The inflow into these funds were ₹107 billion, the highest in the last seven months. People invest in mutual funds in India for financial security, to grow their wealth as well as to save on taxes. The Indian government allows a rebate on income tax on money invested in mutual funds up to a maximum of ₹150,000 a year to every individual under section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The amount of money coming into mutual funds had slowed down in the last few months as investors became wary of betting more money in the market for a variety of reasons-- from slowing economy to the risk of elections to growing global tensions, both geopolitical and economic. People who have been investing in systematic investment plans -- small monthly investments-- continued their practice. However, new signings have been lower four out of the last six months showing that there is still palpable fear among investors.

"The investment objective of the scheme is to generate capital which invests into such companies that utilize new forms of production, technology, distribution or process which are likely to significantly challenge existing markets and value networks, displace established market operators, products and/or business models," it said in a press release. And, it will invest in companies which are either listed or unlisted too. It’s not usual for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/mutual-funds-types-in-india/articleshow/69285779.cms">mutual funds</a> to invest in unlisted companies since they balance exposure between equity and debt securities. Kotak Pioneer Fund, on the other hand, will be looking to invest in unlisted equities that fall within the guidelines stipulated by market regulator, the Securities Exchange Board of India (<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/topic/sebi">SEBI</a>). But, this fund has an underlying requirement. These startups or companies have to either be working on a new a new product, a new process, a new application of an existing process or a new way to reach out to customers — something the fund puts under the umbrella on ‘pioneering innovations’. The new fund will be managed by Harish Krishnan, the Senior Vice President and Equity Fund Manager at Kotak Mutual Fund. It has opened for subscription today, October 9, and will close on October 23. "Kotak Pioneer Fund will follow a thematic approach of investing in companies that have a proven track record of multiple revenue streams, resulting in improved customer salience," said Krishnan. High-risk bets on innovation According to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/topic/Kotak">Kotak</a>, the fund is recognising that business models are quickly changing in today’s economic climate. It proposes that companies that innovate and adapt to the changing environment, are more likely to succeed in the future. The aim is to bring more companies on board that are looking to apply new forms of production, technology, distribution or processes that will challenge the existing status-quo in the markets. A <a href="https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2017/02/26/should-mutual-funds-invest-in-startups/">University of Utah</a> <a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2911394">study</a> notes that mutual fund investments in startups pose certain concerns for investors, which is why they are uncommon. It states that liquidity can be a concern since as startups don’t trade shares in the stock market. It also points out that valuations of these startups are based on the management’s discretion, as there’s no market price for guidance. And, because of the discretion in valuation, it’s possible that these funds have a greater vulnerability for misconduct. Looking beyond India The Kotak Pioneer Fund won’t exclusively be looking at companies in India, but across the globe. Nearly 35% of the funds raised could be invested in overseas securities or funds. That being said, India recently moved up on the Global Innovation Index from ranking 57th in 2018 to 52nd in 2019. So many Indian startups could gain as well. "The fund is diversified across sectors and stock to achieve risk mitigation and provides diversification across geographies as well," said Krishnan. As much as 80% to 100% of the Kotak Pioneer Fund will make investments in pioneering innovation themes while 20% can be geared towards debt security and equity.

Kotak’s new mutual fund is looking for investors with an appetite for risk to bet on startups

<ul><li>The campaign talks about ETW Approach (E- Easy to invest, T - a taxing saving investment, W – helps in long term wealth creation).</li><li>It has been conceptualized and creatively led by Mirum India.</li></ul><keyword id="112970" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="axis-mutual-fund" source="Orion">Axis Mutual Fund</keyword>, one of the country’s leading <keyword id="6354820" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mutual-fund" source="Orion">mutual fund</keyword> houses, unveiled its new campaign for the upcoming tax season called #ELSSHaiNa. The investor education campaign aims to reiterate the importance of investing in ELSS (Equity Linked Savings Schemes that offer tax benefits under section 80C of the Income Tax Act) as a preferred and hassle-free option to save on tax. One of the most crucial mistakes that most investors make is that they leave tax planning for the last minute. Towards the end of the year, people realise that they need to invest in the right financial instruments to save tax but aren’t able to choose the right one. One can often hear the phrase “Tax ka kya socha hai?” and conversations around it gain momentum as investors rush to understand how can they save tax or how much time is left to make the right investment or even what are the right instruments to invest in! Chandresh Nigam, MD &amp; CEO, Axis AMC said, “At Axis AMC, we have always upheld the importance of Responsible Investing. As money managers, it is our duty to not only educate investors about the significance of investing in quality assets over the long term but also help them grow wealth while saving on tax in an efficient manner. ELSS is an option that is known to all investors. But without having spent the adequate time to optimize the right tax planning solution, investors often make hasty decisions and miss out on the most logical and easy option.” The new campaign by Axis Mutual Fund builds on the insight that the tax season can be anxiety-inducing, only if you have not planned well in advance. Through a series of three films, #ELSSHaiNa aims to make investors realise that at any given point in their lives, investing in ELSS for tax saving should be a ‘no-brainer’ option. The films use humour as a tool to highlight how planning for tax via ELSS is simple and hassle free. In the first film, the protagonist is aware that he needs to plan for the tax saving season. He has taken the advice of several people around him but has still reached no desirable solution. <div type="Youtube" id="JwaLZz_U0QU" title="Tax savings ke liye sochna kya hai, #ELSSHaiNa!" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JwaLZz_U0QU/mqdefault.jpg"></div> In the second film, a newly married couple is can’t seem to decide on their honeymoon destination despite the multiple suggestions by their family members. <div type="Youtube" id="Qp9H3uQ-V-g" title="Iss tax season sochna kya hai, #ELSSHaiNa!" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Qp9H3uQ-V-g/mqdefault.jpg"></div> On the other hand, in the third film, the key character is confused over what to gift an extended cousin for their wedding. <div type="Youtube" id="XR8764psAN8" title="When it's about tax-saving, tab sochna kya hai, #ELSSHaiNa!" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XR8764psAN8/mqdefault.jpg"></div> All three films tie back to the proposition that all these aforementioned decisions seem worrying at best. But, when it comes to tax planning, “Sochna Kya Hai?”, because “#ELSSHaiNa”. Raghav Iyengar, Chief Business Officer, Axis AMC asserted, “Thanks to the continued efforts by MF industry, ELSS has started to gain widespread acceptance amongst the investor community. However, tax planning is still viewed as a strenuous and chaotic task. We need more awareness initiatives and campaigns such as ours, will be instrumental in connecting with the wider masses. The three distinct narratives of #ELSSHaiNa focus on capturing investment sentiment across age categories, genders, geographies. Furthermore, Axis Mutual Fund’s 360-degree approach for the campaign will leverage the power of digital, TV, radio, and the print medium to resonate and engage with the target audience.”
