Real life story: Rs.15 lakh become Rs.1.50 crore in mutual funds in 15 years

A real-life case study 

This happened a few years back when a villager approached Coimbatore MFD Ramprabu, to seek his views on putting Rs.30 lakh in real estate to create a legacy for his three daughters. 

The client came through referral and was keen on buying a piece of land with this money.

Interestingly, Ramprabu did not stop this client to invest in real estate; instead, Ramprabu educated him about the long-term benefits of investing in mutual funds and advised him to put 50% each in mutual funds and real estate.

While the client liked the idea of investing in mutual funds, he did not invest his money as he had no clarity on returns. 

However, Ramprabu persistently followed up with the client and educated him continuously about the benefits of mutual funds. 

Finally, after four months of discussion, the client invested Rs.15 lakh each in mutual funds and real estate.

Surprisingly, after 15 years, when this client tried to sell his land, which was valued at Rs.40 lakh, he was unable to find any buyer. 

However, he was amazed to see that his Rs.15 lakh in mutual funds had grown to Rs.1.50 crore. 

He now regrets his decision of putting Rs.15 lakh in real estate.

Recognising Ramprabu’s efforts in creating a big difference in clients’ life, Axis MF and Cafemutual came together to celebrate the extraordinary work and accomplishments of MFDs through Sanjeevani MFD Awards 2023 at Cafemutual Ideas Fest. 

The awards felicitated eight inspiring MFDs who are ‘Sanjeevani’ for their clients and have become an indispensable part of their lives.

Talking about this, Ramprabu told Cafemutual that he met this client several times to build trust. 

“It took four months to close to deal. However, I never gave up and followed up with him constantly.”

Another thing that played a key role in converting this client was advising the client to invest a portion in mutual funds.  

In my experience, MFDs should never tell clients that they are wrong

But clients do not want to hear this. Instead, MFDs should ask clients to start investing in mutual funds with 50-60% of the total investible corpus. 

This makes them receptive to your ideas.”

Narrating the story further, Ramprabu said that the client saw his investment portfolio fall by 40% after 6 months of investment and the value remained flat for another 3 years. 

This client approached me to redeem his money from mutual funds after six months of investments. 

However, I told him to have patience and stay invested for at least 10 years

I met him several times to keep his confidence alive in mutual funds and handhold him during difficult times. 

As a result, when this client came to know about value of his investment, he thanked me and told his daughters to invest with me. 

Today, I am managing the wealth of the entire family.”

Giving us some pieces of advice to acquire clients from villages, Ramprabu said that MFDs should first build relationship with rural people before onboarding them as clients. 

He said that MFDs can reach out to prospective clients in rural areas through referrals and education sessions.

He also believes that MFDs should make repeated efforts to educate such clients.

“Have patience, it may take more than 6 months to convert rural clients. 

But once they come onboard, they remain invested for life.”

WHAT IS MUTUAL FUND? AN OVERVIEW

 What is a Mutual fund ?

If you are looking for a way to grow your money and achieve your financial goals, you might have considered investing in mutual funds.

But what are mutual funds and how do they work?

In this blog post, we will explain the different types of mutual funds, their advantages and disadvantages, and how they compare to other investment options like bank deposits and stock market.

Mutual funds are pools of money collected from many investors and invested in various securities like stocks, bonds, money market instruments, etc. by a professional fund manager.

The fund manager decides which securities to buy and sell based on the investment objective and strategy of the fund. The investors get units of the fund that represent their share of the fund's portfolio.

The value of each unit is called the net asset value (NAV) and it changes daily based on the performance of the underlying securities in the Stock Market.

 

There are different types of mutual funds based on their asset class, investment objective, risk profile, maturity period, etc. Some of the common types are:

- Equity funds:

These funds invest mainly in stocks of companies across different sectors, sizes, and geographies. They aim to generate capital appreciation over the long term by benefiting from the growth potential of the stock market. They are suitable for investors who have a high risk appetite and a long investment horizon.

- Debt funds:

These funds invest mainly in fixed income securities like bonds, debentures, treasury bills, etc. They aim to provide regular income and capital preservation by earning interest from the securities. They are suitable for investors who have a low to moderate risk appetite and a short to medium investment horizon.

- Hybrid funds:

These funds invest in a mix of equity and debt securities in varying proportions. They aim to balance risk and return by diversifying across different asset classes. They are suitable for investors who have a moderate risk appetite and a medium to long investment horizon.

- Money market funds:

These funds invest in very short-term debt securities like commercial papers, certificates of deposit, etc. They aim to provide liquidity and safety by earning interest from the securities. They are suitable for investors who have a very low risk appetite and a very short investment horizon.

 

- Index funds:

These funds invest in the same securities and in the same proportion as a specific market index like Nifty 50 or Sensex. They aim to replicate the performance of the index by passively tracking its movements. They are suitable for investors who want to invest in the broad market without active fund management.

- Sector funds:

These funds invest in stocks of companies belonging to a specific sector like banking, IT, pharma, etc. They aim to capitalize on the growth potential of the sector by taking concentrated bets. They are suitable for investors who have a high risk appetite and a strong conviction about the sector.

- Thematic funds:

These funds invest in stocks of companies that are related to a specific theme like infrastructure, consumption, environment, etc. They aim to benefit from the long-term trends and opportunities in the theme by taking diversified bets. They are suitable for investors who have a high risk appetite and a long-term vision about the theme.

 

Advantages of investing in Mutual funds

One of the main advantages of investing in mutual funds is that they offer diversification across different securities, sectors, and themes.

This reduces the risk of losing money due to poor performance of one or few securities.

Another advantage is that they offer professional fund management by experts who have access to research, analysis, and tools to make informed investment decisions. This saves time and effort for investors who may not have the knowledge or resources to do so themselves.

Another advantage is that they offer flexibility and convenience for investors who can choose from a wide range of mutual funds based on their risk profile, investment objective, time horizon, etc.

Investors can also start investing with as low as Rs 500 per month through systematic investment plans (SIPs) or withdraw their money anytime through systematic withdrawal plans (SWPs). Investors can also switch between different mutual funds within the same fund house without any tax implications.

Mutual funds also offer transparency and accountability for investors who can track their portfolio performance, NAVs, holdings, expenses, etc. through regular statements and reports provided by the fund house or online platforms.

Mutual funds are also regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) which ensures that they follow certain rules and guidelines to protect investor interests.

Mutual funds can also help investors save tax by investing in certain categories like equity-linked saving schemes (ELSS) which offer tax deduction under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act or debt funds which offer indexation benefit for long-term capital gains tax

 

 

How patience influence investement in Mutual fund?

 

Investing in mutual funds is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It requires patience, perseverance, and optimism to achieve your financial goals.

 

Why patience is important for mutual fund investors?

 

Patience is the ability to wait calmly for something without getting restless or anxious. It is a virtue that can help you overcome many challenges in life, including investing. Here are some reasons why patience is important for mutual fund investors:

- Patience helps you ignore short-term market fluctuations and focus on long-term performance.

The stock market is volatile and unpredictable in the short run.

It can be influenced by various factors such as economic conditions, political events, corporate earnings, global news, etc. These factors can cause the prices of stocks and mutual funds to fluctuate daily, weekly, or monthly.

However, these fluctuations do not reflect the true value or potential of the underlying companies or sectors. If you are patient and do not react to every market movement, you can avoid making impulsive decisions based on emotions such as fear or greed.

Instead, you can focus on the long-term performance of your mutual funds and their ability to generate consistent returns over time.

- Patience helps you benefit from the power of compounding. Compounding is the process of earning interest on interest or returns on returns. It is one of the most powerful forces in investing that can help you multiply your wealth over time. However, compounding works best when you invest for a long period and reinvest your earnings. If you are patient and stay invested for years or decades, you can benefit from the exponential growth of your money.

For example, if you invest Rs 10,000 in a mutual fund that gives 12% annual return and reinvest your earnings, you will have Rs 31,058 after 10 years, Rs 96,463 after 20 years, and Rs 2,99,599 after 30 years.

However, if you withdraw your earnings every year or switch your funds frequently, you will miss out on the compounding effect and end up with much less money.

- Patience helps you avoid timing the market and follow a disciplined approach. Timing the market is the act of trying to predict the best time to buy or sell stocks or mutual funds based on market trends or forecasts. It is a risky and futile strategy that can result in losses or missed opportunities. No one can accurately predict the future direction of the market or its movements. Even professional fund managers and analysts can make mistakes or miss out on some opportunities.

 

Instead of timing the market, it is better to follow a disciplined approach of investing regularly and systematically in mutual funds through SIPs (Systematic Investment Plans).

SIPs allow you to invest a fixed amount every month or quarter in a mutual fund of your choice. This way, you can average out your cost of purchase and benefit from rupee cost averaging. You can also take advantage of market dips and buy more units at lower prices.


Canara Robeco Flexi Cap fund
Launched on 10.09.2003.

After 20 years the fund has shown a NAV of Rs 213.54

ie 500000 invested in 2003 stand now at
Rs 1,06,77,000.

You read it correct. It is one crore six lakhs
A reward for your patience for 20 years.

ie Almost 20 times your money could grow for the investment made in Mutual fund with a goal and have patience.

 

How to develop patience as a mutual fund investor?

Patience is not something that comes naturally to everyone. It is a skill that can be developed and improved with practice and awareness. Here are some tips to help you develop patience as a mutual fund investor:

- Have a clear financial goal and a realistic investment plan.

Before investing in mutual funds, you should have a clear idea of why you are investing and what you want to achieve with your money. You should also have a realistic investment plan that suits your risk profile, time horizon, and return expectations.

Having a goal and a plan will help you stay focused and motivated throughout your investment journey.

- Do your research and choose your mutual funds wisely. Not all mutual funds are created equal. Some may perform better than others depending on various factors such as fund manager's expertise, investment strategy, portfolio composition, expense ratio, etc.

Therefore, you should do your homework and choose your mutual funds wisely based on their past performance, risk-return profile, consistency, ratings, reviews, etc. You should also diversify your portfolio across different types of mutual funds such as equity, debt, hybrid, etc., to reduce your risk and optimize your returns.

Instead you can contact your personal Wealth Advisor, a Mutual Fund distributor who is expertise in counselling and giving advice to choose the best fund for you. Moreover he is Registered under AMFI( Association of Mutual Funds of India) which governs and monitor those advisors/Distributors for providing you correct advice which is beneficial for the investors.

- Monitor your portfolio periodically but do not obsess over it. It is important to control the urge to withdraw the money before your Goal is reached , if you do not have the dire necessity.

The return calculated above is @ 12 % , but most mutual funds perform more than 12% and some crossing 20 % also.

Economic Scenario

Why to choose mutual funds over other investment options?

1.       Bank Deposits does not match inflation . It affects the real rate of return.

2.       Stock Markets are highly volatile and very high expertise is needed , even then the risk of loosing capital is unavoidable.

3.       Bonds and Savings schemes offer a better return ,but not at par with Mutual fund . More so the lock in period affects the liquidity if case of emergency

4.       Gold also is highly volatile and lower than the Mutual funds.

All the above issues addressed in investing in mutual funds , and it is the best investment option suggested for Long term as well as short term goals .

2. ஒரு கனவு வீடு
3. குடும்பத்திற்கு  ஒரு அருமையான வாகனம்

IS DEBT FUND LOSING ITS SHEEN ?

The recent amendment to the Finance Bill, 2023, has brought a major change in the taxation of debt mutual funds. 



The amendment proposes to abolish the long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax benefit for debt mutual funds held for more than three years and bring them on par with other fixed-income investments such as bank deposits and insurance policies. 

This also means that the indexation benefit that was available to debt mutual fund investors will no longer be applicable.


What is indexation benefit?


Indexation benefit is a way of adjusting the cost of acquisition of an asset for inflation. 

This reduces the taxable capital gain and hence the tax liability. 

For example, if an investor bought a debt mutual fund for Rs 1 lakh in 2020 and sold it for Rs 1.2 lakh in 2023, the nominal capital gain would be Rs 20,000. 

However, if the investor applies indexation benefit, the cost of acquisition would be increased by the inflation rate for each year. Assuming an inflation rate of 5% per year, the cost of acquisition would be Rs 1.16 lakh in 2023. 
Therefore, the indexed capital gain would be only Rs 4,000 and the tax liability would be Rs 800 (20% of Rs 4,000).
(ie) Instead of a Tax on 20000= basing on the tax payers slab , if 30% slab , he will pay Rs 6000/= as tax , but withindecation benefit  invester can pay just Rs 800/= as tax. 

How will the amendment affect debt mutual fund investors?

The amendment will take away the indexation benefit for debt mutual fund investors and make them pay tax on the nominal capital gain at their slab rate. 

This will increase their tax liability and reduce their post-tax returns. For example, if an investor falls in the 30% tax bracket and sells a debt mutual fund after three years for a nominal capital gain of Rs 20,000, he/she will have to pay Rs 6,000 as tax (30% of Rs 20,000) instead of Rs 800 as per the previous rule.

The amendment will also reduce the attractiveness of debt mutual funds as compared to other fixed-income investments such as bank deposits and insurance policies. 

Earlier, debt mutual funds had an edge over these investments in terms of post-tax returns due to indexation benefit. Now, they will be taxed at par with them.

What should debt mutual fund investors do?
The amendment will come into effect from April 1, 2023, and will apply to investments made on or after that date. Therefore, investors who have already invested in debt mutual funds for more than three years can still avail the indexation benefit if they sell their units before March 31, 2023. 

However, they should also consider other factors such as exit load, market conditions and their financial goals before taking any decision.

Investors who are planning to invest in debt mutual funds after April 1, 2023, should be aware of the new tax implications and choose their schemes accordingly. They should also compare the post-tax returns of debt mutual funds with other fixed-income alternatives and invest in the ones that suit their risk profile and time horizon.

Debt mutual funds are still a viable option for investors who want to diversify their portfolio, earn regular income and benefit from professional fund management. However, they should also factor in the tax aspect and make informed choices.

SYSTEMATIC INVESTEMENT - AN EASY WAY TO CREATE WEALTH


Systematic Investment Plan

If you want to invest in mutual funds but don't have a lot of money or time to research different schemes, a systematic investment plan (SIP) might be a good option for you.

A SIP is a plan in which you invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals (such as monthly or quarterly) into a mutual fund of your choice.

This way, you can save regularly with a smaller amount of money and benefit from the power of compounding and Rupee-cost averaging.


 

What is compounding?

It is the process of earning interest on your interest.

For example, if you invest Rs100 at 10% annual interest,

after one year you will have Rs110.

After two years, you will have Rs121 (Rs110 + 10% of Rs110).

After three years, you will have Rs133.10 (Rs121 + 10% of Rs121).

And so on. As you can see, your money grows faster over time because of compounding.

 

What is Rupee-cost averaging?

It is the strategy of buying more units when the price is low and fewer units when the price is high.

For example, if you invest Rs100 every month into a mutual fund that has a unit price of Rs10 in January,

Rs8 in February, and

Rs12 in March,

you will buy 10 units in January,

12.5 units in February,

and 8.33 units in March. Y

our average cost per unit will be Rs 9.73 (Rs300 / 30.83 units).

Value of your holdings will be 30.83 (10+12.50+8.33)  X Rs 12 ( Present Net Asset Value) =369.96.  ie an appreciation of Rs 69.96 for an investment of Rs 300/= .

This way, you can lower your average cost over time.



 

You can invest in different  types of SIPs that suit different investor needs and to add more value . Some common types suggested are:

- Top-up SIP: This type allows you to increase your investment amount periodically. This can help you boost your returns and reach your goals faster.

Flexible SIP: This type allows you to increase or decrease your investment amount depending on your cash flow situation. This can help you adjust your investments according to your income and expenses.

Step-down SIP: This type allows you to decrease your investment amount periodically. This can help you reduce your exposure to risk as you approach your goal or retirement age.

Trigger SIP: This type allows you to set certain triggers (such as market index level, date, event) that will automatically change your investment amount or switch between schemes. This can help you take advantage of market opportunities and protect your gains.

 


To start a SIP, all you need is an online account with a mutual fund platform or an app like NJ E Wealth. Contact an AMFI Certified Mutual Fund Distributor as below for free online councelling and if required a Personal Contact .

You can choose from thousands of schemes across different categories (such as equity, debt, hybrid) and select the one that matches your risk profile and goal horizon. You can also use online tools like SIP calculators to estimate how much money you need to invest and how much return you can expect from your SIP.

A SIP is a simple and smartest way to invest in mutual funds for beginners as well as experienced investors. It helps you build discipline, diversify your portfolio, reduce volatility, and achieve long-term wealth creation.

WHAT IS 15 X 15 X 15 RULE IN MUTUAL FUND


 How to Become a Crorepati with the Rule of 15 in Mutual Fund Investments


If you are looking for a simple and effective way to achieve your long-term financial goals, you might want to consider the rule of 15 in mutual fund investments. This rule is based on the power of compounding and can help you accumulate a substantial amount of wealth over time.


What is the Rule of 15?


The rule of 15 states that if you invest Rs. 15,000 per month via SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) in an equity mutual fund that can generate an average annual return of 15%, you can become a crorepati (a person with assets worth at least Rs. 10 million) in 15 years . This means that by investing a total of Rs. 27 lakh over 15 years, you can get a corpus of Rs. 1 crore at maturity.


How Does it Work?


The rule of 15 works on the principle of compounding, which means that your returns are reinvested and earn more returns over time. The longer you stay invested, the more your money grows exponentially. For example, if you invest Rs. 15,000 per month for one year at 15% annual return, you will have Rs. 1.95 lakh at the end of the year. But if you continue investing for another year, you will have Rs. 4.49 lakh at the end of two years. And if you keep investing for 15 years, you will have Rs. 1 crore at the end.


What are the Benefits?


The rule of 15 has several benefits for investors who want to achieve their long-term financial goals such as retirement, children's education or marriage, buying a house or car etc.


- It is simple and easy to follow: You just need to invest a fixed amount every month in an equity mutual fund that can deliver consistent returns over time.

- It is flexible and convenient: You can choose any mutual fund scheme that suits your risk profile and investment objective. You can also increase or decrease your SIP amount as per your income and expenses.

- It is tax-efficient: The returns from equity mutual funds are tax-free if held for more than one year. This means that you don't have to pay any tax on your capital gains when you redeem your units after achieving your goal.

- It is rewarding: The rule of 15 can help you create wealth faster than other traditional investment options such as fixed deposits or recurring deposits which offer lower returns and are taxable.


How to Start?


If you want to start following the rule of 15 in mutual fund investments, here are some steps that you need to take:


- Choose an equity mutual fund scheme that has a good track record of performance and matches your risk appetite and investment horizon.

- Start an SIP with an amount that you can afford to invest every month without compromising on your essential expenses.

- Stay invested for at least 15 years or till you reach your goal without withdrawing or stopping your SIPs.

- Review your portfolio periodically and make necessary changes if required.


Conclusion


The rule of 15 in mutual fund investments is a simple yet powerful way to achieve your long-term financial goals by harnessing the power of compounding. By investing regularly and patiently in an equity mutual fund scheme that can generate high returns over time, you can become a crorepati.

IDEAS FOR BUYING A HOUSE THROUGH MUTUAL FUND INVESTMENTS


 - Invest in a balanced fund that offers a mix of equity and debt exposure. This can help you achieve both growth and stability in your portfolio, while reducing the risk of market fluctuations. A balanced fund can also provide regular income through dividends or interest payments, which can be used to save for your down payment or mortgage payments.


- Invest in a sectoral fund that focuses on the real estate industry. This can help you benefit from the growth potential of the housing market, as well as diversify your portfolio from other sectors. A sectoral fund can also offer higher returns than a diversified fund, if you have a strong conviction about the performance of the real estate sector.


- Invest in an index fund that tracks a broad market index such as the S&P 500 or the Nifty 50. This can help you gain exposure to a large number of companies across various sectors and industries, while keeping your costs low and minimizing your tracking error. An index fund can also offer consistent returns over the long term, which can help you achieve your goal of buying a house.
