Hybrid mutual funds scheme gain popularity, attract Rs 20,634 crore in Jan

Hybrid mutual fund schemes have been gaining popularity among investors, attracting Rs 20,634 crore in January, marking a 37 per cent surge from the previous month, largely due to their appeal as an alternative investment option post-change in taxation laws for debt funds. With this, total inflow in the category reached Rs 1.21 lakh crore in the April-January period of the current financial year (FY24). However, hybrid schemes saw outflow in the same period of the preceding financial year. Hybrid funds are mutual fund schemes that typically invest in a combination of equity and debt securities and sometimes in other asset categories such as gold. The category has been attracting regular inflows since April 2023, after a change in taxation for debt funds that kicked off in the same month. Before that, the segment saw a net withdrawal of Rs 12,372 crore in March last year. According to the latest data with the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi), hybrid schemes witnessed an

Crypto currencies have no underlying value: RBI exec director Vasudevan

Crypto currencies cannot be referred to as "currencies" as they have no underlying value, a central bank official said. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has been critical of new-age currencies like bitcoins, saying they pose systemic risk to the financial systems. "Crypto currencies cannot be called currencies as they don't have any underlying value," P Vasudevan, an executive director at the RBI, said during a panel discussion organised by IIM-Kozhikode here. Ultimately it is a call that the government has to take on how to tackle crypto currencies, the official said. Currently, bitcoins have no legal backing in India and investors have to pay a tax on the income earned by trading in them. In the backdrop of the action against Paytm Payments Bank and curbs imposed on some international card providers, Vasudevan said self-regulation can protect the fintech sector better. He also said that mechanisms could be looked at to highlight bad behaviour.

Increase import duty on paper, paperboards to 25% in Budget: Industry body

Domestic paper and paperboard manufacturers have demanded a hike in import duty to 25 per cent on paper products and the imposition of a quality control order in the upcoming Budget to discourage cheap inward shipments. The Indian Paper Manufacturers Association (IPMA), in a statement on Monday, said that in its pre-budget submissions to the government, it has urged for increasing the basic customs duty on the import of paper and paperboard from 10 per cent to 25 per cent as India's WTO Bound rate is 40 per cent on these products. The association has also asked for the issuance of quality control orders (QCOs) for different grades of paper to ensure the supply of quality products to Indian consumers and check the import of sub-standard products into the country. IPMA President Pawan Agarwal urged the government to keep paper and paperboard on the negative list while reviewing the existing FTAs (ASEAN, South Korea and Japan) and formulating new ones.

FPIs turn cautious, pull out Rs 13,000 cr from Indian stocks in Jan: Data

Foreign investors have adopted a cautious approach this month, offloading domestic equities worth Rs 13,000 crore in the first three weeks owing to high valuations of Indian stocks and surging US bond yields. In contrast, foreign investors are bullish on the debt market and injected Rs 15,647 crore in the debt market during the period under review, data with the depositories showed. According to the data, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) made a net investment of Rs 13,047 crore in Indian equities this month (till January 19). They pulled out over Rs 24,000 crore from equities during January 17-19. Before this, FPIs made a net investment of Rs 66,134 crore in December and Rs 9,000 crore in November. "There are two main reasons why FPIs turned sellers. One, the US bond yield started rising with the 10-year yield rising from the recent level of 3.9 per cent to 4.15 per cent triggering capital outflows from emerging markets," V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit ...

India should consider a regulatory sandbox approach to deal with issues related to crypto products and services, economic think tank GTRI said in its report on Sunday. Regulatory sandbox usually refers to live testing of new products or services in a controlled/test regulatory environment for which regulators may (or may not) permit certain relaxations for the limited purpose of the testing. The Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said that in the light of crypto's acceptance in the regular financial system in the US, it remains to be seen how India's crypto policy evolves in coming months. With the new US action, with ramifications on global capital flows, price of gold, foreign trade, it may not be possible to live with no regulation, it said.

In "Investing Decoded: Simple Path to Building A Portfolio in Millions", Anirudh Rathore provides a beginner's guide to acquiring the tools and mindset required to start securing one's financial future. Taking risks, according to the author, is a key part of investing. He encourages investors to see the market as a tool for long-term success and to stick to their choices rather than changing stocks frequently, which can hurt performance. Rathore, who taught himself to invest during the uncertainties of the pandemic, emphasises that one doesn't need a finance degree to start growing money.
