SCHEME PERFORMANCE, FUTURE OUTLOOK AND OPERATIONS OF THE SCHEMES

 

OUTLOOK ON THE EQUITY MARKETS

 

FY17 witnessed some key events like the passage of the Goods and Services Tax Bill (GST) in India, Britain voting in favor of a Brexit, the demonetization drive of the Indian Government to combat black money and corruption, the election of Donald Trump as the new US President, the appointment of Dr. Urjit Patel as the new RBI Governor, the appointment of a new Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) in India for the formulation of monetary policy and the US Federal Reserve hiking rates in Dec ‘16.

 

OUTLOOK ON THE DEBT MARKETS

 

On the fixed income front, expectations of monetary easing by the Reserve bank of India (RBI) led to easing across the yield curve. RBI changed its Monetary Policy stance to neutral from accommodative. The 10 year benchmark Gilt yield ended the year FY 17 at 6.68% from 7.46% at the start of the financial year. In FY17 the benchmark repo rate was cut by 50 bps to 6.25%. It was also heartening to note that the government continued to adhere to fiscal prudence by targeting 3.0% fiscal deficit for FY18.

 

Global markets painted a bleak picture through the last year. Liquidity injection measures by Central Banks continued in most developed economies. Deflationary expectations, declining global commodity prices, negative treasury yields in most parts of Euro zone, Japan, etc. theyre some of the key focus points last year. The US Fed has hiked rate by 50 bps and seems committed to gradually increase rates going forward in com.

 

A brief commentary on the operations and performance of our schemes are as follows:

 

KOTAK SELECT FOCUS FUND:

 

Kotak Select Focus outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. This was driven by both sector allocation as theyll as positive selection of stocks. The fund has consistently delivered better than benchmark

returns since inception.

 

KOTAK OPPORTUNITIES:

 

Kotak Opportunities outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. This was largely on account of positive selection of stocks. The scheme has also outperformed the benchmark in the period since inception.

 

KOTAK MIDCAP SCHEME:

 

Despite marginal underperformance against the benchmark during the year under the review, the fund has outperformed its benchmark since inception owing to the positive sector and stock selection.

 

KOTAK EMERGING EQUITY SCHEME:

 

The scheme has outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. This was on account of positive selection of sectors and stocks. The returns since inception till date have exceeded benchmark returns.

 

KOTAK MAHINDRA 50 UNIT SCHEME:

 

The scheme has outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. This was largely on account of positive selection of stocks. The returns since inception till date have also been higher than the benchmark.

 

KOTAK CLASSIC EQUITY:

 

The scheme has outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 on account of positive selection of sectors and stocks. The fund has marginally underperformed its benchmark since inception.

 

KOTAK MAHINDRA BALANCE UNIT SCHEME 99:

 

The scheme has outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. The scheme has been in inception much before the formation of its benchmark and therefore its returns during this period cannot be accurately compared with the benchmark.

 

KOTAK TAX SAVER:

 

The scheme has outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 on account of positive selection of sectors and stocks. The returns since inception till date have also been higher than the benchmark returns.

 

KOTAK EQUITY ARBITRAGE SCHEME:

 

The scheme outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. The scheme has been in inception much before the formation of its benchmark and therefore its returns during this period cannot be accurately compared with the benchmark.

 

KOTAK EQUITY SAVINGS FUND:

 

Despite underperformance against its benchmark in FY 2017, the fund has delivered better than benchmark returns since inception till date.

 

KOTAK INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMIC REFORM FUND:

 

The scheme has outperformed its benchmark during FY 2017 and in period since inception. This can be attributed to the portfolio strategy of having invested in a down cycle in flow related companies exhibiting consistently high return ratios.

 

KOTAK WORLD GOLD FUND:

 

The fund has underperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. This is attributable to the underperformance of the underlying fund to its benchmark. Kotak World Gold Fund has outperformed its benchmark in period since inception.

 

KOTAK US EQUITY FUND:

 

The fund underperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 and in period since inception. This is attributable to underperformance in the underlying fund.

 

KOTAK ASSET ALLOCATOR FUND:

 

The scheme has outperformed its benchmark during FY 2017. This is attributable to a low equity exposure as assigned by the quantitative model run for portfolio construction. The fund has also outperformed the benchmark since inception till date.

 

KOTAK GLOBAL EMERGING MARKET FUND:

 

The scheme has underperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. This is attributable to underperformance in the underlying funds. The scheme return since inception till date has exceeded benchmark returns.

 

KOTAK MAHINDRA GILT UNIT SCHEME 98– INVESTMENT PLAN:

 

The scheme outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 as the fund was positioned for rally in bond prices. However, towards the end of the year, the fund witnessed some underperformance as RBI decision to hold rates and change stance from accommodative to neutral was contrary to our expectations.

 

KOTAK MAHINDRA BOND UNIT SCHEME 99:

 

The scheme underperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. The scheme did well throughout the year. However, during the last few months of the year, the RBI decision to hold rates and change the stance from accommodation to neutral was in contradiction to our expectation.

 

KOTAK BANKING AND PSU DEBT FUND:

 

The scheme outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. The scheme has been in inception much before the formation of the benchmark and therefore does not have an appropriate comparison for that period under assessment.

 

KOTAK BOND SHORT TERM PLAN:

 

The scheme outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. The fund was positioned a tad conservative in terms of the portfolio duration and hence was able to deliver outperformance.

 

KOTAK MEDIUM TERM FUND:

 

The scheme underperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 and in the period since inception. The underperformance is attributable to relatively lower duration of the fund in comparison to the benchmark.

 

KOTAK LOW DURATION FUND:

 

The scheme has outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 and has marginally underperformed the benchmark in the period since inception. The outperformance can be attributed to the higher duration and aggressive portfolio approach relative to the benchmark. The fund also had a reasonably high YTM (Yield to maturity) which aided performance.

 

 

 

 

KOTAK MONTHLY INCOME PLAN:

 

The scheme has outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 and has marginally underperformed in the period since inception. Active management in both fixed income and equities led to such outperformance.

 

KOTAK MAHINDRA LIQUID SCHEME AND KOTAK FLOATER SHORT TERM SCHEME:

 

The performances of both the schemes exceeded the benchmark returns in FY 2017. This was largely attributable to the relatively higher duration and higher portfolio yield as compared to the benchmark. The returns since inception till date have also exceeded benchmark returns.

 

KOTAK TREASURY ADVANTAGE FUND:

 

The fund outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 and in the period since inception. The fund was running higher duration relative to the benchmark and this resulted in outperformance during the year. The portfolio had a bias towards higher rated assets in FY 17

 

KOTAK FLEXI DEBT SCHEME:

 

The fund outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 and in the period since inception. This can be attributed to the active duration management strategy of the fund against the benchmark.

 

KOTAK INCOME OPPORTUNITIES FUND:

 

The fund outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 and in the period since inception. The fund increased exposure to non AAA rated issuers vis-ŕ-vis the benchmark. The spreads of such category vis a vis AAA assets witnessed some compression leading to outperformance.

 

KOTAK CORPORATE BOND FUND:

 

The fund has underperformed its benchmark in FY 2017. This is attributable to relatively lower duration as compared to the benchmark. The scheme has outperformed its benchmark in the period since inception.

 

KOTAK MULTI ASSET ALLOCATION FUND:

 

The scheme has outperformed the benchmark in FY 2017. The scheme has underperformed the benchmark since inception due to the conservative approach adopted by the scheme earlier. The lag effect of underperformance in the previous years and the recent volatility witnessed is getting reflected in the inception performance.

 

KOTAK HYBRID FIXED TERM PLAN - SERIES II:

 

The scheme underperformed the benchmark in FY 2017 till its maturity date of January 30, 2017. This is attributable to the fact that the predominant debt component of the benchmark comprises composite duration fund index. On the other hand, the debt component of the scheme comprises hold-to-maturity portfolio devised during the inception of the scheme. Thus the fund is unable to actively churn and rebalance the portfolio as need may arise

 

 

 

KOTAK GOLD FUND:

 

The scheme has underperformed the benchmark in FY 2017 and in period since inception. This is attributable to the fact that the exchange prices are trading at a discount (to physical gold which is the benchmark) due to 1% VAT impact.. Also, the gold ETF cannot generate alpha and has to mirror the underlying asset (gold). Thus, the expense ratio difference, which is not present in the physical gold prices, shows as underperformance for the scheme.

 

KOTAK GOLD ETF:

 

The ETF scheme has underperformed the benchmark (physical gold price) in FY 2017 and also in the period since inception. This is attributable to the fact that gold ETF cannot generate alpha and has to mirror the underlying asset (gold). Thus, the expense ratio difference, which is not present in the physical gold prices, shows as underperformance for the scheme.

 

KOTAK PSU BANK ETF:

 

The ETF scheme has outperformed the Nifty PSU Bank Index benchmark since inception. The scheme has also outperformed the benchmark in the FY 2017 period. The outperformance is due to reinvestment of dividend amount into the scheme received from index constituents.

 

KOTAK SENSEX ETF:

 

The scheme has outperformed its commensurate benchmark in the financial year and in the period since inception. The out performance is due to reinvestment of dividend amount into the scheme received from index constituents.

 

KOTAK NIFTY ETF:

 

The scheme has outperformed its commensurate benchmark in the financial year and in the period since inception. The outperformance is due to reinvestment of dividend amount into the scheme received from index constituents.

 

KOTAK BANKING ETF:

 

The fund outperformed its benchmark in FY 2017 and in the period since inception. The outperformance is due to reinvestment of dividend amount into the scheme received from index constituents.

 

KOTAK FIXED MATURITY PLANS (FMPS) AND KOTAK QUARTERLY INTERVAL PLANS (QIPS):

 

These are passive managed funds and hence can’t be compared with the benchmark. This is because the portfolios are normally HTM and are not dynamically managed like the benchmark and the portfolio construction is based on a narrowly defined setup, the limitations of which are not incumbent on the benchmark. Therefore they typically underperform the benchmark.

SEBI has taken right steps to rationalise categories for MF schemes: Nilesh Shah

 

Date: Oct 09, 2017

 

In a move to declutter and rationalise mutual funds, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) sets 5 broad categories for mutual fund (MF) schemes. Also defines largecap, midcap and smallcap companies by market capitalisation. In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Nilesh Shah, Managing Director, Kotak Mahindra AMC shared his views and outlook on the same.

 

In a move to declutter and rationalise mutual funds, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) sets 5 broad categories for mutual fund (MF) schemes. Also defines largecap, midcap and smallcap companies by market capitalisation.

In an interview to CNBC-TV18, Nilesh Shah, Managing Director, Kotak Mahindra AMC shared his views and outlook on the same.

 

SEBI has done this with twin objective, one from an investor point of view, there were too many schemes which were confusing investors. So SEBI has taken the right steps to rationalize the categories. Second, also to diversify and create a level-playing field in MF industry, he said.

 

Both from a customer point of view as well as from an industry point of view, this is a path-breaking move and we are very thankful to SEBI for doing this, he added.

 

As of today, this 10 categorization is good enough, if there is a need to launch more, certainly you can request SEBI to consider and create a category over a period of time, said Shah.
