Investment thoughts
Go tech-savvy for seamless investing Technology has become an all-embracing part of everyday life. It allows us wireless access to almost everything with just a couple of clicks of the mouse or the smart phone. Its pervasive nature has made inroads into the financial investment universe as well, and made tasks easier and convenient. Mutual funds and their allied partners, too, are leveraging technology to hasten and smoothen the customer on-boarding process.
The case for leveraging technology in mutual fund investing Technology gels well with India’s demographic structure, where the median age is less than 30 years. Also termed millennials, this cohort presents immense opportunities for the mutual fund industry as they are at ease with using technology to conduct the entire gamut of financial transactions. The biggest benefit for investors is convenience, which includes paperless experience and ease of transaction. Investors are spared mountain of paperwork. Advent of E-KYC (know your customer) is a perfect example of this, wherein investors can upload their verification details just by linking it with their Aadhaar card as against the previous practice of in-person verification which was time consuming as well as cumbersome. Also, investors can now transact and review their investments with just one click of a button. Online platforms for seamless experience The platforms available for online investment in mutual funds, both web and mobile-enabled (app), are as follows:
Cautionary points for first-time online investors ●
E-KYC compliant – Investors need to be compliant with KYC for investing in mutual funds. It is a one-time process. First-time investors need to update their personal details, PAN and Aadhaar number digitally, and they receive a one-time password or OTP. After entering the OTP, the web form gets auto populated. However, there is an investment cap of Rs 50,000 per fund house per year.
●
Updating bank details – In any online mode, investors need to update their bank details, which include IFSC and MICR code along with the account number. They also need to upload the softcopy of a cancelled cheque.
●
Nomination details – It is very important to mention details of a nominee to spare legal heirs the hassle in the event of an investor’s death. Absence of this information can lengthen the procedure by necessitating documents such as the deceased’s will, court order in the absence of a will, indemnity and legal heir certificate.
●
I-SIP registration – If an investor wants to make systematic investment plan or SIP investments, he/ she will be provided a unique registration number, which needs to be updated with the bank’s bill payment so that the SIP installment is auto debited.
Investors can reduce the cost of investing by purchasing direct plans online, as they do not include distribution fees. However, not all online platforms provide the options to buy direct plans and some do charge a small fee. Nevertheless, the use of technology in investing is indeed a boon as it offers convenience in terms of tracking and transacting and expunges mis-selling.

Bank of India’s (RBI’s) neutral monetary policy stance, despite reducing the repo rate in its policy meet on August 2, 2017, also impacted local indices.
● Rising tensions between India and China, and heavy selling of domestic equities by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) acted as a dampener.
● ●
More losses were, however, capped after the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) lifted Sebi’s trading curbs on the shares of six suspected shell companies. India’s and China's agreement to end the Doklam stand-off, robust GST revenue collection getting a good start in the first month (July 2017) and buying by domestic institutional investors (DIIs) further boosted sentiment for domestic equities.
●
Most Nifty indices ended lower in August. Nifty PSU Bank index was the top laggard – down around 12% after the country’s largest public sector bank reported a big jump in bad assets in the June quarter.
●
Meanwhile, Nifty Metal index rose around 7% on the back of recovery in global commodity prices.

Portfolio analysis The fund’s debt portfolio was primarily invested in safe bets, with 90.4% of the total debt holdings in top rated papers (AAA and A1+) and government securities for the past three years ended August 2017. The interest rate risk was managed well by altering its modified duration. For instance, when the benchmark yield for five-six years’ maturity bucket fell from 7.18% in March 2017 to 6.91% in August 2017, the fund increased its modified duration from 5.73 years to 5.85 years. Further, the fund maintained average equity exposure of 29%, with finance, auto, banks, pharmaceuticals and industrial capital goods forming the top five sectors in three years ended August 2017.
Fund manager Mr Satyabrata Mohanty, CA & CFA, is Head - Mixed Assets and has over 18 years of experience in finance and research. Mr Vineet Maloo, B.Com & CA, is the equity fund manager and has 13 years of experience. Mr Pranay Sinha is fund manager – fixed income with around 11 years of experience in the financial markets.
