, one can invest small amount of Rs 500 in ELSS every month.
SIP – Systematic Investment Plan route for ELSS
One of the best ways to invest in ELSS is to save and invest on a regular basis. A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in ELSS gives the best combination of investments available to investors. The minimum investment in an ELSS through the SIP route can be as small as Rs 500.
SIP helps an investor take advantage of the fluctuations in the stock markets by rupee cost averaging. Rupee cost averaging can be explained with the help of the following example. If Rs 1,000 is invested a month at a price of Rs 20 a unit, the investor will have bought 50 units (1,000/20). But at a price of Rs 10 per unit, he will have bought 100 units (1000/10). Investing a fixed sum regularly means averaging out the cost, as the investor gets fewer units when the price goes up, and more when the price goes down.
An SIP ensures that an investor buys more when the markets are falling and less when it's peaking. But if an investor backs out when the markets are falling, he won't be buying and this will not get him to average his price, the primary reason behind the success of investing through the SIP route.
When markets are falling, it's psychologically difficult for an investor to enter. On the other hand, when the market is at a peak, a lot of investors enter the market. Due to this, the investor ends up buying high and selling low. So, it's very important to continue with the SIP even when the markets are falling.
In the current volatile market, starting an SIP would be beneficial to an investor as he can take the benefit of highs as well as the lows and can average out his purchases. The returns of a few top performing ELSS through SIP, recommended by ICICIdirect is given in the table below.

Best Tax Saving Mutual Funds for 2010
Understanding Taxes
Investment Yogi : Offers a comprehensive list of the Best Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online in 2010 in India.
What is ELSS (Equity Linked Saving Scheme)?
ELSS, popularly known as Tax Saving Mutual Fund, is a category of Mutual Fund where a major portion is invested in Equity & Equity related instruments. Investment up to 1 lakh is exempted from income under section 80C but there is a lock in of 3 years before which you can not withdraw. However there is no upper limit on investments and long term capital appreciations are tax free. Dividends received are also tax free in the hands of the investor.
ELSS is a great instrument for tax planning which also ensures good returns. But investment should be carefully planned and you should devote sufficient time in selecting the right fund.
Types of ELSS
1. Growth: Investor does not get any income during the tenure of the investment. He will get a lump sum amount at the time of redemption or on maturity.
2. Dividend: Investor gets a dividend from the fund house. He has two options:
•He can cash on the dividends.
•He can opt for dividend re-investment option.
In most funds you have Growth as well as Dividend options which you can choose depending upon your priorities.
Best Funds
We present the top 7 funds based on last 5 years’ performance:
Figure 1. Source: Value Research
How to choose a fund for investing?
A good track record is no guarantee for future performance. You should also look at some quantitative measures to evaluate which fund is good for you.
Expense Ratio: Denotes the annual expenses of the funds, including the management fee, and administrative cost. Lower expense ratio is better
Sharpe Ratio: An indicator of whether an investment's return is due to smart investing decisions or a result of excess risk. Higher Sharpe Ratio is better
Alpha Ratio: Measures risk relative to the market or benchmark index. For investors, the more positive an alpha is, the better it is.
R-squared: Measures the percentage of an investment's movement that are attributable to movements in its benchmark index. A mutual fund should have a balance in R-square and ideally it should not be more than 90 and less than 80.
Figure 2. Source: Value Research
Which fund is best for you?
Choice depends upon your risk profile and priorities. You should take an investment decision based on overall financial planning.
Large Cap Funds: These funds mostly invest in the large cap companies. While this may mean muted returns when the markets are rising, it also may mean a limited downside when the going gets tough. Franklin India Tax shield and SBI Magnum Tax gain are a few examples of this type.
Growth Funds: These Funds have about 30% exposure to mid-caps, 10% to small-caps & the rest in large caps in its portfolio. Hence it may give a higher return in rising markets. Sundaram BNP Paribas Tax saver is a good option in this category.
Mid-cap Funds: No pain, no gain. These funds have a sizeable exposure to mid-caps and small-caps. This aggressive investment style can pay rich rewards. Sahara Tax Gain and HDFC Taxsaver are good examples of fund in this class.
Small Cap Funds: Small-cap stocks can act like performance enhancing drugs. In the above discussed types, the maximum allocation to small-caps is 12%. However, Taurus Tax shield has invested almost 30% in this high-risk zone. This can be very rewarding when the going is good, but a dream run can easily become a nightmare. Taurus Tax shield has given 98.01% returns in last 1 year.
Conclusion
You should do sufficient analysis before taking investment decisions. It should be guided by your overall financial situation, goals and risk profile. A Financial Plan is recommended before making investment decisions. SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) for a long time horizon is the most recommended way to invest in equity funds. You should avoid lump sum investment especially when the market is on a high.

Best Tips to do an Analysis of Mutual Funds
Best Tips to do an Analysis of Mutual Funds
Before investing in mutual funds a proper analysis is required. While all analyses' efforts are aimed at maximizing returns and minimizing risks, it is the latter that gains importance as the single most fundamental criterion to compare mutual funds. This article makes you aware of:
How can you do a mutual fund analysis?
important is the risk factor analysis?
Why is it important to track the record of mutual fund companies?
Investing in mutual funds is not a child's play unless one does a mutual funds' analysis. At least it is not as easy as picking top performers going by indices and investing in them. While all analyses' efforts are aimed at maximizing returns and minimizing risks, it is the latter that gains importance as the single most fundamental criterion to compare mutual funds.
Fundamental Objectives of Investment
To begin with our mutual funds' analysis you need to be clear about the investment objectives you have, that is whether the objective is growth of capital or regular income. Whatsoever be the case, the basics of objective of investment are not to be forgotten.
Tips To Do Mutual Fund Analysis
It is needless to say that you need to have some rudimentary knowledge of investing in stocks and securities apart from street smartness to research mutual funds. Here are a few tips for analysis before investing mutual funds. We will begin our exercise from the point you have collected all the relevant information about competing funds.
Look At The Portfolio of Your Pick of Funds
Most of the plans will have invested in multiple stocks or securities for diversification. Critical point here is in what proportion they have invested in different stocks. Giving a higher weightage to a high returning stock leaves less opportunity for broader allocation and may back fire when market is bearish (plummeting steadily). Also higher returning stocks carry high element of risk.
The Optimum Portfolio Size
What should be the optimum portfolio size (assortment investments under one plan) for your pick of fund? Well, opinions are divided about this, but it is crucial to look into the specifics of stock bets and sectors you will be exposed to. Higher exposure to specific sectors may see you loosing out on broad based rallies in the bourses (stock markets). Optimally 65 % to 85% may be allocated in stocks from different sectors for diversification plus growth and the balance being in typical bond and money market instruments.
Is Your Pick of Funds Really Diversified
Notice that the competing plans, though from different fund companies, perform almost on par as if they have a correlation. They indeed have. So, does it mean you have diversified by spreading your money amongst them? Well, think again. Similar plans have similar pattern of their holdings of stocks and with a similar portfolio. This means, in actual effect you are not diversifying. They all go up and down almost as if they do it in tandem. For clear diversification, pick those with different portfolios though they are similar plans (ex: growth, index or dividend paying etc).

To begin with our mutual funds' analysis you need to be clear about the investment objectives you have, that is whether the objective is growth of capital or regular income. Whatsoever be the case, the basics of objective of investment are not to be forgotten.
Tips To Do Mutual Fund Analysis
It is needless to say that you need to have some rudimentary knowledge of investing in stocks and securities apart from street smartness to research mutual funds. Here are a few tips for analysis before investing mutual funds. We will begin our exercise from the point you have collected all the relevant information about competing funds.
Look At The Portfolio of Your Pick of Funds
Most of the plans will have invested in multiple stocks or securities for diversification. Critical point here is in what proportion they have invested in different stocks. Giving a higher weightage to a high returning stock leaves less opportunity for broader allocation and may back fire when market is bearish (plummeting steadily). Also higher returning stocks carry high element of risk.
The Optimum Portfolio Size
What should be the optimum portfolio size (assortment investments under one plan) for your pick of fund? Well, opinions are divided about this, but it is crucial to look into the specifics of stock bets and sectors you will be exposed to. Higher exposure to specific sectors may see you loosing out on broad based rallies in the bourses (stock markets). Optimally 65 % to 85% may be allocated in stocks from different sectors for diversification plus growth and the balance being in typical bond and money market instruments.
Is Your Pick of Funds Really Diversified
Notice that the competing plans, though from different fund companies, perform almost on par as if they have a correlation. They indeed have. So, does it mean you have diversified by spreading your money amongst them? Well, think again. Similar plans have similar pattern of their holdings of stocks and with a similar portfolio. This means, in actual effect you are not diversifying. They all go up and down almost as if they do it in tandem. For clear diversification, pick those with different portfolios though they are similar plans (ex: growth, index or dividend paying etc).

Let us discuss the dos and don'ts of selecting the best mutual funds. These points should serve as guidelines for making decision on whether your pick is among the best in the industry or not.
Dos In Selecting the Best Mutual Fund
Draw down your investment objective. There are various schemes suitable for different needs. For example retirement plan, capital growth etc. Also get clear about your time frame for investment and returns. Equity funds are not advisable for short term because of their long term nature. You can consider money market and floating rate funds for short term gains. This equals asking - What kind of mutual fund is right for me?
Once you have decided on a plan or a couple of them, collect as much information as possible on them from different sources offering them. Funds' prospectus and advisors may help you in this.
Pick out companies consistently performing above average. Mutual funds industry indices are helpful in comparing different funds as well as different plans offered by them. Some of the industry standard fund indices are Nasdaq 100, Russel 2000, S&P fund index and DSI index with the latter rating the Socially Responsible Funds only. Also best mutual funds draw good results despite market volatility.
Get a clear picture of fees & associated cost, taxes (for non-tax free funds) for all your short listed funds and how they affect your returns. Best mutual funds have lower cost out go.
Best mutual funds maximize returns and minimize risks. A number called as Sharpe Ratio explains whether a fund is risk free based on its expected returns compared against a risk free money market fund.
Some funds have the advantage of low minimum initial investments. You can start investing even with $250 a month. This is advisable for building asset bases over a long period with small regular investments.

Mutual Funds - The Logic behind Investing in Them
Mutual funds are investment companies that pool money from investors at large and offer to sell and buy back its shares on a continuous basis and use the capital thus raised to invest in securities of different companies. This article helps you to know in depth on:
Is it possible to diversify investment if invested in mutual funds?
Find more on the working of mutual fund
Know more about the legal aspects in relation to the mutual funds
At the beginning of this millennium, mutual funds out numbered all the listed securities in New York Stock Exchange. Mutual funds have an upper hand in terms of diversity and liquidity at lower cost in comparison to bonds and stocks. The popularity of mutual funds may be relatively new but not their origin which dates back to 18th century. Holland saw the origination of mutual funds in 1774 as investment trusts before spreading to Anglo-Saxon countries in its current form by 1868.
We will discuss now as to what are mutual funds before going on to seeing the advantages of mutual funds. Mutual funds are investment companies that pool money from investors at large and offer to sell and buy back its shares on a continuous basis and use the capital thus raised to invest in securities of different companies. The stocks these mutual funds have are very fluid and are used for buying or redeeming and/or selling shares at a net asset value. Mutual funds posses shares of several companies and receive dividends in lieu of them and the earnings are distributed among the share holders.
A Brief of How Mutual Funds Work
Mutual funds can be either or both of open ended and closed ended investment companies depending on their fund management pattern. An open-end fund offers to sell its shares (units) continuously to investors either in retail or in bulk without a limit on the number as opposed to a closed-end fund. Closed end funds have limited number of shares.
Mutual funds have diversified investments spread in calculated proportions amongst securities of various economic sectors. Mutual funds get their earnings in two ways. First is the most organic way, which is the dividend they get on the securities they hold. Second is by the redemption of their shares by investors will be at a discount to the current NAVs (net asset values).
Are Mutual Funds Risk Free and What are the Advantages?
One must not forget the fundamentals of investment that no investment is insulated from risk. Then it becomes interesting to answer why mutual funds are so popular. To begin with, we can say mutual funds are relatively risk free in the way they invest and manage the funds. The investment from the pool is well diversified across securities and shares from various sectors. The fundamental understanding behind this is not all corporations and sectors fail to perform at a time. And in the event of a security of a corporation or a whole sector doing badly then the possible losses from that would be balanced by the returns from other shares.
This logic has seen the mutual funds to be perceived as risk free investments in the market. Yes, this is not entirely untrue if one takes a look at performances of various mutual funds. This relative freedom from risk is in addition to a couple of advantages mutual funds carry with them. So, if you are a retail investor and planning an investment in securities, you will certainly want to consider the advantages of investing in mutual funds.

SEBI, IRDA working on insurance IPOs
Anto Antony, New Delhi
Life insurance majors like SBI Life Insurance, HDFC Standard Life, Reliance Life and ICICI Prudential may be able to launch initial public offers in the current fiscal itself as the insurance regulator IRDA and capital market regulator SEBI, fresh out of a turf war, have resumed the process for listing these companies. The necessary guidelines are under preparation.
The insurance regulator has already restarted consultations with SEBI to prepare the final draft on the valuation method to be adopted in the case of insurance companies, sources said.
“In simple terms, the embedded value of a life insurer is the sum of the adjusted net worth and the value of in-force business allowing for the cost of solvency margin held. In consultation with IRDA, we will soon come out with a method for calculating this,” said a SEBI official involved in the process.
Disclosure requirements for insurance companies intending to list are in the final form and are likely to be released by the end of the month.
