Prime Fund Recommendation: A fund for the opportunist in you

/ Recommendations, Categories, Mutual funds & ETFs, Premium, Research Reports /

Some funds have a clear fundamental strategy that shows in their portfolio construct. When that strategy pays off, they deliver. But many good-to-hear strategies have failed for many mutual funds in recent years. This is partly due to fast-shuffling sector preferences in the market and partly due to high stock weights in the index that funds struggle to replicate. As a result, you see them underperforming key indices.

An update on Parag Parikh Flexi Cap and investing internationally

/ Commentary, Categories, General, Mutual funds & ETFs, Premium /

In January, mutual funds investing overseas came up to a roadblock. As we had explained at the time on these curbs on international funds, Reserve Bank rules limit the amount mutual funds as a whole can invest in foreign securities. The cap stands at $7 billion for all foreign securities other than ETFs and $1 billion for ETFs. That $7 billion mark was close to being breached. And so, SEBI directed international funds to close off fresh subscriptions until a new limit could be worked out with the RBI. Please read our earlier article on this subject to understand the background.

Prime recommendation: A credit risk fund to tap better returns

/ Categories, Mutual funds & ETFs, Premium, Recommendations /

Up until recently, we tended to avoid funds with any level of credit risk let alone pure credit risk funds.

Prime Debt outlook 2022 – Interesting times ahead for debt investors

/ Bonds & Deposits, Categories, Commentary, Mutual funds & ETFs, Premium /

So what’s ahead for the prime debt outlook 2022? Do we expect rates to now sidle sideways or to continue their climb? Though the onset of Omicron may see the MPC continue to make dovish noises and delay repo rate hikes as much as it can, we think that market interest rates will continue to climb in 2022 irrespective of whether or not MPC acts.
