Reliance Mutual Fund lowest bidder for managing NPS

MUMBAI: Reliance Mutual Fund has emerged as the lowest bidder among the fund managers qualified to manage funds in National Pension Scheme (NPS) for private sector on behalf of the sector regulator PFRDA. Its bid of 1 paise for every Rs 100 worth of NPS funds was way below the other nine bidders, which included UTIMF, DSP Blackrock MF and HDFC Pension Fund Management, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HDFC Standard Life. Bids by all the other nine entities were between 15 paise and 25 paise per Rs 100 worth of funds, sources said.

In the next stage, according to PFRDA's request for proposal for bids that was published earlier, all the bidders who bid higher than Reliance MF, will be asked to match the lowest bid, that is Reliance MF's. The fund managers who finally qualify under this round of bidding will manage NPS funds of between Rs 500 crore and Rs 1,000 crore, sources said.

Industry players, however, said that Reliance MF's bid did not make any commercial sense since the cost has to take care of fund management fees, brokerage expenses, marketing etc, and all these costs cannot be covered within the 1 paise cost the company has bid. "This can actually distort the market," said a top official associated with the pension fund management at one of the fund houses which had bid higher than Reliance MF. A spokesperson for Reliance MF declined to comment.

MFs raise expenses for liquid funds

MFs raise expenses for liquid funds The Rs 9 lakh crore mutual fund (MF) sector has finally decided to increase the expense ratio for liquid schemes - which have attracted the largest amount of short-term money, of Rs 2.5 lakh crore - to 20 basis point (bps). According to sector sources, the top 10-15 fund houses have come together and decided to charge 20 bps from February. "While there is no written understanding, we decided it's time, so that schemes do not incur losses," said the chief executive officer (CEO) of an MF who was part of these discussions. Many fund houses were charging as little as 2-5 bps in their liquid schemes. The decision comes at a time when liquid funds have been driving the sector's growth. As a recent CRISIL report noted, the assets of MFs rose to Rs 9.03 lakh crore in January, primarily because of the increase in liquid assets by 43 per cent or Rs 77,500 crore (total increase in assets was Rs 83,000 crore).

Rupee falls to 5-month low, bond yields continue to rise

Rupee falls to 5-month low, bond yields continue to rise On Wednesday, the rupee ended at 61.5/dollar, a five-month low, compared with its previous close of 60.85/dollar, owing to increased demand for dollars after data showed the US was on a recovery path. There is concern the US might resort to raising interest rates sooner than expected, due to which emerging markets such as India will see outflows. The rupee opened at 61.04/dollar and, during intra-day trade, touched a low of 61.53/dollar. On March 5, it had closed at 61.76 a dollar. Since the beginning of this financial year, the currency has depreciated three per cent. "On Wednesday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervened through state-run banks, but in small volumes. There was not much dollar supply," said Sandeep Gonsalves, forex consultant and dealer, Mecklai & Mecklai. RBI's foreign exchange reserves are only $23 million short of its all-time high of $320.79 billion, recorded on September

Lessons from the Satyam scam

-
Lessons from the Satyam scam The signs of the Satyam scam should have come almost three weeks before when Ramalinga Raju proposed to buy a controlling stake in sister concern Maytas for around Rs 7,000 crore. When the institutional investors opposed vehemently, the company decided to go against it. Three weeks later on January 7, Raju confessed to 'cooking' Satyam's books. Within the next few days, the share price crashed to almost Rs 10 causing losses of over Rs 5,000 crore to around 300,000 investors. In the past five years, a number of companies have been suspended or fallen into bad times with Pyramid Saimira, Deccan Chronicle and Kingfisher Airlines being some of the more prominent examples. Usually, in such situations, individual investors get caught on the wrong side even if they have invested in such stocks through mutual funds. Sample this: When Satyam declared that they are withdrawing the proposal to buy the controlling stake in Maytas, many brokerage
