Why Should You Go for ELSS Funds?

First thing first, Equity Linked Savings Schemes (ELSS) is the tax saving Mutual Funds which give tax benefit under section 80C. But what makes it the most desirable tax saver under section 80C?

Among all other tax saving investment instruments under section 80C, ELSS funds have the lowest lock-in period—which is only 3 years. It also has the potential to give higher capital appreciation.

Review of ITI ELSS Mutual Fund Peers

This ITI ELSS Fund is an NFO from a relatively new fund house. It is impossible to project its future performance, let alone reviewing of ITI Long Term Equity Fund without any track record.

However, we see the performance of other existing ELSS funds. This should give you an idea of how ELSS funds can perform.

Fund Name Launch Year Return Since Launch 3Year Return
(Lock-in Period)
Axis Long Term Equity Fund Dec 2009 17.06% 12.03%
DSP Tax Saver Fund Jan 2007 13.41% 10.89%
*Data as on July 12, 2019

These are two of the best performing ELSS funds as on July 12, 2019. They have shown a solid performance over the years as per the reviews. But this does not mean the ITI Long Term Equity Fund would perform the same way as well.

Before we get into the details and review of the ITI Long Term Equity Fund, we shall get to know the ITI Mutual Fund.

A Quick Review of ITI Mutual Fund

ITI Mutual Fund is one of the most recent AMCs coming into the mutual fund industry.

Online Mutual Fund

A brief visit to the company’s website shows it has got experienced personnel managing it with Mr George Heber Joseph as the CEO.

ITI Mutual Fund aims to offer opportunities to investors who look to create long term wealth. They have shown interest to achieve AUM of ₹10,000 crores in a decade of time and become one of the top players.

At present ITI Mutual Fund has three Mutual Fund Schemes, with the ITI Long Term Equity Fund as the latest inclusion.

What’s in ITI Long Term Equity Fund?

The ITI Long Term Equity Fund has the objective to provide long term capital appreciation. And they are planning to achieve this by investing predominantly in equity and equity-related securities.

The NFO of ITI Long Term Equity Fund offers units at a price of ₹10/unit. It is basic and common among all the NFOs.

i) Minimum Application Amount: Review

However, being new to the market, ITI Mutual Fund has an interesting feature. The minimum application amount of ITI Long Term Equity Fund NFO is only ₹500/- and in multiples of 500/- thereafter, which is relatively less.

But should it matter? Or does it make any difference for an investor? For investors looking for long term benefits, this cannot be considered a benefit, since the minimum application amount of other ELSS schemes are not very high in itself for investors to avoid.

ii) Asset Allocation

Asset allocation ratio of a scheme will be a key factor in determining the potential and performance of any mutual fund scheme. The ITI Long Term Equity Fund will have mixed assets of equity and equity-related securities and, short term debt and money market instruments.

Instrument % Allocation (Min-Max) Risk Level
Equities and Equity Related Securities 80%-100% High
Short Term Debt and Money Market Instruments 0%-20% Low-Medium

ITI Mutual Fund says it will be investing the ITI Long Term Equity Fund predominantly in equity and equity-related securities. However, “predominant” could only be an understatement.

As per their asset allocation, at least 80% of the ELSS fund will be invested in high-risk equity and equity-related securities at any given time. Considering this is ELSS fund—3 years lock-in of capital— this is a very aggressive approach. This approach will, in turn, reflect on the risks involved with the fund, keeping the risks always high.

Who are the Fund Managers?

The ITI Long Term Equity Fund will be co-managed by the two fund managers,

  • Mr George Heber Joseph
  • Mr Pradeep Gokhale

The duo is already managing the ITI Multi-Cap Fund together which was launched in April 2019. Apart from this, Mr George Heber Joseph is managing the ITI Liquid Fund, launched in April 2019.

Review of Existing ITI Mutual Fund’s Schemes

Leaving the ITI Long Term Equity Fund, ITI Mutual Fund has only two other funds and they are managed by the same fund managers as this.

Fund Name AUM Return Since Launch
ITI Liquid Fund 28 Crores 1.33%
ITI Multi-Cap Fund 24 Crores 2.41%
*Data as on June 30, 2019

It has been only less than 3 months for the ITI Mutual Funds. These funds are still in the building phase to find their position in the market. With just 2 months of progress, there is not much data to review a scheme. One can only say they are doing well, although it would still be a premature statement to say anything definitively.

Review of Potential Risks in ITI Long Term Equity

The ITI Long Term Equity Fund will have the standard investment risks as any other mutual fund scheme. These involve trading volumes, settlement risk, liquidity risk, default risk including possible loss of principal.

Some of the scheme-specific risks are:

    Market risk, that arises due to vulnerability to price fluctuations which will affect the returns on the scheme.

    Liquidity risk, that arises due to inefficient Asset Liability Management.

    Concentration risk, that arises due to exposure to only a few securities.

    Derivative risk, that arises due to investing in derivatives.

    Credit risk, associated with the repayment of investment.

    Performance risk, that arises due to the change in factors that affect the market.

Should You Invest in ITI Long Term Equity Fund?

Should you invest in ITI long term equity fund

If you have the time to wait for it to perform and show results, you may wait and watch. Otherwise, it’s a No—Do not invest.

The ITI Mutual Fund is a new kid on the block, there is not enough data to even take a calculated risk.

The ITI Long Term Equity Fund comes with a 3 years lock-in period; a mutual fund scheme with no underlying portfolio records can prove to be too costly. If you are all about tax saving and long term wealth creation, you can always go for the existing and performing ELSS funds.

We have seen two of the best ELSS funds in this review of ITI Long Term Equity Fund. Or any other ELSS fund with a good track record will be a better choice than taking blind risks such as investing in this.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
