So, for the time being do not let your bonus stay idle in your bank saving account. So, immediately transfer it to a Liquid mutual fund scheme.

beginning and bonus in hand also gives an opportunity to review your insurance covers and buy new policies. Ideally one should have adequate covers of life, health, personal accident and critical illness too, to be very safe. Bridging the gap in your insurance cover is akin to making a strong financial armor or protection to life's uncertainties. Use your bonus here to good effect.

Pay off your high interest bearing debt:After arranging for your commitments or fixed cash outflows, the surplus bonus can be used to pay off high cost debts/loans. Getting out of debt, if any, is a very important goal and an important step to achieve financial wellness. High interest rate bearing debt/loan like Credit Card payments outstanding, personal loans, etc. are on the top of the list to dispose. You may though continue with your home loan EMIs where there is a tax advantage. However, if you have many years of loan tenor remaining, it would be a very wise decision to repay at least some part of the loan back. If regularly done, you will be surprised how significantly this habit will reduce your tenor and interest outgoings in future.

Keep an Emergency Fund aside:Building an emergency fund is like having short-term cash flow assurance in times of emergencies. This is especially important if you run a tight monthly budget and are low on long-term savings. An emergency fund has many uses as one can understand and a bonus kitty is a good source to contribute, at least partly, to it. Try to build your emergency fund to a minimum of three months of fixed / committed expenses over time and keep them in liquid avenues like liquid funds.

Invest for your goals:Your contribution towards your goals from your monthly salary takes you a step closer towards them, but your bonus can help you take a big leap forward. Your bonus can also help you fill the gaps in your investment plan. Use bonus amount as a booster to strengthen your financial plans to meet your financial goals, especially those which have not been adequately planned for, like for example, your retirement goal. Just like repaying some of your long term debt regularly, putting some money aside for long term financial goals will also ensure greater certainty of goal achievement and capital appreciation too.

Spend with care: Now that we have covered all important aspects of your financial well-being, let us come back to where we started – new devices, holidays, etc. We believe there hardly would be anything left if you have accounted for all the important things talked about earlier. But it also doesn't mean one cannot smartly allocate between all priorities and you may keep aside a part of your bonus - say 5% to 20% to spend, depending on your present financial situation. So you can now go ahead and pamper yourself and scratch that itching to spend, albeit

only after providing for the above points. One good way to pamper yourself would be to invest in self rather than spend. So you can get yourself a yoga or gym membership, or a good bicycle to ride or enroll yourself to learn new skills or register for a certification or buy books and so on. A vacation break with family to unwind yourself is also a positive thing to do. Remember, there are better ways to spend on self rather than flashing expensive mobiles.

In brief:

The crux is that your bonus is not a lottery, but your hard earned money which deserves care and respect. One should aim to get the maximum benefit out of it. A good way to do so would be to divide your bonus kitty into different components like say - covering important expenses, including insurance (30%), investments for goals (25%), debt repayments (25%), emergency fund (5%) and finally investing or spending on self (15%). The weights are just indicative and one can change weights or even remove components if not required. The idea is to improve your financial well-being smartly and making small contributions for your future betterment. While many of us may not like their dreams compromised, it is the price and sacrifice that you may have to pay towards ultimately reaching nirvana or financial freedom. Truth be told, spending gives only momentary happiness. In that sense, bonus too is momentary and it would be a matter of pride if you can squeeze out lasting benefits from it. We wish you all the best in your quest!

What are Dreams?

If there is one thing that could separate us from any other living species, it is our ability to dream. Dreams are aspirations and hopes that drives us, motivates us to strive, to work hard for things that promise us joy, well-being, fame or prosperity. Without dreams, perhaps even our present would be uninspiring and dull.

A kid wants to become a pilot when he grows up, a young entrepreneur wants to build the next billion dollar company, a young plump lady wants to be slim, a dad wants to send his young kid to an ivy league college, your office peon wants to have his own 2bhk and so on. These are our dreams.

And even the thought of realising them one day often leaves us beaming with a big smile. But very often, most of our dreams are fickle and not strong

enough. Most of us have experienced that most of our dreams die a natural death and remain unfulfilled.

The biggest hindrance to realising our dreams is that we are the ones who often have doubts about them or are not ready to go through the grind. Even if dreams are possible, we seldom plan for them and follow a concrete actionable path. To achieve our dreams, we have to see them as real goals or targets. Converting dreams into goals, is like giving a body to thoughts and bringing it to life.

How to set a Goal?

A goal is a desired result or possible outcome that a person envisions, plans and commits to achieve. It is the observable and measurable end result or outcome to be achieved within a certain time frame.

When you say, “I want to own a Mercedes”, this is your dream. But when you say, “I will work hard and save more so that by July 15, 2022, i.e. my 25th marriage anniversary, I will gift my wife with the latest model of Mercedes E-350 series, which costs R90 lakhs today”, this is your goal. While these adjectives differentiate a dream with a goal, a goal also has to be backed up with proper commitment and a clear intention to be achieved.

When one has a dream of owning a Mercedes, he might not work towards it and might never achieve it, because it hasn't yet taken a form or a body. And because the “what and when” is not so clear, there is also no clarity of “how” one can reach his dream or what path to follow. But when one has a goal, there is more clarity and one expects that he or she will work according to a proper plan to ultimately become the proud owner of a sleek Mercedes car. Goals always can bring more realism, confidence, passion and commitment to achieve them compared to vague dreams.

Since we are also talking of realism, when one converts a dream into a goal, there can be two possibilities before that person:

Either: The goal looks practical and achievable given his/her financial situation. But for that to happen, there is also acceptance of the plan of action to pursue it. In the case of buying a Mercedes after 5 years, if the person is ready to do an SIP of R1 lakh per month starting now, then this plan should sound acceptable. If the person feels that in his overall scheme of things, he

can fit this particular piece without disturbing other important financial goals, then it is safe to say 'get set, go'.

Or: The person may realize that being a salaried person with limited savings and/or with other financial goals like child education, marriage and retirement of higher priority, saving Rs.1 lakh is not practical for me. In such a case, the person may postpone the goal or scale it down to other cars like Accord or City, depending on how well one is able to manage the bigger picture.

So, how do I ensure that I will achieve my Goals?

Now that we know that if we want to make our dreams come true, we have to transform it into a goal, the next critical question is how to go about implementing it and ensuring it becomes successful. Well here are some of our tips...

Research: The first thing to do while defining your goal is proper research or clarity of goal. Find out exactly what will it take to achieve it. So, if your goal is to buy a bungalow in an upscale area in your city, you have to begin by researching about the upscale areas, shortlist the areas that you like, find out the property prices in those areas and so on. The idea is simply to arrive at proper figures to achieve.

Financial Planning: After you now what are the options before you in terms of goals to achieve, the next question is 'when'. Putting a time frame is important and with time also comes the factor of price inflation - the farther the horizon, the bigger target amount will get but so will be the time available with you to save. Every expense has an inflation factor attached to it. You need to note that real estate prices in an upcoming city may be very different compared to inflation of the Mercedes car. While planning it is also important to prioritise all your goals so that you do not mess up one more important goal for a less important one. Planning will also need to factor in things like your income, expenses, assets, liabilities, future income potential & risks and so on. Mind it, all these things may be too much for you and hence help of your financial advisor or an expert would be required.

Action Plan: Now you know how much you need to fulfill your goal and how many years ahead you need this amount. The next step is to break down that amount into lumpsum and/or

periodic installments. That will be the amount you need to save and invest to achieve your goal. Your action plan will take into consideration your potential to save and priority of your goals and the right asset classes to save as per risk and investment horizon. Your financial advisor will play a major role here, he will help you in selecting the ideal investment product, and he will also help you in determining the amount that you would need to invest in that product on a regular basis. Once you have the plan ready, the next step is to act on it and start saving and investing.

Keep yourself in control: The property prices may take a sudden leap or fall. There may be newer areas in the city which are gaining popularity, there may be newer government regulations which may have an impact on the properties of your choice or real estate in general. Your own financial and family situations will change over time. There might even be new goals you have and old ones which you longer need. All these factors might need a change in your plan of action, and you shall incorporate all such changes to make sure that you are in control and walking in the right direction always.

Get Committed: As they say, “it's all in the mind”. You will achieve your goal only if you believe in it. Writing down your goal, sharing it with your family & friends and putting it on a calendar, will help you in strengthening your intent and commitment to the goal. You have to be passionate about it, think about it often, plan more things around it, keep visualizing, all these things will keep the spark alive. Over time, this will be most important to achieve your goal. It will also push you to make a sacrifice when needed in favor of the goal and stop you from giving up in challenging times. Your passion can even overcome insurmountable obstacles and achieve things which seemingly are impossible today. It can be a big partner in helping you achieve your dreams.

To conclude, let me quote what a wise man once said, “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world”.

Every morning when you wake up, you have two choices: either continue to sleep with your dreams, or wake up to chase them. The choice is yours.

Q. India Inc. will start declaring quarterly results in coming days. What are your expectations?Answer: We believe that the qtrly results would be a mixed bag for corporate India during the 4QFY17.Certain sectors are still feeling the impact of demonization. The earnings growth for the 4th qtr would be driven by the low base of few cyclical like PSU Banks, Metals, Oil& gas etc. In our view Nifty earnings growth this quarter can be in the region of 9-11% similar to previous quarter. This quarter Technology & Pharma could report subdued earnings.

Q. The FY2016-17 was largely good for the domestic markets and the industry. How are the equity markets expected to perform this year?Answer: After the strong run in FY17, we expect markets to take a pause and consolidate in the near term with some downside bias led by global factors. Valuations are in the fair value plus zone. However the trend line and direction from the medium term perspective is still positive. Definitely the market participants are cautious and prices of stocks are still not in a bubble zone. Markets still offer good bottom up stock picking opportunity. Assuming markets to be a 5 day test match in terms of cycle we are definitely not in the fifth day but on the 3rd day.

Q. There are increasing voices of protectionism and trade rebalancing by many developed countries, especially US. What impact do you feel it will have on India's economy in coming years?Answer: While the general belief is that Protectionism and Trade Rebalancing is negative for India; we believe it is premature to make such a conclusion as there are a lot of moving parts in the Global economy today. For example, the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement would have been a negative for Indian Textile companies as their competitors in Vietnam would have gotten a large free market to cater to. However the scrapping of TPP by US has come as a relief to Indian textile companies. Similarly while Brexit may be negative from a Global trade perspective, it has opened up the Potential for a UK India Free Trade Agreement. So the situation today is very fluid and it will take some time before one can arrive at a conclusion

Q. The Indian Rupee is has performed strongly in the recent quarter. What do you think are the main reasons for the

same and at what levels do you feel that the Rupee will likely settle?Answer: The current macro situation of India is excellent with low current account deficit, inflation under control, relatively strong GDP growth etc. This has helped attract flows both in form of record FDI and decent FII flows both in debt and equity markets which in turn has helped rupee to appreciate. Also Indian rupee shouldn’t be looked in isolation as most of the emerging market currencies since the start of this calendar year have appreciated against the USD. For eg: Mexican Peso: 12%, Russian Ruble: 9.3%, Taiwanese Dollar 6.3%, South Korean Won: 6%, Indian Rupee: 5.29%

Q. What are your views on current market valuations especialy w.r.t. the large cap and mid cap space? What would you suggest for a person looking to invest fresh money at this time?Answer: Over the last few years broader markets have done better than the Nifty/Sensex as mid-small caps have outperformed the large-caps. In the near term midcap-small cap valuations are higher than the historical averages. The advice to investors would be that have a right mix of funds (large cap, multicap & Mid-small caps) and diversify across market capitalization rather than having concentration towards one. Also at the current levels of the markets we would advise investors to do regular investments via SIP/STP and if market offers opportunity during correction one should do lumpsum investments.

Q. How do you see the earnings growth shaping up this year? According to you, which sectors will likely to outperform or underperform in near term?Answer: We believe the earnings growth for Nifty could be in the region of 12-15%. The sectors likely to outperform are: Private Banks and Select NBFCs, Auto and Auto ancillaries, Capital Goods, Oil &gas, Cement etc and sectors likely to underperform can be IT & Pharma.

What is the investment and cash strategy followed by your fund-house in present market scenario? Are you looking for new opportunities or are holding on to existing bets?

Answer: We as a philosophy don’t take cash calls and maximum cash we maintain is around 7% in a portfolio. The portfolio is always a combination of new ideas and existing bets. The portfolio churn across our funds is quite low which shows that we try to take long term bets.

MF NEWSMFs' exposure to bank stocks at record R1.26 lakh crore

Mutual fund managers contin-ued to be bullish on bank shares, with their allocation to the sector reaching an all time-high of over R1.26 lakh crore at the end of March, mainly due to cheaper valuations. In comparison, fund manager's investments in bank shares stood at R80,468 crore at the end of March 31, 2016. MFs have been adding exposure to financial sector, especially banking stocks due to several reasons, lower valuations due to price corrections, expectation of corporate lending growth returning and better net interest margins, especially after the demonetisation announcement which lowered cost of funds for many banks, according to industry experts. Banking continues to be the most preferred sector with fund managers as they cannot afford to take a bearish call on the banking stocks, given the high weightage attached to the index.

SEBI allows investors to buy mutual funds via e-wallets

Investors will be permitted to purchase mutual funds worth up to R50,000 through digital wallets, the market regulator, SEBI said in a release. Investments up to R50,000 per mutual fund per financial year can be made using e-wallets, the regulator said while redemption of such investments can be made only to the bank account of a unit holder. Besides, mutual funds & asset management companies have been allowed to provide instant online access facility to resident individual investors in liquid schemes. In this case, the limit would be up to R50,000 or 90 per cent of folio value, whichever is lower. The release said that the proposal was part of the efforts to channelize household savings into the capital market as well as promote digital payments in the mutual funds industry.

GST will push India's growth to over 8%, enhance trade across states: IMF

The ambitious Goods and Services Tax to be implemented from July 1 would help raise India's medium-term growth to above eight per cent, the International Monetary Fund has said adding that the reforms being done is expected to pay off in terms of higher growth in the future. The government has made significant progress on important economic reforms that will support strong and sustainable growth going forward, said Tao Zhang, Deputy Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund. We are extremely impressed by the work that is being done and that we expect it will pay off in terms of higher growth in the future, he said in response to a question on the reforms being undertaken by the Indian Government.

Economic recovery to gather pace from Q2 on consumption revival: Report

India's economic recovery is expected to pick up pace from the April-June quarter on account of consumption demand revival amid waning demonetisation impact, says a Morgan Stanley report.

MFs' exposure to bank stocks at record R1.26 lakh crore

Mutual fund managers contin-ued to be bullish on bank shares, with their allocation to the sector reaching an all time-high of over R1.26 lakh crore at the end of March, mainly due to cheaper valuations. In comparison, fund manager's investments in bank shares stood at R80,468 crore at the end of March 31, 2016. MFs have been adding exposure to financial sector, especially banking stocks due to several reasons, lower valuations due to price corrections, expectation of corporate lending growth returning and better net interest margins, especially after the demonetisation announcement which lowered cost of funds for many banks, according to industry experts. Banking continues to be the most preferred sector with fund managers as they cannot afford to take a bearish call on the banking stocks, given the high weightage attached to the index.

MFs' exposure to bank stocks at record R1.26 lakh crore

Mutual fund managers contin-ued to be bullish on bank shares, with their allocation to the sector reaching an all time-high of over R1.26 lakh crore at the end of March, mainly due to cheaper valuations. In comparison, fund manager's investments in bank shares stood at R80,468 crore at the end of March 31, 2016. MFs have been adding exposure to financial sector, especially banking stocks due to several reasons, lower valuations due to price corrections, expectation of corporate lending growth returning and better net interest margins, especially after the demonetisation announcement which lowered cost of funds for many banks, according to industry experts. Banking continues to be the most preferred sector with fund managers as they cannot afford to take a bearish call on the banking stocks, given the high weightage attached to the index.

The second predicted that government spending in low-income countries will need to grow substantially, because private per capita health spending in these countries will not grow as fast as required.
