MF investors beat equity volatility with hybrid funds

by Hansraj Agrawal | Mar 17, 2025 | Share Market

Notwithstanding the sharp fall in equity markets, mutual fund investors are considering hybrid mutual funds to hedge their risk.

As per the latest numbers of the Association of Mutual Funds in India, data investors have pulled out ₹9.87 lakh crore in February against ₹10.30 lakh crore in January. The fresh fund mobilisation also dipped to ₹10.27 lakh crore last month, down from ₹12.17 lakh crore in January.

Similarly, redemption from hybrid category was also down at ₹21,657 crore last month against ₹26,202 crore in January this year. Fresh mobilisation in hybrid schemes was down at ₹28,461 crore against ₹34,970 crore in January.

‘Safe bet for investors’

Hybrid funds are considered the safe bet for investors sailing in choppy market conditions. Since these funds offer a diversified portfolio of equity, debt and commodities, the risk is mitigated and investors can get potentially decent returns, despite a fall in the markets.

Funds such as the Nippon India Multi Asset Fund follows a definite allocation across equity, debt and commodities to eliminate fund managers prejudice. The fund had touched a new high due to its exposure to gold.

Other hybrid funds from Samco, Edelweiss, Invesco and ICICI Prudential have also delivered positive returns in a falling market. On a YTD basis, hybrid funds return lead the pack with near double digit returns.

DD Sharma, Managing Director of leading distributor MF King, said in the current phase of financial uncertainties, right asset allocation put investors to a significant advantage and hybrid mutual funds are a versatile investment choice.

Since these funds combine multiple asset classes like equity, debt, and commodities, they allow investors to achieve the dual goal of a hedged and a diversified portfolio, he added.

Bl.Portfolio Star Track Mutual Fund Ratings: A Guide To Achieving Better Returns In Mutual Funds

by Hansraj Agrawal | Mar 15, 2025 | Share Market

The bl.portfolio Star Track Mutual Fund Ratings serves as a valuable tool for investors navigating the complex and vast mutual fund landscape. By assigning star ratings from 1 to 5 (with 5 being the best), this framework helps identify funds that consistently perform well over time, rather than those that perform better only in short periods. The ratings are based on a thorough analysis of a fund’s historical performance, considering both returns and risk. Returns are measured using rolling returns, while risk is assessed using the Sortino ratio. This dual approach ensures a balanced assessment, helping investors identify schemes that not only deliver better returns but also manage risk effectively.

No mutual fund can remain a top performer indefinitely. Therefore, investors are better off looking for funds that have consistently earned high ratings. Here, we identify such funds which have consistently aced our ratings.

Review of historical ratings

The bl.portfolio Star Track Mutual Fund Ratings was introduced in October 2018 and is updated twice a year, using data from the end of June and December. As a result, 13 sets of historical ratings have been compiled so far. Analysing this historical ratings data tells us which funds are consistent in maintaining their performance versus peers.

As of December 2024, 450 funds were considered for the rating process, an increase from 254 funds in September 2018. (Click here for the detailed methodology and exclusion criteria for the rating process). Here, the audit has been done with 254 funds with 13 sets of historical data.

Key findings

The analysis reveals that no fund achieved a five-star rating across all 13 periods. However, two funds — ICICI Pru All Seasons Bond and Aditya Birla SL Money Manager — secured five stars in 12 out of 13 periods.

In the equity funds category, only ICICI Pru Bluechip and Nippon India Small Cap consistently earned four or five stars across all periods, highlighting their ability to deliver strong, consistent returns over time. In the hybrid category, ICICI Pru Equity & Debt and ICICI Pru Regular Savings achieved similar ratings.

In the debt funds category, there were many such candidates. 10 funds — Aditya Birla SL Money Manager, ICICI Pru All Seasons Bond, SBI Magnum Gilt, SBI Magnum Income, HDFC Short Term Debt, ICICI Pru Credit Risk, Aditya Birla SL Corp Bond, Kotak Banking and PSU Debt, Axis Treasury Advantage and ICICI Pru Bond Fund — consistently secured either a five-star or four-star rating across all evaluated periods.

Expanding the analysis to include funds with three stars or higher, 96 funds (38 per cent of the 254 funds) managed to earn either a three-star, four-star, or five-star rating. Many of these funds fluctuated between three and five stars, such as Mirae Asset Large & Mid Cap, SBI Small Cap, and Kotak Emerging Equity.

About two-thirds of the funds rated two stars or lower in most periods.

How to get the best out of the ratings

For investors who often find it hard to time the market, consistency is crucial. The ratings system highlights funds that have delivered steady outperformance over time, helping investors focus on building long-term wealth instead of chasing short-term performers.

The aforementioned findings confirm that no mutual fund can stay at the top forever. Funds naturally go through ups and downs, as a result of their styles or security selection. This makes it important to review your portfolio regularly, ideally once a year, to ensure you can retain performers and weed out consistent underperformers.

When choosing funds, go for those with five-star or four-star rating. The fund selection should be in line with your asset allocation strategy based on your risk profile, time horizon and goals. If a fund you have invested in sees a temporary dip but maintains above-average ratings, it’s better to stay invested rather than selling. However, if a fund’s rating drops to two stars or below, it may be time to reconsider your investment. This balanced approach helps investors weed out poor performers while staying focused on long-term success.

Betting On Capital Market Success

by Hansraj Agrawal | Mar 15, 2025 | Share Market

Motilal Oswal launched Nifty Capital Market ETF on March 13, 2025. This fundtracks the Nifty Capital Market Index. The index has undergone a sharp correction in its very early stages and to call a bottom at this stage may be premature. The assumptions underlining the industry tailwinds can also be reassessed at this juncture.

But a fractional exposure, similar to a foot in the door, can be considered by investors with a high-risk appetite especially considering the correction and growth drivers. Though both factors can be contested, certainty and opportunity are rarely together.

Here we look at the index and other funds that are available in the sector.

Nifty Capital Market Index

The index was launched in September 2024, which incidentally was the month when indices reached their peaks and started a downward journey since then. Beyond the ominous timing, the index itself served a purpose. Indian’s savings are increasingly approaching financialisation route, beyond the traditional gold, real estate and FDs. The capital markets ecosystem was bound to benefit, and has done so.

The fund invests in 20 of the largest Nifty-500 companies that are engaged in asset management, stock broking, exchanges and data platforms, ratings agencies, depositories, distributors and other capital market services. The index currently consists of BSE (22 per cent), HDFC AMC (15 per cent), MCEX (10 per cent), and others (see table).

The index has a 5-year return (notional as the fund was launched in September 24) of 27 per cent CAGR which beats Nifty-50’s 16 per cent CAGR. Financialisation of savings, a big surge in demat accounts, SIPs, MF folios and launches have supported the industry growth in this phase. But the index is in the midst of a correction and year to date has corrected by 23 per cent compared to Nifty-50’s 6 per cent correction till Feb-28, 2025.

The focus will be on return of investing volumes to support profitability from here. The industry relies on volumes and the sector cost structure is tied to certain amount of volumes above which the companies enjoy profitability. In the upswing of last five years, the cost structure may have been anchored to erstwhile trading and investing volumes. If the market participants are slow to catch up or a section temporarily avoids investing, then the companies’ profitability will be impacted till a turnaround happens.

Other funds and investment

There are two other mutual funds covering the index, Tata Nifty Capital Markets Index Fund and Motilal Oswal Nifty Capital Market Index Fund – the AMC launching the ETF. The Tata Fund was launched in October 2024 and has declined by 21 per cent till now and MOSL fund launched in December 2024 has declined by 30 per cent till now.

The sector is clearly in correction territory and in such situations to call a bottom would most likely be premature. But investors with a long-term view and high risk appetite should consider a small exposure to the sector in the current environment. In the longer term, financialisation of savings will be the continuing theme. Powered by rising middle class and new entrants to the middle class the basic industry driver has not been dented. The rate of growth may be monitored, but the direction should be positive. The recent disruption is also an opportunity for the industry (which has only seen a bull run in the past five years) to realign its cost structures for volatility.

While further decline in capital markets sector cannot be ruled out, the current contraction can be a cautious entry point to ride the long-term drivers.

Nippon India Corporate Bond Fund: A Debt Fund With High Quality Portfolio

by Hansraj Agrawal | Mar 8, 2025 | Share Market

The Reserve Bank of India’s recent 25 basis point rate cut in its February Monetary Policy Meeting has enhanced the appeal of bonds, with expectations of further rate cuts in the months ahead. This presents a favourable opportunity for investors to secure high yields with a possibility of capital appreciation from high-quality debt instruments. Corporate bond spreads are currently the most attractive in the 3 to 4 year bucket.

For those with a 3-5-year investment horizon, the Nippon India Corporate Bond Fund stands out as a notable option. Investing in top-tier AAA-rated PSU and corporate bonds, the fund provides an opportunity to achieve higher yields compared to government securities (G-Secs), along with potential gains in a declining rate environment.

Why corporate bond funds?

Global interest rates seem to have peaked out, with many central banks either on hold or well into the rate-cutting phase. The RBI may also consider further rate cuts, given the easing inflation trajectory, slower economic growth and prudent fiscal policies. This could unlock capital appreciation opportunities driven by rate reductions. Highly rated corporate bonds are a good way to benefit from this.

The spreads between AAA-rated corporate bonds and similar G-secs have widened from 40-50 basis points (bps) to 70-90 bps in recent months for 3-5 year tenor, driven by decreased G-sec supply and tight liquidity. Corporate balance sheets in India are also in good shape with leading companies sitting on low leverage. Corporate bond funds, which primarily invest in AAA-rated bonds, henceforth offer a compelling investment option.

High-quality portfolio

The Nippon India Corporate Bond Fund stands out in its category due to its high-quality portfolio and active duration management. Over the past three years, the fund has allocated around 20 per cent of its assets to long-dated G-secs, which offered a more favourable risk-reward profile compared to corporate bonds, particularly due to their inclusion in global indices. Approximately half of the portfolio is invested in AAA-rated bonds from financial firms and other companies, such as those issued by ICICI Home Finance and Tata Capital Financial, enabling the fund to achieve higher yields.

Additionally, the fund invests 25-30 per cent of its portfolio in bonds from prominent public sector undertakings (PSUs) like REC, IRFC, and PFC, ensuring low-risk and highly liquid portfolio. This strategy is reflected in its portfolio yield-to-maturity (YTM) of 7.43 per cent as of January 2025, slightly above the category average of 7.37 per cent.

Active duration management

Nippon India Corporate Bond Fund has delivered better returns than the category in both falling and rising rate scenarios. It was among the few funds in its category that proactively reduced the average maturity of its portfolio to around two years in 2021. This move came just before RBI began its rate hiking cycle, when it reversed easing effected during Covid and withdrew the liquidity stimulus from the market. This proactive move helped mitigate potential mark-to-market losses as yields rose. During this period, the fund maintained an allocation of 85 per cent in AAA-rated bonds and 15 per cent in AA and AA+ rated bonds, making it one of the top performers in its category both during the low interest-rate phase of 2021 and the rising-rate phase of 2022.

Following the RBI’s rate hike cycle, the fund extended its duration starting February 2023, increasing its average maturity to 5.5 years. This paid off as 10-year Indian G-sec yields fell from a peak of 7.5 per cent to 6.75 per cent, and AAA PSU yields declined from 8 per cent to 7.5 per cent. Currently, the fund holds a mix of sovereign assets, high-quality PSU bonds, and corporate bonds, ensuring a high-quality portfolio with high liquidity. As per the latest portfolio, the fund allocates 25 per cent to 5-10 year sovereign bonds, 10 per cent to 10-year corporate bonds, and 40-50 per cent to 3-5 year AAA-rated corporate bonds.

On the downside, while the fund stands to benefit from future rate cuts, the trajectory of cuts is by no means certain. Recent global events can add to volatility in foreign investor flows into Indian bonds and lead to more two-way moves in prices. Moreover, in a shallow rate-cut cycle, bond yields may not decline significantly, limiting the scope for yield-driven capital appreciation.

Additionally, expense ratios on top of taxation of debt funds, where gains are taxed at the investor’s slab rate, make them less competitive compared to high-quality fixed deposits. However, investors seeking compounding of returns, with anytime liquidity and diversification may still find these funds appealing.

The fund’s expense ratio for the regular plan is 0.72 per cent, slightly above the category average of 0.70 per cent, while the direct plan’s expense ratio is 0.36 per cent, higher than the category average of 0.32 per cent.

Performance

Performance as measured by five-year rolling returns calculated from the last 10 years’ NAV data shows that the fund delivered an average compounded annual return of 7.1 per cent while the category clocked 6.9 per cent.

The fund holds a five-star rating according to the bl.portfolio MF StarTrack rating. It is a suitable choice for investors with a low to moderate risk appetite and an investment horizon of three to five years.

Why This Large Cap Fund Is Suited For All Market Types

by Hansraj Agrawal | Mar 8, 2025 | Share Market

Equity markets have been roiled over the past five months and many frontline indices – large, mid and small cap – have corrected sharply.

Even as there is limited clarity on when this decline in the markets would end, many segments of the market have fallen enough to present attractive long-term prospects.

Despite sharper corrections in the mid and small-cap spaces, large-cap indices now trade at much lower valuations.

And many pockets in the large-cap space may be even more attractive due to the deeper price cuts.

In the current environment when US trade tariffs, domestic growth concerns, weak corporate results and currency volatility present considerable challenges for investors, sticking to ‘tried and tested’ large-caps may be desirable.

Even otherwise, large-cap funds usually must account for a major part of the portfolios of investors, with a moderate risk appetite wanting relatively lower volatility.

As one of the largest and top-performing funds in the space, ICICI Prudential Bluechip is a fund that investors can consider for their core portfolio from a long-term perspective of 7-10 years.

The fund has a track record a little shy of 17 years and has delivered healthy benchmark and category-beating returns over the long term.

Taking the SIP route for exposure to the fund would help save smartly towards financial goals.

Consistently among the best

Over the past several years, many large-cap funds have struggled to beat standard bluechip benchmarks such as the Nifty 100 TRI or the BSE 100 TRI.

However, ICICI Prudential Bluechip has managed to comfortably beat the Nifty 100 TRI over the years.

Over the past 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year timeframes, the fund has delivered 1.1 per cent, 16.7 per cent, 19.2 per cent and 12.9 per cent, respectively on a point-to-point basis. The scheme outperformed its benchmark by 2-4 percentage points over the medium to long term.

When five-year rolling returns from January 2013 to March 2025 are considered, the fund has delivered mean return of 14.6 per cent. The Nifty 100 TRI, on the other hand, has delivered average returns of 13.3 per cent.

Also, over the aforementioned period, on a 5-year rolling basis, the scheme has beaten its benchmark Nifty 100 TRI a little shy of 80 per cent of the time. It has delivered more than 12 per cent over 76 per cent of the time during this period and more than 15 per cent for nearly 51 per cent of the time.

The fund’s SIP returns (XIRR) over the past 10 years are healthy, at 15.3 per cent. An SIP in its benchmark Nifty 100 TRI would have given 12.9 per cent over the same period.

All return figures pertain to the direct plan of the fund.

ICICI Prudential Bluechip fund has an upside capture ratio of 100.8, indicating that its NAV rises a bit more than what the benchmark does during rallies. The scheme has a downside capture ratio of 74.3, suggesting that the scheme’s NAV falls much less than the Nifty 100 TRI during corrections. A score of 100 indicates that a fund performs in line with its benchmark. These observations are based on data from March 2023-March 2025.

Healthy value mix

ICICI Prudential Bluechip invests 80-85 per cent of its portfolio in large-cap stocks, true to the requirements for large-cap funds. About 5-10 per cent of its holdings are in mid-caps, though exposure is made only to prominent names in the space.

The top two or three companies in any segment tend to figure in the portfolio, though weightage is decided based on valuation and other market factors.

Much of the fund’s focus is on picking value buys, though a few growth stocks also figure in the portfolio.

Banks have been the fund’s favourites and have occupied the most weightage in the portfolio. But other segments are rotated based on fundamentals and varying market conditions, though IT-software and petroleum products figure prominently.

In recent months, automobiles have been accorded increased weightage as valuations turn attractive after the correction over the past several months as have construction projects.

Minimising exposure to underperforming FMCG and cement sectors has helped the fund deliver better returns.

Barring banks, all other sector holdings are in single digits, making it a diffused portfolio across segments.

ICICI Prudential Bluechip holds cash to the tune of 7-10 per cent of its portfolio.

The fund is suitable for investors across the board looking for consistently above-average returns without taking undue risks.
