Portfolio replicates the index
Aims to provide returns in line withindex
Suitable for investors seeking returnssimilar to index
Index Funds
• Index funds create a portfolio that mirrors a market index
• The securities included in the portfolio and their weights are the same as that in the index
• The fund manager does not rebalance the portfolio based on their view of the market or sector
• The fund offers the same return and risk represented by the index it tracks
• The fees that an index fund can charge is capped at 1.5%
• Investors have the comfort of knowing the stocks that will form part of the portfolio, since the composition of the index is known.
Index Funds
• An ETF is a marketable security that tracks an index, a commodity, bonds, ora basket of assets like an index fund.
• Unlike regular mutual funds, an ETF trades like a common stock on a stockexchange. The traded price of an ETF changes throughout the day like anyother stock, as it is bought and sold on the stock exchange.
• ETFs are passively managed, which means that the fund manager makes onlyminor, periodic adjustments to keep the fund in line with its index.
• Rather than investing in an ‘active’ fund managed by a fund manager, whenyou buy units of an ETF you're harnessing the power of the market itself.
• Because an ETF tracks an index without trying to outperform it, it incurslower administrative costs than actively managed portfolios.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
• Gold ETF is a open ended scheme which invest pure physical gold bullion of 99.5 per cent purity. The scheme may also invest gold related instruments approved by SEBI and Gold Deposit Scheme of banks up to 20% of net assets
• Gold ETFs issue units against gold held in the portfolio. Each unit represents a defined weight in gold, typically one gram.
• The price of Gold ETF unit moves in line with the domestic price of gold.
• Gold ETF are benchmarked against the price of gold.
• Gold ETFs are considered as non-equity mutual funds for the purpose of taxation.⁻ Eligible for long-term capital gains benefits if held for 3 years ⁻ No wealth tax is applicable on Units of Gold ETFs
Gold Exchange Traded Funds
• International funds enable investments in markets outside India, by holding in their portfolio one or more of the following:
• Equity of companies listed abroad.
• ADRs and GDRs of Indian companies.
• Debt of companies listed abroad.
• ETFs of other countries.
• Units of passive index funds in other countries.
• Units of actively managed mutual funds in other countries.
• International equity funds may also hold some of their portfolios in Indian equity or debt.
• They can hold some portion of the portfolio in money market instruments to manage liquidity.
International Funds
• Fund of funds are mutual fund schemes that invest in the units of other schemes of the same mutual fund or other mutual funds (Hence FoF is also known as multi-manager fund).
• Its portfolio contains Units of different underlying mutual fund scheme in which the FoF has invested.
• The FoF will have two levels of expenses –
a) that of the scheme whose units the FoF invests in and
b) the expense of the FoF itself
• SEBI Mutual Funds Regulations have capped the total expenses that can be charged across both levels
• FoF provide benefit of risk diversification and portfolio diversification with small amounts of investment.
Fund of Funds (FoF)
• “Arbitrage” is the simultaneous purchase and sale of an asset to take advantage of the price differential in the two markets and profit from price difference of the asset on different markets or in different forms.
• Arbitrage fund buys a stock in the cash market and simultaneously sells it in the Futures market at a higher price to generate returns from the difference in the price of the security in the two markets. The fund takes equal but opposite positions in both the markets, thereby locking in the difference.
The positions have to be held until expiry of the derivative cycle and both positions need to be closed at the same price to realize the difference.
• The cash market price converges with the futures market price at the end of the contract period. Thus it delivers risk-free profit for the investor/trader.
• Price movements do not affect initial price differential because the profit in one market is set-off by the loss in the other market.
• Hence, Arbitrage funds are a good choice for cautious investors who want to benefit from a volatile market without taking on too much risk.

At the end of 12 months, total units purchased under SIP mode will be121.44 & cost per unit will be ₹ 98.81. Thus, the profit for an SIP investorfrom the above investment will amount to ₹ 889.28 (₹ 13,115.70 – ₹12,226.42)
Assumption: In first case, ₹ 1000 is invested every month for 12 monthsthrough SIP mode while in other ₹ 12,000 is invested as a lumpsum.
SIP: Power of compoundingAlbert Einstein regarded Compound interest as the 8th wonder of the world
He famously advised that those who understand its power, earn through it and those who do not, end up paying it
Amount Invested (per month) – ₹ 1,000 Amount Invested (per month) – ₹ 1,000
Time period – 30 years Time period – 35 years
Return – 12% pa Return – 12% pa
Total amount invested – ₹ 3,60,000 Total amount invested – ₹ 4,20,000
Maturity Value – ₹ 35.29 lakh Maturity Value – ₹ 64.95 lakh
Compounding is a true companion of an investor who is disciplined. It is superior to simple interest as it earns interest on interest
Assumption: Rate or return in either case is 12%. ₹1000 is invested every month. In the first caseinvestment period if 30 years while in second it is35 years
SIP: Start early to create a larger corpus
The table above shows the maturity values for the monthly SIP of ₹ 1,000 at 12% for different time periods.
The more time one spends in the
market, the maturity value of the
investment increases
proportionately. As the graph
suggests, for a 5-year SIP, the final
value is 1.4 times of the principal
invested. Whereas it is 6.3 times
for a period of 25 years
SIPs have been one of the best investment strategies to reap long-term equity investment gains
Assumption: Rate of return in this case is assumed to be 12%

Systematic Transfer Plan (STP): What is the basic mantra
It is not that difficult to invest a large corpus even “in a volatile market”
STP: Understanding the basics
What is it
STP refers to Systematic Transfer Plan whereby an investor is able to invest lump sum amount in a scheme and regularly transfer a fixed or variable amount into another scheme
When does it make sense
When markets are volatile it makes sense to start an STP from debt to equity fund instead of doing an one time investment in an equity oriented fund
How does it work
An investor invests a lump sum amount in one scheme, usually a
low-risk fund, and regularly transfers a pre-defined amount
into another scheme for long-term wealth creation
What should be kept in mindIt is a risk mitigation strategy and
thus the objective is not to maximize profit but to optimize
returns
STP: Typical approach
Transfer n
Transfer 1
Value of Fund A decreasing over time
Value of Fund B increasing over time
Fund A Fund B
STP: Types and when it can be used
Fixed STP
Capital appreciation STP
Both the strategies can be used by the investor depending upon the requirement
▪ In fixed mode, the systematictransfer amount remains consistent
▪ Irrespective of the overall marketconditions, a fixed amount isinvested in the second fund
▪ This mode is normally used wheninvestment is transferred from low-risk debt to equity funds
▪ In capital appreciation mode, theinitial lump sum amount that isinvested say in a debt fund remainsconsistent
▪ The capital appreciation part istransferred to the second fund sayan equity fund
▪ This strategy works for theconservative investor who wants toprotect the capital and take somerisk with the returns
STP: Final thoughts
Understanding the asset classes and overall markets
Disciplined investing
Risk mitigation strategy
Systematic transfer plan is a risk mitigation strategy which will protectthe investor from any adverse loss but also cap the returns to someextent
STP like SIP will only yield the desired result if the investorremains committed to the objective and does not break theinvestment based on short-term market movement
The investor should also understand the asset classes to some extent andwhere they currently stand. When the equity market is at its peak, itwould be unwise to transfer the fund from debt to equity, similarly whenthe markets are close to their multi-year lows, it would be counterproductive to transfer the funds from equity to debt03
01
02
Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP): What is the basic mantra
It can be used as a source ofregular cash flow
SWP: Understanding the basics
What is it
It is technically the reverse of SIPwherein one invests a lump sum at thebeginning and withdraws a fixedamount at regular intervals to generateregular cash flow. It can be started inequity, debt or hybrid funds
How does it work
The mechanism is just like SIP. An investorneeds to instruct the asset managementcompany (AMC) to redeem units on apredetermined date and credit a fixed suminto the bank account. The fund’s valueand number of units will reduce to theextent of each withdrawal
What is the frequency of payouts
The frequency is generally monthly orquarterly. It can also be semi-annual orannual depending upon the need of theinvestor
What should one keep in mind
The investor should try to Increase thewithdrawal amount every year to beatinflation
SWP: Advantages
Taxation
Partial redemption
Averages out the market
Regular Cash Flow
It provides regular cash flow to the investor. It isvery effective financial tool for those looking forfixed source of income every month, like elderlycitizens
Rupee cost averaging helps the investor in SWPplan as well. In a rising market, the investor takesadvantage of the averaging out with eachredemption
Withdrawal through SWP route is taxable @ 15%incase of short term capital gain and Nil incase oflong term capital gain if the capital gain amount isless than Rs. 1 lakh per financial year.
SWP does not require redemption of entireinvestment and investor can take care of his/herfinancial need by partial redemption every monthsystematically without doing any paperwork
SWP: Types and when it can be used
Fixed SWP
Capital appreciation SWP
Both the strategies can be used by the investor depending upon requirement
▪ In fixed mode, the systematicwithdrawal amount remainsconsistent
▪ Irrespective of the overall marketconditions, a fixed amount iscredited in the bank account
▪ This mode is important whensteady flow of income is therequirement
▪ In capital appreciation mode, theinitial lump sum amount remainsconsistent
▪ The payout is the capitalappreciation that is made due tothe performance of the fund
▪ Since the payout depends uponthe market, this mode isimportant when the initial corpusis more important then themonthly flow of income
SWP: Effective usage in different scenario
Retirement Planning
▪ Investment in a debt orientedmutual fund along with otherinstruments like bank FD
▪ Regular payouts to supplementregular income
Investment Strategy
▪ Bonus or one time payout canbe invested in a liquid or ultrashort term mutual fund
▪ This amount can then be usedfor the next six or 12 months
Start-up
▪ Everyone wants to be anentrepreneur. But beforequitting job, regular source ofincome is very important
▪ SWP is idle for this and one caninvest in debt mutual fund
SIP SWP STP: Taxation
Investment Type Comment Description

eligible for LTCG benefits

How to withdraw your money?
• A mutual fund provides relative return, with respect to its benchmark.• Returns have to always be seen in comparison with a fund’s benchmark• Appropriate benchmarks should be used to evaluate a fund’s performance
• The return of a fund should be measured over a period of time,representative of recommended holding period and objectives of the fund• Debt funds are held for shorter periods• Equity funds are held for longer periods
• The return of the fund has to be adjusted for the risk it has assumed togenerate the return.• Higher return with higher than proportionate risk, is a case of underperformance,
compared to a fund with higher return at lower risk
Performance Evaluation Principles
• The NAV (net asset value) is the market value of allthe funds investments less liabilities and expenses,divided by outstanding number of units for the firm.
• NAV is important as it is the basis for valuing aninvestor’s holding of units in a mutual fund, and therelative appreciation of the same
• Mutual Fund NAVs are published daily on AMFI’swebsite, Mutual Fund Websites, leading newspapers,etc.
What is NAV?
• Mutual funds are required to ‘Label’ their schemeson the following parameters:
• Nature of scheme in an indicative time horizon(short/medium/long term)
• A brief about the investment objective (in a singleline sentence) followed by kind of product inwhich investor is investing (Equity/Debt).
• Level of risk, depicted by ‘Riskometer’ as under:• Low - principal at low risk• Low to Moderate - principal at low to moderate risk• Moderate - principal at moderate risk• Moderately High -- principal at moderately high risk• High - principal at high risk• Very High – principal at very high risk
• A disclaimer saying: “Investors should consult theirfinancial advisers if they are not clear about thesuitability of the product.”
Product Labelling
• Facility that enables an individual unitholder (including sole proprietor ofsole proprietary concern) to nominate a person, who can claim the Unitsheld by the unitholder or the redemption proceeds thereof in the event ofdeath the unitholder.
• If the Units are held jointly by more than one person, all joint unit holdersare required to together nominate a person in whom all the rights in theunits would vest in the event of death of all the joint unit holders.
• Nomination can be made either at the time of initial application forpurchase of Units or subsequently.
• Nomination once made can be changed subsequently any time and anynumber of times.
Nomination
• In case nomination is not made by a Unitholder, the Units would betransmitted to the account of legal heir(s), depending whether thedeceased person has left behind a Will and as per applicable successionlaw, which involves lengthy (and sometimes expensive & cumbersome)procedure.
• Nomination is a simpler and inexpensive way to make things easy for one’snear and dear ones to claim the money in your mutual fund folio, demataccount or bank account expeditiously, through minimal paper after one’sdeath.
• To claim the Units after the death of a unitholder, the nominee has tocomplete the necessary formalities, such as completion of KYC process,along with proof of death of the unit holder, signature of the nominee dulyattested, furnishing of proof of guardianship in case the nominee is a minor,and such other document as may be required for transmitting the units infavour of the nominee(s).
Why is Nomination important?
