Hello Shankar - this is a good video. I was looking for parking funds for short term and was clear to not do the FD (due to tds complications at the year end - accrual basis tax) and at the same time was looking for something less risky - I felt out of all the options - for less than 1 year need, I will do arbitrage funds and for 1-3 years i will do equity savings funds. they are both better at taxation and the risk is primarily very bearable.
Hi Shankar, so are these funds averse of market highs and lows? I mean especially dynamic asset allocation funds can we enter into these with lumpsum at any point in the market or do we wait for a crash or something?
I used to park in Invits particularly during high interest rate environment, as their valuations are cheap at period and the funds can be deployed back into the market when there are rate cuts as market will rally because of more liquidity.
Another way to park u r short term/ emergency fund in overdraft home loan account from where u can withdraw money any time & also get indirect intrest on extra money parked same as hone loan intrest without worrying about tax...banks like sbi BOB AXIS icici etc provide such facility
Shankar, You don't believe, past few months I repeatedly watched your debt fund videos especially experts take on debt, hybrid funds one. Those videos helped me to take decision and start investing in those funds from April'24. I also parked some in high interest rate FDs and savings account. Thanks for making this useful and helpful video.
Thanks for the video Shankar. Ideal time to know these concepts! I've a question clarification. How do you do your STPs? Do you withdraw from your exiting MF and then again do a lumpsum to the new MF every month or is there a platform that does it automatically for you? I use ET Money for all my MFs and I can't see the STP option anywhere. Also while doing STP, do you pay the capital gain tax even when you redeploy the capital immediately into a new fund?
Most welcome. 1. It's done automatically & I use the AMC website to effect this 2. Platforms incl. ET Money might not have built this feature as it's a minor use-case (SIP being the more prevalent one). Try myCAMS - they might have it 3. Yes, capital gain tax is payable .. which is why I am moving from using debt funds to using equity savings funds/arbitrage funds to effect the STP
I have a query regarding mutual fund. Being a corporate employee I am investing in ELSS fund. Alongside I am investing in a Mid Cap and Small Cap MF separately. Now, I would like to invest more amount. Shall I increase my investment in my ongoing SIPs or invest in a new MF? If yes, shall I go for Flexi Cap fund or something else, where MF overlap is minimal. Thank you.
Sometimes over diversifying can lead to unexpected returns. Fix a target CAGR for your total MF portfolio. And if your current holdings are able to get that return than just increase the SIP. Or else you can opt for other MFs. And yes checking if the stocks are not overlapping is an important one.
Why wouldn’t it be a good strategy to use Gold ETFs/ Funds as a place to park opportunity funds? Given that gold tends to be less volatile than equities and often remains stable or even appreciates during equity market downturns, wouldn’t it make sense to allocate funds to gold and then shift them into equities during a market crash? Are there any flaws in this approach? Where do you suggest one should park opportunity money for optimal growth and flexibility?
Thanks a lot ! With your advice, I switched my MF to debt funds. Please can you explain why people say we must never touch MF during uncertain times because we lose the compounding benefit.
Most welcome. I think what people mean is that --- don't redeem your MF units just because the stock market is volatile. This is said to ensure you're not taking decisions based on fear. Your investing decisions should be based on logic. Fear is not logical and neither is transient euphoria
Great content as always ❤. I've 2 questions on other matter. As you are very active in replying, I thought I may dare to ask. So please reply if you think it's suitable. Often we see on news/YT channels that some 'XYZ' company has 'XYZ'Cr. market share in India, and FIIs/DIIs are buying/selling 'XYZ' shares and so on. My questions are: 1) How/Where to find companies' (in same category) market share (not the share price) in terms of their business doing in India? 2) How/Where to find data of FII's/DII's on buying/selling shares of stocks?
@@shankarnath wonderful. Unbelievable... Thanks a ton. I have searched several times in Google regarding market share but didn't find what i was looking for because of the searching keyword... Thanks again. ❤ 🙏
Tax depends on product to product. It also depends on the tax slab of the individual and also the amount (interest or capital gain). This can be a little complicated to explain on a generic level, may I request you to connect with a tax advisor for this. One resource you can watch is this one: ua-cam.com/video/h32ThMSJt80/v-deo.html .. hope this helps.
Hi Shankar. Thanks for another gem of a video. Had a query regarding term insurance. If I were to get myself a term insurance (in my late 40s) of about 2-3 crores what should be my considerations for selection, duration of cover and payment terms? The premium at this age is obviously high, so wondering how best to cover risk.
Thank you Shilpi. I'm in Bangalore day-after & a podcast is being arranged with Shrehith, the CEO/founder of Ditto Insurance. If we have time, I'll pose this question to him. In my opinion, your term insurance coverage should not some adhoc value but the balance between your comforting retirement corpus and your present networth. For example - 8 crores is what many people I've spoken to need to retire around the 55 year mark. Let's say you're networth is already 7 crores -- then you really don't need more than 1 crore. However if you have accumulated a lot lower, say 3 crores .. then depending on factors like premium you should decide the coverage The second consideration is the tenure (duration) and similar to the above, go for the age by when you think you'll have reached your retirement corpus. So if that age is 60 years .. then keep the tenure to 15 years (assuming you are 47 right now). This again ensures your family has the necessary protection and you aren't overpaying on the premiums Thirdly, with re: payment terms -- I am biased towards "regular pay" i.e. pay monthly or annually. Like in my case, I have my term plans extending upto 70 years but I plan to stop paying premium once I've reached my financial freedom number. Going for "limited pay" would have not given me that option. Hope this helps.
@@shankarnath Thank you for this message Shankar - your detailed response to my query on term insurance has set me off thinking about my retirement goals and expected retirement age. Would be grateful if you manage to squeeze in time for this query when speaking to Shrehith. Looking forward to the podcast now :)
Thanks Shankar for educating us. However I have few questions - 1. How does arbitrage funds behave in the bear market? Do they generate good positive /positive/ negetive returns ? 2. How does equity savings fund returns get impacted due to rate cuts? Also I suggest you to cover a topic in your upcoming video - Timing nifty market crash. I understand timing is very difficult but this will relevant as feds will start cutting rates & yield curve invertion which suggest a recession is coming (based on historical data). Idea is to make an educated guess to reduce some part of equity holdings and keep this as opportunistic buy money. You can also cover a strategy to deploy this money during bear phases based on historical drop % and bear period time duration.
Thanks for the suggestions. Kindly examine the performance of arbitrage and equity savings funds on platforms like valueresearchonline.com .. do note, different schemes have different strategies
I thought that the Fed rate cut will make the market rally. May be to some extent the rate cut is already priced in. But banks and NBFCs are likely to rally. Also those businesses which are having tough time borrowing, will borrow after the rate cut. Isn't it? Thats what I think, but may be I am wrong.
@@shankarnathYes Sir, PPF is a Long-term product. But after 15 years lock-in is over, money can be withdrawn. Moreover it's tax-free. Only issue is Liquidity which is slightly better with the changes made.
Shankar please give me a go ahead to put 25% of my retirement corpus into sbi bank annuity for 7 years which allows me higher assured cash flow as it involves principal back like loan emis. 75% then cud be deployed into BAFs for SWP’s after annuities are exhausted. At 65, I feel this way I move with the inflation and leave better legacy behind…awaiting yours
1. Sir, pls never ask/take personalized advice from a social media channel. Even in this case, one doesn't know if this is Shankar who is responding to the comments or someone else from the team. May I request you to kindly consult a fee-only financial planner who can understand your requirements in depth & advice a plan of action. 2. On a generic basis, BAFs have been beating inflation consistently on a 5-year rolling basis. You might want to understand every BAF individually because each of them use a different valuations model (e.g. I've found ICICI Pru BAF more conservative than the others which isn't a bad thing)
This is a different question not related to short term, but What are your thoughts on investing in Mon100 ETF now that the overseas limit is stopped. The fund will no longer create new units due to this. Would this affect this in the long run? I am confused whether I should be continuing doing SIP on this?
It would be extremely useful if you could plot these investment options on a similar chart you showed in the Debt section like time, risk, interest etc. If you could add it to the comments or the description, it will be great
Thanks Shankar. Very informative. If duration is 1 year plus, Gold plus Nifty50 ETFs in 50-50 proportion is also a good option. But yes, it's volatile than any of the methods you described.
Welcome. I've haven't analysed this combo but given the tax factor, I'll be more keen on an instrument with 65%+ in equity. Ofcourse, the combo's heightened risk has to be kept into account. It's not advisable in the context of this topic.
Need to know if Balance advantage fund is good for retirement SWP. Also if not let me know which fund is suitable for 60 year old and whose 50% portfolio is in Equity stocks.
BAF as short term fund is a big NO. Even they were not spared in covid crash all BAFs fell between 16% to 34%. For short term FD/Liquid/Money Market funds is more than enough.No need to complicate by involving equity.
Atleast 80 Lakh to 1 CR should be in FD in Tier 1 cities. Maybe put a chunk of the interest in SIP of a Flexicap or just let it be. The rest investments should start after you have that one safety FD.
Depending on the circumstances, my favourites change. For instance, if I need money in the next 1 month - I prefer the bank savings account. For SWP, I like equity savings fund. With interest rates likely to come down, I like long duration debt MFs.
My humble opinion. Even if you are a risk taker, not everypenny should be put in equity even if it's long term. Many ppl say , longterm means equity which is right only on paper but it's most impractical/unnecessary. Min 30-40% of ur asset should be kept in stable,less volatile instruments like Conservative hybrid funds , Arbitrage funds even for long-term like 10+ years. Remaining amount as per ur risk taking ability. Such setup helps ppl emotionally during bear market and prevents them from redeeming ter funds. Asset Allocation is everything. You should contract your portfolio factoring 2-3 years continous bear market. Somewhere I read an interesting quote. "You make money either by taking huge risk on small amount of money or take small risk on huge amount of money" The above quote will make sense if ur portfolio size is over 1Cr.
One thing not covered is gold etfs ( this vould have given good option but taxed differently but they are not better compared to fd in long term if you dont consider current bull run and well timed entry for gold.) , This are the funds i explored except equity saving funds, i found arbitrage funds as good for long term vs fds post taxation,
thank you Shankarji for this informative video. I had started using Arbitrage fund for short term parking but did know much about Equity Savings MF. It was very helpful. I have question, do you think debt oriented growth MF can be an alternative to Equity Savings MF for parking money and STP?
Please include FD options from Small Finance Banks which are giving FD rates of 9+ percentage for Senior Citizens and more than 8.5 percent for non Seniors. These FDs also have DICGC insurance upto 5 lakhs.
A finfluencer recently suggested parking of lumpsum money in an active hybrid fund and do swp amounting to 0.5 % of capital to invest in a growth fudin an equity fund .This will ensue perpetual investment for generations . Slightly off track question but interesting. Please comment
That's a misconception arife amongst the investor class in general.. P2P lending has been demonised like what stock mkts were treated like in the 90s.. it's only where banks don't get to earn a dime as they are weeded out like middlemen

My humble opinion. Even if you are a risk taker, not everypenny should be put in equity even if it's long term.

Somewhere I read an interesting quote.
"You make money either by taking huge risk on small amount of money or take small risk on huge amount of money"
The above quote will make sense if ur portfolio size is over 1Cr.
Tbill lessthan 1yr.
conservative hybrid 1-2yrs.
Liquid - emergency money.
FD liquidated, would lead to no interest loss.
This is a serious channel. Pl try to keep it that way .

I was just thinking about options to keep emergency fund and randomly got this video suggestion.
A Treasury fund is another good option to park for 3 to 6 months, predictable, secure and upfront return.
Sir interest rate from bank fixed deposit is not covered under 80TTA, it covers only the savings bank interest.
NPS tier 2 is rhe best if you can put in few hours of work once in 3months. Best tax accretive option that can generate alpha over FDs and Bonds.
