"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

Mumbai, Mar 6 () Asset management companies are staring at a Rs 3,345.48-crore hole in their books with their exposure to the equity and bonds of Yes Bank, which is under a 30-day moratorium, according to data from Morningstar. As of January 31, 2020, nearly two dozen mutual fund houses have exposure of close to Rs 526.42 crore to the stock, while 11 have invested Rs 2,819.06 crore in the bonds of the troubled private sector lender, as per the data. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Thursday evening capped withdrawals at Rs 50,000 per depositor for a month and imposed strict limits on operations at the country's fourth-largest private lender that faced "regular outflow of liquidity" after an effort to raise new capital failed. As per the data, SBI Mutual Fund has the highest exposure of Rs 152.83 crore, followed by Rs 142.02 crore by HDFC Mutual Fund in the bank's equities, as at the end of January. Kotak Mutual Fund's exposure was Rs 62.60 crore, while Nippon India Mutual Fund invested Rs 61.21 crore in stocks of the bank. UTI Mutual Fund's exposure was Rs 33.18 crore in the stocks of the bank. Nippon India has the highest exposure of Rs 1,806.28 crore to debt issued by the bank. Earlier in the day, Nippon India Mutual Fund said it has marked down the value of its investments to zero in bonds issued by Yes Bank. In addition, the fund house has imposed a limit of Rs 2 lakh on fresh inflows into the impacted schemes till further notice, it said in a statement. Franklin Templeton and UTI Mutual Fund invested Rs 475.72 crore and Rs 336.67 crore, respectively, in bonds of the lender. Kotak MF's exposure to bonds was Rs 93.83 crore as on January 31, 2020. Mahindra Mutual Fund said it has nil exposure to Yes Bank. "Mahindra Credit Risk Yojana had a net exposure of 1.83 per cent in Yes Bank as of December 31, 2019. We had continued to pare down exposure in Yes Bank, due to the management's inability to demonstrate raising risk/ equity capital," the mutual fund house said in a statement. In February, the company fast-paced its exit from the residual exposure in the bank and have completely exited the same, it said. Quantum Mutual Fund's Fund Manager (Fixed Income) Pankaj Pathak said, "Quantum Liquid Fund prioritises safety and liquidity over returns and invests only in less than 91 day maturity instruments issued by government securities, treasury bills and top rated PSUs."

Markets regulator, the <keyword id="6355630" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="securities-and-exchange-board-of-india">Securities and Exchange Board of India</keyword> (<keyword id="35210" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="sebi">SEBI</keyword>) on Sunday clarified that mutual funds have many options to meet requirements of the circular on asset allocation of multi-cap funds, based on the preference of their unit-holders. In a clarification issued on Sunday, the SEBI said apart from rebalancing their portfolio in the multi-cap schemes, mutual funds could facilitate switch to other schemes by unit-holders, merge their multi-cap scheme with their large-cap scheme or convert their multi-cap scheme to another scheme category, for instance, large-cum-mid-cap scheme. <keyword id="119509" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kotak-Mutual-Fund">Kotak Mutual Fund</keyword> has welcomed the SEBI clarification. Nilesh Shah, Managing Director, Kotak AMC, said in a tweet: "Immense gratitude to SEBI for issuing clarification on a Sunday evening. We will ensure compliance with SEBI Regulations in letter as well as spirit &amp; optimize risk adjusted return for our Investors. Don't take Investment decisions in haste." The SEBI said it is conscious of market stability and therefore, has given time to mutual funds till January 31, 2021 to achieve compliance with the circular, through their preferred route, of which rebalancing of the portfolio is only one such route. "It is reiterated that to achieve the desired objective of True to Label and Appropriate Benchmarking, the SEBI will examine proposals of the industry, if any, received in this regard," it said. The SEBI has issued a circular dated September 11, on multi-cap schemes of mutual funds, requiring them to invest a minimum of 25 per cent each in large, mid and small-cap stocks, with the balance 25 per cent giving flexibility to the fund manager. The regulator said the circular was issued as a need was felt to review the scheme characteristics of multi-cap schemes and take necessary steps to clearly distinguish these from other category of schemes. Multi-cap schemes had flexibility in terms of allocation to large, mid and small-cap stocks. "However, it has recently been observed that some multi-cap schemes have skewed portfolios, with over 80 per cent of investment in large-cap stocks akin to large-cap schemes, and some multi-cap schemes have near zero or insignificant asset allocation to small-cap companies," it said. As per the SEBI circular, it was anticipated that there could be a large inflow of funds into small-cap stocks to meet the requirement of minimum 25 per cent asset allocation.

<ul><li>Market regulator SEBI has sought explanation from mutual funds for delaying payments due to investors.</li><li>Top mutual funds in India are citing reasons to delay repaying investors' money.</li><li>The crisis in India's shadow banks caused by massive defaults by IL&amp;FS and Essel Group is unraveling.</li><li>The Economist had warned of such a crisis earlier calling it India's 'Lehman moment'.</li></ul>When an investor buys a mutual fund, specifically invests in a fund that lends money to corporate borrowers, for a fixed period of a time, it is expected that the fund would return the money to the borrower at the end of the tenure based on the agreed terms. That trust that keeps the mutual fund market running is being tested in India. Two of the country's biggest fund houses, that invest the money pooled in from eager investors, have sought <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/mf/mf-news/essel-group-troubles-have-hdfc-kotak-mutual-fund-seeking-roll-overs/articleshow/68828851.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">to delay the payments due to the clients</a>. Market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, has finally swung into action and has written to Kotak Asset Management Company and HDFC Asset Management Company seeking clarification regarding delays in repayment to investors of fixed maturity plans, <a href="https://www.cnbctv18.com/finance/fmp-crisis-kotak-mutual-funds-hdfc-amc-under-sebi-lens-2942511.htm" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">according to a CNBC-TV18 report</a>. On Monday, Kotak Mutual Fund informed its investors that it would not be able to redeem the securities held by the investors because one of its loans, to the struggling Zee Group has soured. The borrower has sought additional time to repay the debt, and the investors who had trusted their savings with the fund have become collateral damage. 
 <div type="image" title="cotakBI8 (1)" msid="68843945" hostid="261"></div>



 HDFC Mutual Fund, the country’s largest, said it would roll over one of its fixed maturity plans, which is due for redemption on April 15. However, this financial services major that manages billions of people's wealth, has given the payment delay an ironic twist. “The purpose of rollover/ extension is due to current interest rate scenario and portfolio positioning, the yields prevailing in the short maturity bucket present an option for investors to lock in their investments at current prevailing yields,” HDFC MF told its investors. Break it down In simple words, the company is citing high interest rates for short-term loans as an opportunity to reinvest the money that is due. However, can they take that decision unilaterally, without the investors' consent? "Extensions are not possible unless the investors agree. Something like 75% of the investors in that particular scheme have to agree to a rollover. Otherwise a close-ended debt fund has to mature and the money has to be given," Ananth Narayan, professor of finance at SP Jain Institute of Management and Research, told a television channel. The question to ask is will a bank give you more time to pay your dues because someone else failed you? No. Similarly, the fund house is trusted to repay the investors' at maturity, the end of a previously agreed time period. At that point, the choice is with the investors if they want to roll-over the investment for a longer duration or redeem it right away. "We will have to wait for more details. It seems similar to the Kotak situation where some papers might not be liquid enough which is why this option is being provided to investors. I will be very happy if I am wrong and the company clarifies very soon.," Narayan added in his comments. If indeed HDFC Mutual is in a hurry to make the most of rising short-term interest rates in the market, it could start a new fund and investors can be invited to pool in money again based on a new agreement. What seems to be missing in the fund's offer is an explicit consent. Lehman moment The fear in the market is that an increasing number of mutual funds are trying to brush their bad investments in companies like IL&amp;FS, Essel Group etc. under the carpet. In late 2018, many bad business decisions of the past led a set of Indian behemoths to default on their loans leaving behind a financial mess that <a href="https://www.economist.com/business/2018/11/08/indias-banking-system-is-flirting-with-a-lehman-moment" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">the Economist called India's Lehman moment</a>. The reference is to the collapse of the global investment bank, Lehman Brothers, in 2008 that led to the <keyword id="83197" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Global-financial-crisis">global financial crisis</keyword> and a widespread panic that shut all taps for credit across the world. The fear was more Indian financial firms may face losses in the days to come that may lead to a cash crunch and panic within the country, something that seems increasingly plausible with the recent sequence of events. The shadow banks, non-banking financial companies and mutual funds, which had lent money to IL&amp;FS and Essel Group to stand have their backs broken by the massive unpaid dues. IL&amp;FS had a debt of $13 billion when it defaulted on some of it. About 10 fund houses had lent to 16 companies belonging to Essel Group with the promoters' shares as security. To their surprise, the fund managers found out later that some of those shares were already pledged to other lenders. India's problem with unpaid loans, and those at the risk of default, is much bigger than these two. In <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/finance/npa-woes-india-beats-italy-to-be-world-s-worst-non-performing-loan-ratio-119021900322_1.html" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">February this year</a>, the country beat Italy to bag the infamous of having the world's highest proportion of bad loans. What was earlier seen as a problem limited to the banks, it is now becoming evident that the damage may be far wider. Now, the small investors fear for their money that is stuck with the stressed mutual funds. The market regulator SEBI that is expected to protect small investors is still silent.

India's 'Lehman moment' seems closer than ever as top mutual funds defer dues to investors

Mumbai, Jun 2 () Billionaire banker Uday Kotak on Tuesday sold 2.83 per cent of the promoter group's holding in private sector lender Kotak Mahindra Bank for Rs 6,944 crore. The share sale, executed through open market trades, will help Kotak comply with the RBI's stake reduction mandate as the promoter group stake will go down to 26.10 per cent, according to an exchange filing. The deal comes within days of the bank raising over Rs 7,400 crore through a qualified institutional placement of shares over the weekend. The promoter holding in the bank had come down by a tad over 1 per cent from 29.8 per cent after the QIP issue. Kotak had reached a settlement with the RBI earlier this year, as part of which the central bank had asked the promoter holding to come down to 26 per cent by August. The shares were sold to marquee investors at the top end of the indicative price band of Rs 1,215-1,240 per share on Tuesday, market sources said. As per the rules, price at which a share sale happens cannot be less than 1 per cent of the previous day's close, which gets the floor price at Rs 1,236, they said, adding that the shares were sold at Rs 1,240, the highest end of the band indicated earlier to investors. Investors who bought the shares include global names like The Regents of the University of California, Oppenheimer Developing Market Fund, J P Morgan Securities, HSBC Global Investment Funds, Fidelity Funds - Emerging Market Fund, Societe Generale, Canada and Morgan Stanley Asia Singapore, among others. Domestic institutions, including SBI Mutual Fund, Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company and Nippon India Mutual Fund also bought the shares, they said. Kotak now has time till mid-August for selling the remaining 0.10 per cent holding in the bank to comply with the RBI mandate. Last month, he had said that the bank is topping up on capital to participate in any opportunities that may come about because of its expectation of consolidation in the sector and also added that he was looking at multiple options to comply with the 26 per cent holding cap. Even though the ownership has been capped at 26 per cent, the RBI has reduced the voting rights of the promoter group at 15 per cent as part of the arrangement reached earlier. In the case of private-sector lenders, RBI mandates the ownership at 15 per cent for promoters to limit their influence in the running of any bank. KMB had tried to reduce the ownership through a complex debt instrument in August 2018, which did not pass the regulatory muster. The bank dragged the regulator to the Bombay High Court in December of that year and withdrew the case in February this year after reaching the settlement. The KMB scrip gained 7.52 per cent to close at Rs 1,343.20 apiece on the BSE on Tuesday, as against gains of Rs 1.57 per cent on the benchmark. AA MR MR MR

Top Mutual Funds to invest this Diwali for the long-term prosperity of your family

New Delhi, May 20 () Franklin Templeton Trustee Services has appointed Kotak Mahindra Bank to work together with Franklin Templeton Asset Management (India) to assist the trustees in monetising portfolios of the six schemes that are being wound up. Kotak Mahindra Bank, through its debt capital markets team, will work closely with the Franklin Templeton Trustees, to assist with all portfolio actions in these six schemes that are being wound up, Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund said in a statement. Trustees of Franklin Templeton MF said that Kotak Mahindra Bank, a highly reputed firm with strong corporate governance practices and deep financial market experience, will, wherever required, act as their agent and provide its independent advice and assistance to the trustees through the entire process. The appointment will provide the trustees with the added experience and ability to monetise assets at the earliest possible time. "Franklin Templeton is committed to ensuring an orderly and equitable exit for all investors at the earliest possible time, and we will partner with the board of trustees and Kotak Mahindra Bank to ensure an efficient wind-up of these schemes, while preserving maximum value for our investors," said Sanjay Sapre, president of Franklin Templeton India. Sujata Guhathakurta, president (debt capital markets) at Kotak Mahindra Bank, said the bank is looking forward to working closely with the trustees and the asset management company (AMC) to assist them in wind-up of these schemes. Last month, the fund house had closed six of its debt funds, citing redemption pressures and lack of liquidity in the bond markets. These schemes, together having an estimate amount of over Rs 25,000 crore assets under management, were Franklin India Low Duration Fund, Franklin India Dynamic Accrual Fund, Franklin India Credit Risk Fund, Franklin India Short Term Income Plan, Franklin India Ultra Short Bond Fund, and Franklin India Income Opportunities Fund.

Franklin Templeton appoints Kotak Mahindra Bank to assist in monetising assets of 6 wind-up schemes

New Delhi, Apr 21 () Markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday disposed of insider trading charges against Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company in the matter of Manappuram Finance. It was alleged that Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company (earlier known as Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance) sold shares of Manappuram Finance Ltd (MFL) while in possession of unpublished price sensitive information (UPSI) about the company and thereby violated insider trading norms. Sebi, pursuant to investigation in the matter of selective disclosure of UPSI by MFL, observed that Kotak had sold its shares while allegedly in possession of UPSI during March 1-20, 2013 and allegedly violated PIT (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations. Sebi noted that officials of MFL met Ambit Capital Pvt Ltd's research analysts on March 18, 2013 to seek market guidance about the quarterly results and future outlook. Ambit published a research report based on the meeting which was distributed to its clients (broking as well as research) on March 19, 2013 before the market opening hours. In the research report, Ambit had changed its rating of MFL's stock from "buy" to "under review." Ambit published the report based on the meeting which was distributed to its clients (broking as well as research) on March 19, 2013 before the market opening hours. The information of negative profit for the fourth quarter of FY2012-13, which is deemed to be price sensitive information, was disclosed to the stock exchanges by MFL on March 20, 2013 after market hours and the information was already in the public domain before that. Sebi said Kotak was not in a position to know that the information that was distributed in the research report or discussed in the conference call or being covered by media is UPSI. The transactions of Kotak was purely from the point of view of the individual holding life insurance policies issued by the company, and selling of the scrip of MFL during that time was necessary to avoid significant loss to the policy holders in the scheme, since the price of the scrip was rapidly falling after the research report was issued in the morning of March 19, 2013, it added. "It may be noted that the noticee (Kotak) is bound by its fiduciary responsibility with the policy holders to act in their best interest," Sebi said. "I do not find a reasonable and acceptable degree of probability towards proving beyond doubt or even, without existence of significant doubt that Noticee (Kotak) had traded in the scrip of MFL when in possession of UPSI and hence, the allegation of violation of...PIT Regulations...does not stand established," Sebi Adjudicating Officer Vijayant Kumar Verma said while disposing of the show cause notice without any penalty. Earlier, Sebi had disposed of insider trading allegations against four mutual fund houses -- SBI Funds Management, Aditya Birla Sunlife AMC, IDFC Asset Management Company and BNP Paribas Asset Management -- in the same matter.
