Scheme Name Change after Recategorisation

When investors sit to review their mutual fund schemes, they will notice some of the schemes that they held have merged or their names have changed.

1. Why have names of some mutual fund schemes changed?

Names of some equity and debt mutual fund schemes have changed as fund houses align them to comply with the directives of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). As per the mandate, a fund house can offer 10 types of equity funds, 16 categories of bond schemes, and 6 categories of hybrid funds. In addition to this, they can also have index funds, fund of funds and other solution based schemes.

2. What is the outcome of this SEBI ruling?

Based on this mandate by the regulator, fund houses have completed the exercise of re-categorisation of their existing open-ended equity mutual fund schemes. Consequently investors will notice names of some schemes have changed, while some have merged.

3. What should investors do now?

This exercise by fund houses has come to an end. Investors will now have to see the impact of this on their portfolio and readjust them in line with their asset allocation. For example, if an investor holds a large-cap fund which post reclassification becomes a large and mid cap fund, could see his large cap allocation go down and mid-cap go up. Many mutual funds have just changed or altered the name to comply with the regulatory requirement. In such a case one could stay put in the scheme. Financial planners believe investors should not rush to make changes to their portfolios immediately. They should also keep in mind the taxation impact and exit load impact before rushing to make changes to their portfolio. As funds move to the defined categories, merge schemes, investors will have to see the overall impact on their equity and debt portfolios. They will have to recalculate their exposure to large-cap, mid-cap or multi-cap schemes and decide whether they need to make any changes to tune their portfolio in line with the new classification.

What Bond Yields tell Investor?

What Bond Yields tell us?

The big difference between debt and equity market is that the former is less volatile. However, in the last one month, bond markets have been volatile in response to various announcements including the low government borrowing plan, high crude oil prices, lower than expected FPI (Foreign Portfolio Investment) limit and lower inflation forecast announced by the RBI in its latest Monetary Policy meeting. To name of few above all, the RBI has allowed banks to spread provisioning for mark-to-market (MTM) losses incurred during December 2017 and March 2018 equally over up to four quarters.

This news, collectively, has had an impact on the bond markets and pushed bond yields up and down significantly.

Why Bond Yields Increase?

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had said foreign portfolio investors could buy up to 1 percentage point more in government bonds, but in two stages, in 2018-19. The rise in the limit was less than what the market expected which had upset bond markets and yields shot up. While yields were firming up, the indicative calendar for state development loans came as a shock to the bond market. The calendar showed states would be borrowing Rs 1.15-1.28 trillion in the first quarter, way higher than the usual borrowing plan of Rs 700 billion. Oversupply of bonds had pulled down demand for bonds and prices fell. Needless to say, yields moved up.

Oil prices reached a fresh three-year high. Since the last few months, oil prices have been inching up. India, imports about 80 per cent of the oil it uses. Rise in oil prices push fiscal deficits and therefore government needs to raise funds from the market by way of issuing more bonds which will curtail demand for the existing bonds. In anticipation of this bond prices have declined and yield moved up.
