How To Become Rich Through Mutual Funds

Mutual funds are very easy tools of wealth creation in a period of time If you adopt a disciplined approach in mutual fund investing then you easily become rich in 10-20 year.

   Today I told you a tested method of wealth creation through mutual funds In this method you require one simple thing ‘’ SAVE 5% OF YOUR EARNINGS ‘’ it mean if your salary is 10000 per month then save only 5% of 10000 (500 rupees)in mutual fund SIP and increase this amount if your salary is increase. 

For example you start a SIP from 500 rupees per month and after 1 year your salary is 12000 rupees then your 5% saving is of 12000 means 600. 

So now increase your monthly SIP amount from 500 to 600 rupees per month. I think saving only 5 % from income is a very easy task it means if you earn 100 rupee then save 5 rupee and spent 95 rupee in your lifestyle maintenance. 

Now I give you a detail illustration that Mr shiv some Sharma was start his job in July 1996 in sale tax department as a clerk and that time his salary was INR 2500 per month. he start save only 5% amount of his salary ( it is INR 125 per month) so he make a SIP in SBI magnum multiplier lius plan 1993 ( this is a real story which inspire me to write this article). 

Now in 2014 he is a accountant and get 31000 per month salary so his salary in increase@15% per annum. He continue save 5% of his salary and invest this amount in above mutual fund scheme (in last of this article I give you a excel file where I show a estimated illustration.). 

SBI magnum multiplier plus give 21.24% annualized return on SIP investment if we divided it from 12 then monthly growth rate is 1.77% Now total value of his holding in near 7 lacks . Since last 18 year of his saving whenever he need money he take it as a loan from his own bank ( Yes he say this is my saving is my bank which give me interest free loan) In September 2004 he want to buy a bike and his holding cost is near 50,000 in September 2004 he sell some of his mutual fund units and get 30,000 ( in 2004 market price of a good bike is 30,000) for his bike. 

Now he assume that he take a interest free loan from his own bank he divided it in 60 installments 30000/60=500 per month now he add additional 500 in his monthly SIP amount means 5 % of his salary + 500 bike loan repaying amount. When he repay his bike loan from his mutual fund saving in September 2009 he again get a loan of 150000 from his saving and buy a residential plot from this 150000 and as I told you earlier he divided this 150000 from 60 as his loan installment 150000/60=2500 per month and repay this 150000 in 60 installments of INR 2500. 

Now his fund value is near 7 lacks and he plan to buy a Maruti swift car from taking a loan of 7 lacks from his own bank of this saving. 

It is also interesting to knew that market value of his residential plot is increase from 150000 to 10,00,000 in last 5 year which he buy from his mutual fund saving.

Top 3 ELSS Mutual Funds In India

These days I receive many e mails from my followers about best ELSS in India.
In our Union budget 2014 Tax Rebate on 80 G is Raise from 1 lak to 1.5 lak per year so this is best time to invest 40,000 to 60,000 Annually in ELSS for tax rebate or long term equity benefits.
So in this article I tell you top 3 ELSS funds in India.

In my theory make a 1000-1000 rupees per month SIP in each of these ELSS for a wide divercified ELSS portfolio.
If You Follow my method of ELSS investing then:-

• Your investment is diversified in  3 largest Indian ELSS , because If you read my book then you may knew that I always recommended mutual fund  scheme with largest corpus size.
• All of my mutual fund holdings are in Dividend fund because In ELSS there are a 3 year lock in period for units but you may enjoy dividends from first year.
• So when you invest in all of these 3 top equity linked saving schemes in India and each fund declare dividend once a year then you may enjoy 3 dividends per year in your lock in period.

So here are the list of top 3 ELSS funds 2014-2015
1.SBI Magnum Tax Gain Scheme (D):- This is my all time favorite ELSS, Because this fund is still largest corpus size in ELSS group and wide dividend paying history since last 10 year this fund pay 2.70 to 15 rupee per unit dividend (per year) So I will make a INR 1000  per month SIP in this fund for tax gain and tax free dividends+long term capital gain. 
2.HDFC Tax Saver (D):-This fund is second largest corpus size in ELSS group and wide dividend paying history since last 18 year this fund pay 2.00 to 8 rupee per unit dividend (per year) So I will make a INR1000 to 2000 per month SIP in this fund for tax gain and tax free dividends+long term capital gain. 
3.ICICI Prudential Tax Plan (D):- Third largest AUM and since last 11 year pay 1.2 Rupee to 5 rupee dividend per unit per year.
Choose dividend reinvestment instead of dividend payout for reason read this article:-
Which is best in dividend payout and dividend reinvestment?

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) In India

What is REIT ( Define REIT)

REIT means Real Estate Investment Trusts, these trust works like a company which invest directly in land, house property, commercial property and other real estate.

The REIT was designed to provide a real estate investment fund just like a mutual funds. 

How REIT Work:-REIT is  like a mutual fund which invest in property and REIT unit holder get benefits like a partner of landholder

Difference in Mutual funds and REIT 

REIT funds provide direct investment in property Mutual funds provide for investment in stocks. 

Benefits of REIT funds. 

REITs are just like of mutual funds they collect money from investors and invest this money in property. If anyone want to invest in property then he/she require a higher amount but he/she can enjoy same benefits by buying REIT units in just INR 10 only. 

(REITs) In India. 

In union budget of 2014 Indian Government decided to start REIT in India.

This will attract foreign investment in Indian real estate sector and give a chance to every middle class Indian family to invest in property field.  This is the reason that why I am so bullish on realty sector stocks read my sharegenius blog or fundamental Indian stocks website for more details

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) approved the setting up of real estate investment trusts (REITs), 

Indian REITs will be allowed to invest only in commercial properties.

SEBI  also approved allowing infrastructure investment trusts IIT (infrastructure investment trusts) is a REIT-like structure that would allow developers to monetize their infrastructure assets through  stock exchange listing. 

Top REITs in India:- Real Estate Investment Trusts not start in India yet they only get SEBI approval and may start in November 2014 to January 2015

Smart Systematic Investment Approach In Mutual Funds

1. Stock market is traded on his all time highs and at this time new investor fear to make a new SIP in mutual fund.

2. Many of my friends & co-workers  ask me that " It is safe to make a new SIP in this time? As I always recommended that you must continue make fresh investments in smart stocks or mutual funds in any market condition ( In my book I already describe that how to choose a smart stock for long term or Indian investor may get help from my website www.maheshkaushik.com ).

3. So in this line I also recommended to make a Smart SIP in any market situation So today I tell my blog readers that how to make a Smart SIP in mutual funds.( Read this article carefully it may change your financial life in long term)

4. For this purpose I Choose " HDFC TOP 200 (G) " as an Example fund to explain you my formula of smart SIP.

5. Suppose you we want to invest 5000 per month in this fund.

6. Ok first month invest whole 5000 in currant NAV .

7. Next month see value of your holding suppose market is up and your portfolio value is 5463 in next month so you are in profit of 463

8. Calculate your profits in percentage term, It is 9.26 %

9. Reduce new month investment amount as per this percentage , so in second month your investment amount is 5000-463 (9.26% of 5000)=4537

10. Next month again see your profit /loss percentage, If you are in loss then increase your investment amount 5000 to 5000+ (net loss percentage of 5000). suppose your portfolio is in 3.5% loss then your fresh investment amount is 5000+ 3.5% of 5000= 5000+175=5175 and If you are in profit then decrease your fresh investment amount 5000 to 5000- (net profit percentage of 5000). suppose your portfolio is in 4.5% profit then your fresh investment amount is 5000- 4.5% of 5000= 5000-225=4775

11. This formula is automatic reduce your SIP amount when market is up and automatic increase your SIP amount when market is down.

12. So this Smart SIP is beaten down any classical SIP where SIP amount is always constant in any market condition.

13. OK at last i tell you reply of one interesting question , when I tell this formula in one investor meeting then a investor ask me what happen if we are in 100 % profit? Will we close this smart SIP after 100 % profit? because as per this formula after 100% profit fresh investment amount is 0.

In reply of this question I tell " please do not forget our formula of profit booking in a mutual fund SIP, Run both formula on your investments and Partially book profits in your SIP when your profit is up to 11 %". 

If you not read my book or my earlier article about mutual fund profit booking then read it here

CENTRAL PUBLIC SECTOR ENTERPRISES ETF ( CPSE ETF ) REVIEW

1. Goldman Sachs launches CENTRAL PUBLIC SECTOR ENTERPRISES ETF ( CPSE ETF ) at 18 March 2014 and NFO closes at 21 March 2014. 
2. Goldman Sachs central public sector enterprises ETF ( CPSE ETF ) is based on CPSE index which contains India largest 10 public sector companies. 
3. Before we continue here are the detail constitution of CPSE index 
ONGC 26.72% 
GAIL 18.48% 
Coal india 17.75% 
Reral electrification corporation ltd 7.16% 
Oil india ltd 7.04 % 
Indian oil corporation ltd 6.82 % 
Power finance corporation ltd 6.49% 
Container corporation of india ltd 6.40% 
Bharat electronics ltd 2%
 Engeniers india ltd 1.13% 
4. Government plan to rise 3000 crore from this ETF this is a new style of disinvestment because in currant scenario of Indian political corruption no one like to buy a stake in public sector companies. 
5. For attracting funds govt declare 5 % flat discount for all investors it means unit allocated you at discount of 5% from reference market price of underlying CPSE index. 
6. Other new concept is loyalty bonus which is a new concept for Indian markets in loyalty bonus if you hold this ETF units from allocation date to one year then government may give 1 extra loyalty bonus unit for every 15 units held. 
7. Currant dividend yeild for CPSE indiex is near 3.77% 
8. So if we invest in this ETF we get 5 % immidiate discount 3.77 % dividend yeild 6.67 % loyalty bonus That’s great because generally I do not sell stocks below 1 year so if we hold it and sell after getting loyalty bonus of 6.67% then we may get income tax free return ( capital gain tax after one year holding is nil ) 
9. Generally I do not like public sector companies but my view is positive for this CPSE ETF because it may be diversified my portfolio in navaratna nad miniratna govt companies because my currant holding in govt companies is nil and if any nationalist party win this election and if our economy feel good after a new nationalist govt then returns in this fund are unbelievable.

How to Invest in European Markets with Indian Mutual Funds?

1. These day 2 New mutual fund NFO in launch in indian market which invest in european stock markets. 
2. Actually these 2 funds are fund of funds means they not invest directly in european markets they invest in european mutual funds. 
3. these 2 new NFO are Religare Invesco Pan European Equity Fund and JPMorgan Europe Dynamic Equity Offshore Fund 
4.Religare Invesco Pan European Equity Fund is an Open-ended fund of fund scheme. 
5. This fund will investing in Invesco Pan European Equity Fund (Underlying Fund) which is a Luxembourg domiciled fund, which invests primarily in equity securities of European companies . Invesco Pan European Equity Fund  launched in 1991 with assets under management of EUR 2.23bn (USD 3.03nm, INR 18,922 crores) 
 6.JP Morgan Europe Dynamic Equity Offshore Fund is also a fund of fund which invest in JP Morgan Europe Dynamic Fund 
 7. In my view i like Religare Invesco Pan European Equity Fund instead of JP Morgan Europe Dynamic Equity Offshore Fund because i already tell in point 5 that Invesco Pan European Equity Fund (Underlying Fund) is a Luxembourg domiciled fund, which invests primarily in equity securities of European companies with assets under management of EUR 2.23bn (USD 3.03nm, INR 18,922 crores) 
So due to this good track record i like this fund over JP morgan. 
8. But i did not advice you to invest directly in NFO ( New fund offer) because as my past experience say mutual fund NAV down after new NFO in 90-98% NFO So we will start a SIP in this fund if fund NAV is down below 9 after his listing.
