SBI Corporate Bond Fund

Posted: 30 Jul 2015 04:26 AM PDT

 The scheme will actively manage a portfolio of good quality corporate debt as well as Money Market Instruments so as to provide reasonable returns and liquidity to the Unit holders.
 

In a category where most funds pride themselves on actively managing both duration and credit, this fund takes a more passive approach to earn higher yields. It relies mainly on accrual rather than duration calls to make its returns. Having said this, the fund's view on interest rates is bullish and it expects benign global demand conditions and lower prices of crude oil and commodities to support lower inflation. It believes there is scope for a further fall in interest rates.

This is a consistent performer in the income category, beating both its benchmark and category in eight of the last ten years. The underperformance has mainly come during the most bullish phases in the rate cycle and reflects the fund's low portfolio maturity. Average maturity has fluctuated a bit over the years, moving up from under one year until mid-2014 to about three-four years now. However, this could be a function of new inflows rather than active duration bets by the manager.

While the fund's returns since launch are muted at 7.6 per cent, the five-year record, at 9.5 per cent, is among the best in the category. Asset size is a constraint as the fund's average assets have hovered between R20 crore and R200 crore in the last three years. Fluctuating size can force unnecessary churn in the portfolio, which can be difficult to deal with in the less-liquid corporate bond segment. While portfolio yield to maturity is high at 10.2 per cent (April 2015), the small size translates into a not-so-economical expense ratio of 1.38 per cent.

International Funds

International funds can help you diversify your portfolio & shield against poor performance of Indian companies, markets or the rupee

 We do recommend international funds to our investors as they help you diversify your portfolio and shield against poor performance of Indian companies, markets or the rupee. Indian markets won't be the best-performing markets at all times and there may be phases when other stock markets beat Indian equities. Having an international fund in your portfolio will thus de-risk your investment and provide you with global exposure
 

You can acquire international exposure in three ways: First, by buying funds that invest 65 per cent of their portfolios in Indian stocks and the rest globally. In this case you will enjoy the tax breaks available to domestic equity funds.Templeton India Equity Income or Birla Sun Life International Equity Fund are the funds that follow this approach.

Second, you can invest in a feeder fund playing on a region or currency that you think will deliver good returns. We are recommending US equity funds at this juncture because of the high-quality stocks available in the US market as well as dollar strength. Franklin US Equities Fund and ICICI Prudential US Bluechip Equity Fund are good options. But remember that such funds are not eligible for the tax benefits of domestic equity funds.

Third, funds playing on a theme such as energy, agriculture or commodities, such as DSP BlackRock World Energy Fund orBlackRock Agriculture Fund or L&T Global Real Assets Fund are also an option. But invest in them only if you have special knowledge about the theme.
