[ad_1]

Read More/Less


Canara Robeco Bluechip Equity Fund

This is one fund that has been rated 5-star by Morning Star, CRISIL and Value Research, which makes it a good largecap equity mutual fund to buy in India. The fund is mandated to invest in large cap stocks and it has high ratings across. The assets under management of the fund is around Rs 2,888 crores, which is not great when compared to other peers, but, its performance, portfolio and ratings, make it a great investment bet.

A SIP started for Rs 10,000 3-years ago, would have helped create a corpus of Rs 5.13 lakhs. This means a sum of Rs 3.6 lakhs has helped create a corpus of Rs 5.13 lakhs. Investors looking to invest in Canara Robeco Bluechip Equity Fund can do so by way of a small SIP of Rs 1,000 each month.

 Axis Blue Chip Fund

Axis Blue Chip Fund

This equity mutual fund has been rated “5 star” by Value Research and Morning Star. Axis Blue Chip Fund has been a consistent performer and has often been accorded great faith by investors.

The 3-year returns from the fund is 15.44% on an annualized basis, while the 5-year returns has been 16.28% on an annualized basis. Top 10 stocks account for 66% of the fund’s portfolio. HDFC Bank, Infosys, Bajaj Finance and TCS form a significant part of the holdings of Axis Blue Chip Fund. The fund has sizeable assets under management to the tune of Rs 27,000 crores. Under the SIP a sum for investment can be as small as Rs 500. One thing worth mentioning is that the Sensex is at 53,000 points, which is near record and hence investing lumpsum is dangerous.

BNP Paribas Large Cap Fund

BNP Paribas Large Cap Fund

Again, this fund has been rated by Morning Star as “5-star”. This is a fund that largely invests in largecap funds. A Rs 1 lakh investment three years ago, would have fetched Rs 1.5 lakhs today. The net asset value under the growth plans is Rs 126.22.

The 5-year returns from the fund has been close to 13% on an annualized basis, which is not bad at all. Unlike Axis Blue Chip Fund, the size of assets under management is rather small at around Rs 1,047 crores. BNP Paribas Large Cap Fund has invested 96.5% in equities and the remaining are held in cash and cash equivalents.

The holdings of the fund include in stocks like ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, Reliance Industries and Axis Bank among others.

 Invesco India Midcap Fund

Invesco India Midcap Fund

This is a midcap fund, which means a warning to investors that should the benchmark indices fall, NAV could fall faster and should indices climb, returns could be superior than the index gains.

The fund has an exception run in the last 1-year, giving a returns of 66%, while the 3-year annualized returns has been 18%. The 5-year returns has been around that 17% mark.

Invesco India Midcap Fund has invested almost 96% in equities and the remaining in cash and cash equivalents. Most of the funds are invested in midcap equities including names like Vinati Organics, Endurance Technologies, Gland Pharma, Mphasis etc.

The current NAV under the growth plan is Rs 78.04.

Mirae Largecap Fund

Mirae Largecap Fund

This is a fund that has been rated by “5 star” by both CRISIL and Morning Star and hence making it is an excellent mutual fund to buy at the current levels for long term investors. Those looking to buy into this fund can do as at the current NAV of around Rs 71.

This is a large cap equity mutual fund scheme, which means there is less volatility, though risk remains as always for equities.

A sum of Rs 1 lakh invested three years ago, would have resulted in a present value of Rs 1.53 lakhs, which is not bad at all. Mirae Largecap Fund has sizeable assets under management of Rs 25,721 crores, which is not bad at all.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has imposed, by an order dated July 02, 2021, a monetary penalty of ₹25.00 lakh (Rupees twenty five lakh only) on Punjab and Sind Bank (the bank) for non-compliance with certain provisions of directions issued by RBI on ‘Cyber Security Framework in Banks’ dated June 2, 2016.

This penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers vested in RBI under the provisions of section 47 A (1) (c) read with sections 46 (4) (i) and 51 (1) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. This action is based on the deficiencies in regulatory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers.

Background

The bank had reported a few cyber incidents to RBI on May 16 and May 20, 2020. Examination of the incident reports and the report of the forensic analysis of the said incidents, revealed, non-compliance with aforesaid directions. In furtherance to the same, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed for non-compliance with the directions issued by RBI, as stated therein.

After considering the bank’s reply to the show cause notice, oral submissions made during the personal hearing and examination of further clarifications/documents furnished by the bank, RBI came to the conclusion that to the extent the charges of non-compliance with RBI directions were substantiated, it warranted imposition of monetary penalty.

LIC Housing Finance Ltd (LICHFL) has cut its home loan interest rate from 6.90 per cent to 6.66 per cent under a special limited period offer. This interest rate is applicable for home loans up to ₹50 lakh for salaried individuals. This is probably the lowest home loan interest currently being offered by any lender.

The housing finance company, in a statement, said new borrowers whose loans are getting sanctioned till August 31, 2021 will be eligible for the special offer provided the first disbursement is availed on or before September 30, 2021.

LICHFL said the rate of interest offered is linked to the borrower’s creditworthiness, as reflected by their CIBIL scores. “At 6.66 per cent, LIC Housing Finance Ltd has offered its lowest ever rate of interest on housing loans with a maximum tenure of 30 years,” the company said.

MD and CEO Viswanatha Gowd added, “…Considering the impact of the pandemic, we wanted to offer an interest rate that would help in uplifting the overall sentiments and aid more individuals to fulfil their dream of owning their own house. “We hope that this reduction in home loan interest rate will further boost customer confidence and help in early revival of the sector.”

Currently, State Bank of India (SBI) offers home loans at interest rate starting from 6.70 per cent. Lenders such as HDFC and Kotak Mahindra Bank offer home loans at interest rates starting from 6.75 per cent. Kotak Mahindra Bank is quoting special interest rate of 6.65 per cent for balance transfers.
