Why AVOID Sector Specific Funds ?

November 22, 20071 min read

If you look at our recommendations, our Analysts have always recommended various Diversified funds. We had received few e-mails last year on how we missed the opportunity in IT Specific funds. Well Investors, we were the first one to burn our fingures in Sector specfic funds, especially in IT sector in 2000. [Gul Tekchandani’s Sun Emerging IT fund, Samir Arora’s Alliance IT Fund etc]

Now in the image to your left, you can see yourself the returns IT specific funds have given in the past one year Vs Diversified Equity funds.

IT Funds – 0.39%
Diversified Funds – 44.57%

A Year ago IT funds were at 55% and Diversified Funds were again at 40%.

The focus of our investment advise is for disciplined investors who are serious to create wealth. Now to share the insider information, the fund managers of Diversified funds are also very smart. When they feel Banking or Capital Goods stocks are going to rise, they go for the top 5 stocks in the sector and ride the boom and exit. It is not that they are not participating at all.

Happy Investing!!!

November 22, 20072 min read

We had an exclusive coverage of Jaiprakash Associates [JP Associates] last month. Now Merill Lynch and Sharekhan have upgraded the stock.

JPA has launched the first tranche of a 3mn sq. ft development (see Chart 4) at its NOIDA land bank. Sales at JP Greens are likely to be robust at >1mn sq. ft in FY08E. The initial response to the bookings appears to be very strong, as the average rate stands at Rs6,000 per square foot. Formula 1 Holdings has confirmed signing a contract with JPSK Sports (subs. of JPA) to stage the first-ever F1 Grand Prix at NCR, India in 2010. We think F1 circuit will be accompanied with related land bank, which would justify investment.
