What to look for in your fund statement ?

By
Here are six things that you should keep in mind while looking at your fund statement.

A mutual fund statement is pretty much like your bank account statement. It is a complete summary of your mutual fund investments. While formats and layouts may vary across fund houses, the basic components remain the same.


1. Keep a record of your folio number. It is your reference number for the investment made. Each time you make an additional investment in an AMC, ensure that the folio number is the same. This will make it easier to track all your fund investments with a particular fund house. If you don't use the same folio number, you will have many folio numbers over time and this will make tracking your investments difficult.

2. Ensure that the name of the bank and the account number are correct to avoid facing problems at the time of redemption.

3. Make sure you are KYC compliant and have made your FATCA declaration. FATCA is a US law and as per an India-US treaty, Indian fund investors have to declare if they are US citizens or not.

4. If you have invested through an agent, his/her name code and EUIN number will appear in the account statement. Take a note of it.

5. See your transaction summary. This section mentions the types of transactions that you have opted for, which also include purchase, SIPs, SWPs, etc.

6. Understand your load structure. It gives you details about the entry and exit cost of your investment.

A fund statement is generated within two to three days of your investment in a particular scheme. You receive it within seven to ten working days if you have opted for a physical copy or in three to four working days on your registered email address. If you have not received one, you can always get in touch with the AMC that is managing your fund.

Happy to welcome your questions:-)

Reality versus Fantacy

By
Reality 🆚 Fantacy If a friend with little farming experience told you that he planned to feed himself with food grown on a quarter-acre (1,000 square meters) plot, you’d expect him to go hungry. One can squeeze only so much from a small piece of land.There is, how- ever, a field in which grown-ups let their fantasies fly—in trading. A former employee told me that he planned to support himself trading a $6,000 account. When I tried to show him the futility of his plan, he quickly changed the topic. He was a bright analyst, but refused to see that his “intensive farming” plan was suicidal. In his desperate effort to succeed, he’d have to take on large positions—and the slightest wiggle of the market will quickly put him out of business. A successful trader is a realist. He knows his abilities and limitations. He sees what’s happening in the markets and knows how to react. He analyzes the markets without cutting corners, observes himself, and makes realistic plans. A professional tr...

Emotional Trading

By
Emotional Trading Most people crave excitement and entertainment. Singers, actors, and professional athletes command much higher incomes than such mundane workmen as physicians, pilots, or college professors. People love to have their nerves tickled—they buy lot- tery tickets, fly to LasVegas, and slow down to gawk at road accidents. Emotional trading can be very addictive. Even those who drop money in the mar- kets receive a fantastic entertainment value. The market is a spectator sport and a participant sport rolled into one. Imagine going to a major-league ball game in which you are not confined to the bleachers. Pay a few hundred dollars and be allowed to run onto the field and join the game. If you hit the ball right, you’ll get paid like a professional. You would probably think twice before running onto the field the first few times. This cautious attitude is responsible for the well-known “beginner’s luck.” Once a beginner hits the ball right a few times and collects his p...

How to really buy life insurance

By
When faced with the prospect of figuring out how much insurance to buy, most people pluck a figure out of the air - something that just seems adequate. Or another common practice is to rely on insurance agents to decide a policy and sum assured. This is obviously not the way to make this important decision. The only reasonable way of deciding what and how much insurance you need is to unemotionally create a financial plan that your family should follow if you die suddenly. Families also have to consider the impact of both parents passing away in an accident. The impact of such a tragedy could be greater than just the sum of two deaths occurring separately. Here are five things to consider. Consider these five factors when buying life insurance Time left to retirement: Before buying any term insurance plan, an individual must assess the time left to retire and what 'sum assured' will be sufficient. Time remaining to retire here does not necessarily mean retirement fro...
