Mutual Funds Markets - Mutual Funds MF flows in October: Hectic activity in short-term funds S. Vaidya Nathan
INFLOWS and outflows into mutual funds put together crossed the Rs 50,000-crore mark in October, indicating the dominance of short-term flows. In October 2001, the two-way flows amounted to around Rs 22,000 crore. Though this has been a dominant trend in the last two years, the levels of activity in October constitute a high. For the seven months between April and October 2002, inflows were Rs 1,53,171 crore (Rs 75,325 crore in 2001) and outflows Rs 1,41,664 crore (Rs 68,399 crore). The following are the other significant pointers from the fund flows in October 2002 published by the Association of Mutual Funds of India:
UTI's NPA recoveries: The UTI has increased the payment to investors of its Monthly Income Plan 1995 from recoveries of non-performing assets and illiquid securities. The payment announced earlier as Rs 0.415 per unit to all unitholders has been enhanced to Rs 0.46 per unit under the Monthly Income Option and Rs 1.13 per unit under the cumulative plan to the unitholders at the time of maturity. Birla MIP dividend: Birla SunLife Mutual Fund has announced a dividend of 0.9 per cent for the Monthly Dividend Plan (Plan A) and Monthly Payment Plan (Plan B) of Birla Monthly Income Plan. The record date for the dividend was November 29. Magnum Income Fund: SBI Mutual Fund has revised the load structure for Magnum Income Fund. There will now be an exit load of 0.5 per cent if funds are redeemed within six months from date of investment for investments of less than Rs 10 lakh and no exit load (0.35 per cent earlier) for amounts in excess of Rs 10 lakh. ING Treasury portfolio: ING Savings Trust has reduced the minimum amount for investment in ING Treasury Portfolio to Rs 5,000 and in multiples of Rs 1,000 thereafter. The minimum outstanding balance has also been cut to Rs 5,000. US-64 prices: The repurchase price for unit holdings of up to 5,000 units (enhanced from 3,000 units) is Rs 11.50 per unit in December under the Special Liquidity Package. The package was offered from August 2001 at Rs 10 per unit and is due to end in May 2003 at Rs 12 per unit.
The price for November was Rs 11.40 per unit. For holdings in excess of 50,00 units, a repurchase facility linked to the NAV is available from January 2, 2001. For such holdings, an assured repurchase price of Rs 10 per unit or NAV, whichever is higher, is available on May 31, 2003, if the units are held till then. The redemption will be at NAV-based prices if it carried out before May 31, 2003.
