Reviewing Mutual Funds Portfolio

I have recently redeemed two of my mutual funds and started investing them in different mutual funds of the same category I did this because those 2 Mutual Funds were not performing good from last 1.5 years What does it mean by mutual funds were not performing good? Does it mean that they were not giving me great returns? There is no such definition of good Returns, Good returns can be of 10%, 20% too, and even 40% And the correction that came in market in last 1.5 to 2 years and the condition of market hasn't provided good returns to the investors If your phone's performance is not good Then it can't only mean that the battery backup of that phone is not proper Performance can mean other factors too. If someone's girlfriend wants to break up with them the reason for breakup can't be that he bought his girlfriend a normal Pizza instead of cheese Burst. There will be many other factors due to which the breakup is being done Anyway jokes apart, So even if you want to know which those Mutual Funds in your portfolio could be which you might need to switch too. Then today's video can help you a lot. You only need to understand this video properly I have tried my best to explain everything in detail in this video So let's start quickly My name is Ranjan and you are watching your everyday guide So which is the right way to review your mutual fund portfolio And how to do it, you will learn that soon. But before that it is necessary that why you should review your Mutual Funds portfolio So first thing is very simple and straight forward That every investor must do a review of its own portfolio If that investor has completed one year duration Investing money in his mutual funds. Then whether you want to invest your money for 5 or 25 years Because we are talking about the money you have earned with your hard work So to monitor that money is important for you And if it has been 1 year since you are investing in mutual funds I am saying this because we are not asking you to review stock portfolio We are talking about reviewing mutual fund portfolio And how is some mutual fund performing is difficult to get an idea within a year And it's even not right. Judging any Mutual Funds performance within a year There is no specific reason for it Some people keep on monitoring their mutual fund performance in 2 days or within a week That how much return they are getting from mutual funds It won't help you much, your patience will drop And your tension will increase I think you should stop doing that Yes if you want to monitor The returns you get from your mutual funds Then the day your SIP gets debit or you do manual investment You can check your mutual fund returns on that day This is the one thing and to understand the other thing is very important Many investors think that the mutual fund in which they have invested their money Is because that is the best mutual fund, the CAGR of it is great, And that mutual fund has given great returns to its investors in last 3-4 years Then even I should start my SIP in this mutual funds and be worry free Because according to SIP calculator this mutual fund will make me a millionaire in next 10 years If you think the same then be alert for sometime and listen this carefully That if any mutual fund has given great performance in past And it's return has been great That doesn't mean that those mutual fund will keep on giving great returns in future There is no such kind of blessing to that Mutual Fund The important thing for you is that time to time, as I said, minimum once a year Keep reviewing that Mutual Fund To know that your thinking through which you invested in that Mutual Fund Is something like that happening with you or not Or you need to change something I had made a video on Mutual Funds named buy and forget That means you can start your SIP in this mutual funds And keep on investing your investments in this mutual funds for a long time The mutual funds I talk about in that video are not best performing mutual funds But yes they are kind of all rounder mutual funds Which will keep on giving you consistent performance In every market scenario The people who want to become rich in short period didn't like this mutual funds As I saw in some comments I am sure they will be a millionaire in next 2-3 years May god fullfill their wish. On the other hand the smart people And know how to keep patience The focus more on consistent performance rather than best performance So why should we review our mutual fund portfolio and when should we do it I have told you that Now let's talk about what is known as actually reviewing mutual fund portfolio And how we do it So to review our mutual fund portfolio, first thing is fund performance To know any Mutual Fund's performance First thing we have is Mutual Fund versus benchmark So every mutual fund has a benchmark of its own And this benchmark is actually compulsory Because benchmark is the thing which is base of any Mutual Fund And the allocation done in any mutual fund is according to that benchmark Every benchmark has a performance according to market And multiple Mutual Funds can follow a particular benchmark But one mutual fund can have only one benchmark For example if any Mutual Fund's benchmark is Nifty 100 TRI That means that Mutual Funds allocate according to large cap Index And it is a surprising that you will find many such large cap mutual funds Who can't even beat its own benchmark So how can you check any Mutual Fund's performance comparing it to its benchmark For that let's go to moneycontrol.com So I have come here on moneycontrol.com Here we will search any mutual fund for example I am searching Axis bluechip and I will choose mutual fund here. And you can see here we have Axis Blue chip regular plan But we are interested in checking Axis Blue chip fund direct plan If I click on it I will reach Axis's Blue chip fund direct plan page And this is not a paid promotion of Moneycontrol This is an old and trustworthy website You might get to know a lot about any mutual fund or stocks So if you want to compare any mutual fund from its benchmark So you can easily do that by visiting this website So anyway if I come a little down by scrolling Then you will see a graph here like this And on Moneycontrol by default if you see any scheme Then that scheme is shown by comparing it with its benchmark So as it's in Axis Blue chip fund case It's benchmark is S&P BSE 100 TRI That means it follows S&P BSE 100 TRI instead of Nifty 100 TRI So you will see the returns given by this benchmark in last one year I have selected one year here It has given returns of 16.19% And this fund itself has given 10.83% return That means this one hasn't beat its benchmark in the last one year Which means the performance of this fund is not good according to its benchmark You can check out the rest of the data on this graph Orange line is of its benchmark and blue one is of Axis Blue chip fund In the beginning of last year you can see that blue line is above the orange line That means the performance of Axis Blue chip fund is good according to its benchmark But later on the blue line is running below its benchmark That means this mutual fund is under performing continuously As compared to its benchmark In the same way if I make this duration of 2 year instead of 1 Then even if we see in the duration of 2 years So if we see Axis Blue chip fund performance from here, it's approx march 30, 2022, That means the performance of Axis Blue chip fund from after March 2022 was consistently very poor according to benchmark So even in 2 years duration Axis Blue chip fund has not beat its benchmark Where benchmark has given returns of 10.49% And returns given by this scheme there are 4.78% So if I choose any other mutual fund in comparison of this For example if I want to see any other large cap fund instead of Axis Blue chip fund That how was its performance according to its benchmark So you can search any other mutual fund here I have already searched here for you So that we don't waste time So if we see SBI Bluechip fund which is another large cap fun So if we scroll down come here and check its 1 year return So it's benchmark is S&P BSE 100 TRI too. That's the reason I choose this fund here And The returns given by benchmark, as we saw, was 16.19% in last 1 year And this scheme has given returns of 20.65% That means this fund has beat its benchmark with great margin You can see the rest of the data on this graph The blue line here is running continuously above the orange line In the last one year that means this fund has consistently beat it's benchmark If we see the returns of 2 years In 2 years where benchmark has given 10.49% of returns Where as the returns given by SBI Bluechip fund is of 11.84% And there is not much difference in benchmark and scheme's return in 2 years duration That's the reason you can see in graph Blue and Orange lines are almost overlapping That is SBI Blue chip fund is performing almost around its benchmark And later on coming here it's started beating its benchmark Send the same way you can check out other Mutual Funds on this website In which you are thinking about investing or already investing You can compare them with their benchmarks To know that the scheme in which you are investing is able to beat its benchmark or not Because according to this you can judge any scheme or Mutual Funds performance So it's important for any mutual fund to beat its benchmark Now the topic comes on checking funds consistence performance So as I said it's important for any mutual fund to beat its own benchmark But a scheme is beating it's benchmark sometimes Or a scheme consistently beating its benchmark These are two different things. So the second thing is very important that means you have to check here That in last one or two years that scheme has beat its benchmark consistently or not So a consistent performance of any mutual fund matters Even though that mutual fund doesn't give you high returns So to check any mutual fund's performance first thing is to compare that fund with its benchmark Second thing comes as compare the fund with other funds of same category To understand performance of any Mutual Fund It is necessary to compare that mutual fund with its benchmark But only comparing with benchmark will not work Because many actively manage Mutual Funds are like The ones which beats its own benchmark Also notice that the category of Mutual Fund in which you have invested How was the performance of other Mutual Funds of the same category in the same duration If there is any other mutual fund who has performed great Whose returns were great Then you have to see that how much the AUM is of other Mutual Fund AUM means asset under management That means how much is the fund size of that Mutual Fund Actually what happens is some new Mutual Funds come in the market Who's AUM is very less But if you see the returns of this mutual fund it will be very high That doesn't mean the mutual fund which has high return is good You even have to check the AUM of any Mutual Fund Only then you can consider that mutual fund a good Mutual Fund Because we will call it and actual comparison So all we talked about was about fund performance Now let's talk about mutual fund portfolio overlap Whenever we start investing in mutual funds it sometime happens That we get some mutual fund whose performance is going great In that particular year And then we start investing in that Mutual Fund either through lump sum or SIP For example that can be two flexicap Mutual Fund It might be that you had already invested your money in one Flexi cap Mutual Fund But now you have started investing in another Flexi cap mutual fund too So at the time of your portfolio review you have to see that which are those Mutual Funds which belong to the same category And how much portfolio overlap is there in between them You should check portfolio overlap before investing in any new Mutual Fund But as I said we sometimes by mistake invest in such mutual fund But no worries we do mutual fund portfolio review for this only So that we get to know about it all If you want to check how much portfolio overlap is there in between two mutual funds That is how many number of common stocks are there Then you can use this tool named thefundoo.com Again this is not a paid promotion I have talked about this tool in my previous videos If you enter any fund name here for example here I have already entered Axis equity fund name. I will enter Axis Blue chip equity fund instead of that So Axis Blue chip G that means Growth Fund And if we compare SBI Bluechip Growth Fund with it So if we click on go you will see that it will calculate And then will show you how much overlap is there between this 2 schemes You can see other things here but I am mainly interested in showing you this that How much percentage portfoli overlap is there here So the portfolio overlap here is of 51% Which is a huge overlap And the number of common stocks between them is 21 So if the overlap of any two mutual funds is above 35 or 40% Then that mutual fund is neither bad but not too good for you For example if you are already investing your money in Axis Blue chip fund Then investing in SBI Bluechip fund with that will not be beneficial for you It would be better to invest in any one of this instead of both And exit from the other scheme Now let's talk about other factors of any Mutual Fund So first of all we have change in fund manager Has there any change in the fund manager of the schemes in which you are invested If there is a change then why it has occurred? And what is the experience of the new fund manager who replaced them. Normally it is very difficult for mutual fund investor to notice this thing Because no one notice this thing That who was the fund manager of that mutual fund when you invested in it But in any mutual fund if the fund manager get replaced it will have a major effect on its performance Next point is change in AUM or fund size Is the fund size of this mutual fund decreasing instead of increasing? If it is decreasing a little bit than that is no issue But if you see a big noticeable change then you have to be a bit alert Decrease in fund size means many people are trying to get out from that Mutual Fund They are trying to exit that Mutual Fund Due to which it can affect a lot on the returns you will get Next point is change in expense ratio Is there any change in the expense ratio of this fund? If fund is performing great And if its expense ratio is increased by 0.1 or 0.2% Then it's no big thing Because it's not necessary that if any Mutual Funds expense ratio is less Then that mutual fund scheme would be great There are many schemes whose expense ratio is a bit higher But their performance is great too. Yes but if fund doesn't perform and its expense ratio increases It would be same like "It never rains, but it pours" These were all the points through which you can review your mutual fund portfolio And can know the performance of your existing mutual funds I hope I have covered all the important points here If you think I have missed some important point then you can inform me in the comment section If you find this video helpful then do let me know by liking it And don't forget to subscribe the channel We will meet soon in the next video.
