Re: Hedge Funds queries

Hello friends,

I have a few queries. Could you assist me how to find the answers for the same?

1) what are the restrictions on Indian investors to invest in hedge funds and private equity funds and what is the maximum amount they can invest?
There are no hedge funds in india. PE funds are available. You have to contact the corresponding AMC regarding the details of that investment.

2) What is the maximum amount an institution can invest into a hedge fund or private equity fund and is it allowed for a corporate pension of a large company based in India to invest in these products?
Pension funds are either not allowed or allowed 10% to invest in Equity. Not exactly sure but the investment by pension funds in the stock market is heavily restricted.

Re: mutual fund return for long time

you can expect 30% to 40%.. there is no wrong in it.. invest in midcap fund there is possibility of such returns and of course risk is also on same scale.

But ..around 15% is average expectation in market.

Re: mutual fund return for long time

Back to square one, Sensex is down almost same level what it was 3 years back.

Financial expert will advice to stay for at least 3-5 years, hopefully that advice will be correct.

I will not be surprise if 3-5 years will be replaced by 10 years LOL !

Re: mutual fund return for long time

My speculation on the sensex is that.....

It will bottom out only after equity mutual funds start facing redemption presssures and begun selling. FIIs and HNIs have sold out or currently selling in the market. But equity mfs are still having inflows. When there is total pessimism and when the medium to long term investors lose patience and start withdrawing there money from equitiess or equity mfs will the bear market end. That would be the last leg. It shall be followed by a stagnant period. After this we could expect a 15-20% growth.

So as you say 3,5,10 or maybe even 20 (if us goes into depression) for all this to pan out

Every big thing we accept as great achievement was started with
small thoughts and it was seeming impossible on that particular time.

Have a look on these figures :

Stocks Price 30th June Price as on 22nd Nov Increase
%

ABB 2496 3548 42%
Bharat Forge 313 379 21%
ACC 786 1070 36%
BHEL 1949 2470 26%
Gammon 347 445 28%
HDFC 1134 1641 44%
HDFC Bank 792 1076 35%
Hero Honda 791 736 -7%
ICI Bank 488 880 80%
Maruti 796 896 12%
Mcdowell 423 806 90%
OBC 170 243 42%
Ranbaxy 356 381 7%
REL 453 552 21%
RELCAP 490 581 20%
SBI 727 1250 72%
SRF 202 209 3%
Tata Steel 534 473 -11%
TCS 1738 1148 -33%
TV-18 517 894 73%
VSNL 400 438 9%
Wipro 512 581 13%

(Some of stock have been split and I have not taken those in this
list also I really don't know what is the problem with TCS as I am
not trading with stocks now)

I had posted one massage under the title of SUPPORT AND RESITANCE on
03rd July 2006 to give an ideal about entry and stop loss levels to
intraday traders, with this massage I uploaded one excel file as
SUPPORT AND RESITANCE CALCUATOR in the file section of the group.
(members can have a look on that file again) Instead of placing one
or two stocks as example I placed all the list of stocks I was
tracking from last more than one year on that particular time. Why I
did it ?

I had posted one more article under the name of MUTUAL FUNDS VS STOCK
MARKET on 08th May 2006 (you can again read it at the end of the
massage) and I received 7 negative comments in one row. All the
members had not only neglected my theory, but also, they had given
some valuable comments as "Will try to elaborate to night." (this is
a different issue that he has never come back in last 7 months). An
expert member written "As expert we could hardly manage with
sensex." (Well, what can I say about you ? mastery in investing is
not the license for mastery in trading too.) An other member
written " This is ridiculous." (really, I don't know what should I
say?)Anyway, we all are the great citizens of a great country and we
have all the great rights to comment on everything-no matter we know
the facts or not.

You have seen the results above. What those members will say now ?
(It is not one year, only 5 months have passed from the date of
uploading that file)

This was also interesting that I asked about the report of one (any)
single mutual fund which has delivered 50% to 60% return in last five
years (as some of members written in their massages) but no one has
tried to post me even one single report but yes I received one report
on 7th June 2006 with a massage "mutual fund performance since the
market fall started after May 10, 2006. Approx 74 funds(schemes) fell
by less than the NIFTY and SENSEX i.e 21%" also "About 65% of the
schemes under performed NIFTY and SENSEX. This means clearly
indicates mutual fund investing is a calculated move for furthering
one 's wealth." Well can I ask them please why mutual funds lost
(less than 21% means it may be 18%) so much and why not 5% or 8%,
after all they are managed by experts and professionals ?

Anyway, the purpose of writing this all story is that better we know
the facts before commenting on anything. It is not necessary that one
is agree with other but it is also not necessary that what you are
saying is right and nothing is beyond that.

( If any one has considered that list for trading or investing
purpose, please book the profit now as there may be a sharp decline
in December 2006 and one will have a chance to buy back these stocks
on lower prices, also I am not an expert anyway so treat this
suggestion as my personal view.)
