Case Study:

Let's say Amit, buy a home for ₹1.15 Crore and take home loan for ₹1 Crore at 6.40%

The EMI for a 30 years loan comes out to be ₹62551

1/n
Every EMI will have two components
1) which goes on repaying the loan and
2) which reduces the principal outstanding

The first monthly EMI of ₹62551 will have

~ 52333 as interest cost
&
~ 9217 as principal paid

I have read a lot of criticism for Dynamically Managed Equity Funds.

Small Thread

Debate is asset allocation at scheme level or Asset Allocation at Client (Advisor) level.

I think, instead of choosing one, both can be a good choice. Asset Allocation at scheme level
+pass through taxation for rebalancing
+ no exit loads for rebalancing
+ No emotions involved, model based.
+ Higher risk adjusted returns
- fixed income allocation has no mandate

Investors have seen what illiquidity in underlying instruments can do in debt schemes

Please note same applies to small/mid cap equity schemes

Biggest scheme by AUM in these categories will find it difficult in case of sustained redemption pressure. small schemes in these categories should be choosen over branded Big Elephants.

Fund managers have already over diversified in those schemes, look number of securities in those schemes

Look average daily volumes of top 10 holdings and see how many days will it take to liquidate

debt funds

small thread

Investors believed debt mutual funds are safe and can be replaced with Fixed Deposit. In September 2018, after the IL&FS fiasco, Indian investors realized how debt mutual funds are different than fixed deposit & there are risk associated.

#mutualfunds Since September 2018 a lot of issuers have been downgraded to D by the rating agencies. D means default, it means payment has not been made on time. Please note mutual funds follow “one day one rupee” default rule. Following is the list of default from September 2019. Image

The Finance Act, 2020 has removed the levy of DDT in the hands of the Mutual Fund and adopted the
classical system of dividend taxation under which the Mutual Funds would not be required to pay DDT.
The dividend shall be taxed only in the hands of the unitholders.

#mutualfunds w.e.f. April 1, 2020 for FY 2020-21, all types of mutual fund schemes under dividend payout and dividend reinvestment option shall be required to deduct 10% TDS on the dividend income at prescribed rates for all unitholders i.e. resident/non-resident/FII/FPI.

Please note, most of the investors do investing using rear view mirror (past performance).
look at the size of front windshield (it tells you what is coming) Vs. rear view mirror which tells you what has passed.
#mutualfunds large cap funds:

post the SEBI categorization & rationalization, large cap schemes have to maintain minimum 80% of total assets in large cap companies

the circular also defined the definition of Large Cap.

my random thoughts on small & midcap mutual fund schemes:

1) I do not know why a small cap fund has so many stocks, 111 to be exact, looks like the Fund Manager is firing all over the place.

now read the famous quote of Sir Peter Lynch ImageImage below is the performance comparison of small cap schemes from 01 Jan'2018 to 29th March'2020.

larger AUM schemes have performed poorly, reasons:
1) Impact Cost
2) constrained inability to exit illiquid stocks
3) not enough flexibility in portfolio construction Image
