Assignment B

Case Detail:

 

What is a benchmark in a mutual fund?

Investors are often told they could have earned xx% return if they had invested in a particular fund. Many of them are astonished seeing these returns. Financial planners suggest that mutual fund returns should not be looked at in isolation. It must be judged in comparison to the broader markets to understand the real performance. This is where a mutual fund benchmark is useful.

 

What is a benchmark?

A benchmark is a standard against which the performance of a mutual fund can be measured. Since 2012, SEBI made it mandatory for fund houses to declare a benchmark index. This benchmark is independent and is based on the objectives of your fund. Most large-cap oriented equity funds benchmark themselves against the Sensex or the Nifty. Other benchmarks are CNX Midcap, CNX Smallcap, S&P BSE 200, etc. Hence, an investor in an equity mutual fund benchmarked against the CNX Midcap, should compare his returns accordingly.

 

How do you measure performance of a mutual fund against its benchmark?

If the scheme of the mutual fund that you have invested in delivers higher returns than the benchmark, it is said to have outperformed and vice-versa. On the other hand, if the benchmark index falls over a period of time and during the same time, your fund's NAV falls lesser (in percentage terms), your fund can still be said to have outperformed the benchmark. Financial planners point out that if an actively managed fund delivers returns in-line with the benchmark, it should be considered as underperformance. This is because a professional fund manager has charged you a fee and only delivered returns equal to an index fund (a passively managed scheme that does not engage a fund manager).

 

What is the importance of long-term performance?

When comparing a scheme with its benchmark, ensure that you consider the performance of the fund over longer time frames and not just short time frame. Look at data for one, three, five and even 10-year returns. When a fund consistently outperforms its benchmark indices, it indicates consistency in performance. However, the benchmark performance is one way to choose a fund. Financial advisors suggest that you understand y...
