eKYC for Mutual Funds

Posted: 04 Oct 2016 03:41 AM PDT

eKYC in MFs


The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has issued guidelines under The Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) which requires investors to be KYC (Know Your Customer) compliant before investing in mutual funds. Completing KYC for investors was a major hurdle for distributors to get investors on board. To solve this problem, Sebi has launched eKYC in mutual funds.

What is eKYC in MFs?


eKYC is a paper less Aadhaarbased process for fulfilling KYC requirement to start investing in mutual funds (MFs).

This has been imple mented after Sebi recently allowed Aadhaar based KYC to be used for MF investments, for the convenience of inves tors. Karvy and CAMS on have facilitated eKYC for investors in MFs.

How does eKYC work and what are the benefits?


The regular KYC process re quires submission of KYC form with investor signature and additional documents for ID and address proof. IPV and sighting the original documents needs to be completed by a competent person. eKYC completely eliminates paper work and IPV to complete the KYC process. CAMSKarvy as a KYC User Agency (KUA) is approved by UIDAI to accept investor's Aadhaar number and complete KYC verification with one time password (OTP).

What does an investor need to get this process initiated?


Investor can visit the website of CAMS or Karvy . He needs Aadhaar number, PAN number and personal details such as mobile number and email-id. Mobile number is mandatory . He can authenticate himself by receiving OTP on mobile number.

What is the maximum amount of transaction one can make through OTP-based eKYC?


Sebi, the regulatory body, has provided guidance to restrict investments to `50,000 per annum per MF for OTP-based eKYC.However, in case of more investment, the investor needs to do IPV or biometric-based authentication. That can be done through a distributor, or at any office of CAMS / Karvy

Birla SunLife Manufacturing Fund

Posted: 04 Oct 2016 02:14 AM PDT

Invest Birla Sun Life Manufacturing Fund Online

It has been over 20 months since we have launched the Birla SL Manufacturing Fund. I think it is an opportune time to provide an update. Also, I have learnt that there are unfounded concerns over the performance of the fund even after the NAV being at > INR 11.5 currently. This is not an effort to counter the concern but to present facts and figures to all.


As all of you would recollect, the fund was launched in Jan'15 when the markets were in good mood and the concept of "Make in India" was making headlines every day. Sensex and Nifty indices peaked in early months of 2015. In fact, as you read this note, those peaks have not been breached yet. In this backdrop, we think that an absolute return of 15% is credit worthy.


It was during this phase of the market peak that Birla SunLife Manufacturing Fund received the money through the NFO with a compulsion to deploy almost immediately.


Birla SunLife Manufacturing Fund started to build the portfolio slowly maintaining high cash levels and higher large cap stocks and limited mid cap stocks. It took four months for the cash level to fall below 10% still maintaining high large cap exposure. However, as the markets corrected the midcap exposure has increased in the portfolio, as seen below. 

 

Maneuvering through the above mentioned market scenario and looking through the rhetoric on "Make in India", the fund has been able to create alpha the broad based index - BSE500 (which is tougher to beat) across time periods. Just to clarify that if the NAV of BSE500 is taken for the same period as the fund, it would have read 9.81 today compared to fund's NAV of 11.53 (as of 29th Sep'16)

Sectors:

We were very clear from the beginning that returns can be made in Auto, Pharma and select themes in Consumer. Also, we had apprehension on the valuation of Consumer Staples and a strong view that the investment cycle would be slow and delayed for capital goods stocks to perform.


With this view, we have built and maintained sizeable positions of 18-22% in Auto & Auto related stocks for the entire period. Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp & MRF have sizeable weights. Pharma also had high representation with a weight of 15-19%. It has been a mixed bag as FDA issues led to correction in some stocks while some bottom up picks did very well. Participation in paints, spirits and white goods has been good with positive attribution to the performance of the fund. A sector like Chemicals has done well for us as we held 5-8% weight purely based on bottom up stock picking (Tata Chemicals).


Though we had cautious view on Capital Goods due to slow and delayed investment cycle, we took some exposure to the sector and even this exposure has hurt the performance.


Overall, the sectoral view has panned out leading to the alpha created in the portfolio over the last 20 months.


Stocks:

Bottoms up stock picking is similar to the one followed for BSL Equity fund. The three hypothesis on which the stock picking is done is explained below :-

First hypothesis being to consistently focus on looking for companies that are at an inflection point like that of Strides Shasun, Dishman Pharma & Piramal Healthcare.


Second hypothesis is to look for companies whose managements were committed to pare debt with better free cash flows from core operations and willingness to sell non-core assets that would release a lot of capital and improve return ratios for shareholders.  Tata Chemicals and Century Textiles are examples of this.  The idea was always that core business was supporting the valuations while the upside would come from non-core sale.


The third hypothesis is always look out for mispricing i.e. when the market believes that current prevailing scenario will last for ever !!!  In these times, one gets to buy asset backed companies at really cheap valuations.  Tata Steel and Hindustan Zinc are such investments we have made.


Additionally, there are some well identified and unique stocks that have done exceedingly well like Birla Corp, Heidelberg Cement, Kansai Nerolac, SH Kelkar etc.
