Mutual Fund Basics

Mutual Fund Sahi Hai…but not all! To find a right Mutual Fund, you need to look at 3 things,

1. Quality of the Underlying Assets, and the risks the Fund is carrying; and how does it compare to its Benchmark.

2. Consistency of Returns generated compared to the Benchmark. Investors enter a Mutual Fund at different times, and hold it for different period. A Sahi Fund needs to deliver consistent returns immaterial of when the investor has entered the Fund. Off course provided, s/he holds it for a reasonable period of time.

3. Fund’s Expense Ratio in comparison to the total excess returns it has generated over its Benchmark. It has to justify, our investment and paying the fees.

We, at MoneyWorks4me, generate scores for each of these parameters, based on that the overall score for each MF; and then rank them within a category to find the Sahi funds.

We have colour-coded Mutual Funds as Green, Orange & Red, so you can easily identify the Sahi ones.

Raymond Moses (Founder, MoneyWorks4me) explaining, why one has to review the funds one has invested in are doing from time to time

Why you need to review the Underlying Asset Quality in a Fund, and not leave everything to its Fund Manager.

It’s best explained thru’ a Sufi story.

Once there was a Master who was traveling with one of his Disciples. In the night, they arrived, tired, to a caravanserai. It was the Disciple’s job to take care of the camel. But instead of tying it; he left it loose. And, started praying to God, “Please God, look after the camel” and, promptly fell asleep. In the morning the camel was gone. The Master came and asked: “What happened to the camel? Where is the camel?” The Disciple said “I don’t know. You ask the God. I had told the God to take care of the camel, and I was very tired, I slept. Now don’t look at me with anger. Because, you have only taught me to trust the God, so I trusted. The Master said, “Trust in the God, but tether your camel first — because the God has no other hands than yours!”

In MF investments, the camel is the money and the God is the Mutual Fund Manager. And, the solution is the same, tether the camel first, and then trust the God. So, what is tethering the camel in MF investing? It is looking at Quality of Underlying Assets, because that’s what gives us the returns.

One important difference between the story and real life MF investing is that the Fund Managers are not God. They cannot always predict or manage uncertain future. And, it we will be very naïve of us and foolish of us if we are going to believe that they are always looking at our best interest.

So, what do we do, tether your camel once again! That is, review the investments you have made in Mutual Funds from time to time

Raymond Moses (Founder, MoneyWorks4me) explaining, looking at past returns and investing in today’s top performers is grossly inadequate. It’s like driving a car by looking only at the rear–view mirror! In the upcoming series of Posts, we'll share the Sahi Way to Invest in Mutual Funds.

As an Investor, you need to get answers to 3 questions before taking a decision.

1. Sahi Fund: Find if a Fund is investment-worthy within its category based on its Underlying Asset Quality, Risks, Returns Performance and Expense Ratio.

2. Sahi Price: If the likely future 3 years CAGR for a Mutual Fund, at the current price, is more than that of its Benchmark and Liquid Bees (FD), then it’s the Right Price to invest at.

3. Sahi Allocation: A Sahi Mutual Fund is Sahi for you only when it complements your existing portfolio to ensure a diversified portfolio to reduce risk while enhancing returns.

Ketan Gujarathi (Equity Analyst, MoneyWorks4me) explaining, how one can find if the Fund Returns good enough

Fund Returns is the returns generated by the Fund. If the Fund has done better than Benchmark, we colour-code it as Green or if it's less it is Red. Benchmark sometimes may give negative returns. However, if the Fund performance is less negative than the Benchmark, it is considered as good, and hence colour-coded as Green.

To pick a Right Fund, you have to see whether the Fund is consistently better than its Benchmark. That is why; we have colour-coded Fund Returns of 10 years. If it is mostly Green then it’s a Right Fund.
