Birla Sun Life Front Line Equity Fund
February 8th, 2010 by chirag | No Comments | Filed in Mutual FundsA long-term track record of good performance, proven ability to ride out corrections better than most peer funds and benchmark, and a focussed exposure to blue-chip equities makes Birla Sun Life Frontline Equity Fund an apt investment option.That the fund is among the select few funds to have bettered their respective benchmarks each year in the last five years also adds to its appeal.
Kotak Lifestyle
February 8th, 2010 by chirag | No Comments | Filed in Mutual FundsA compounded annualised return of less than 3per cent since inception in March 2006 does not augur well for investors holding Kotak Lifestyle Fund in their portfolio. The fund’s unimpressive performance compared with its benchmark, CNX 500, over different time periods since inception warrants a re-look from investors to possibly switch to some of the top-performing diversified large-cap funds such as HDFC Top 200 and DSPBR Top 100 Equity.
The fund was launched with a view that it would benefit from an upward economic cycle with the consumerism expanding substantially. But the timing may have been a tad late. The fund’s investment objective is to invest across companies that are likely to benefit from changing lifestyle and rising consumerism.
Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories
February 8th, 2010 by chirag | No Comments | Filed in Long Term TipsShareholders can consider booking profits on their holdings in Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL). The stock has since our last ‘buy’ recommendation gained over 60 per cent. While a strong set of numbers in the just-ended December quarter, potential exclusivity revenues from products such as Prilosec OTC, Allegra D24 and Arixtra and the likely expansion in market reach through its alliance with GSK promise growth potential, the stock appears to have priced in most of these potential positives.
