Multi-asset portfolio, SIP inflows, & more!

What is asset allocation and how does periodic rebalancing help your portfolio achieve better results? In this episode of #KuveraInsights, we speak with Aashish, MD & CEO – Motilal Oswal Asset Management and Alex, Anchor & Special Correspondent, Bloomberg Quint to discuss the importance of maintaining a multi-asset portfolio and periodic rebalancing. 

 

 

SIP inflows stood at Rs 7,917 crore in June, a dip of 2.53% from the same month last year while the total number of SIP folios in May jumped to 3.23 crore from 3.16 crore in April. Explaining the rationale behind the fall in SIP inflows, NS Venkatesh, CEO – Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), said – 

“The small dip in SIPs is largely because of the COVID impact as cash flows have been affected. Plus the (MF) industry has also provided a SIP pause facility, so a lot of people have opted for pause facility because of which inflows have fallen marginally.” 

 

 

UTI Mutual Fund has received all its dues from Zee Learn Limited. UTI Credit Risk Fund had 9% (Rs 40.77 crore) exposure meanwhile UTI medium-term fund had exposure of 3.02% (Rs 3.4 crore). UTI AMC had side pocketed the schemes on 7 July following a rating downgrade of the Essel Group company by CARE Ratings. Investors holding units in the pertaining segregated portfolios will receive proportionate payments from the AMC.
