HDFC Asset Management puts restrictions on lumpsum and systematic transactions for HDFC defence fund
HDFC Asset Management said that referring to the addendum dated June 6, 2023, on discontinuation of lumpsum subscriptions and restrictions on Systematic Transactions in HDFC Defence Fund. Regarding the same, the following has been decided in the Scheme with effect from July 22, 2024, i.e. the effective date:
  1. New SIP Registrations: Requests for new Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) registrations in the HDFC Defence Fund will not be accepted from July 22, 2024.
  2. Lumpsum Investments and Switch-ins: Fresh lumpsum investments, including switch-ins, and new systematic transfer registrations into the HDFC Defence Fund will remain restricted.
  3. Existing SIPs: SIPs registered before July 22, 2024, will continue to be processed without any changes.
  4. Ongoing Systematic Transactions: All systematic transactions already registered will continue to be processed as usual.
There will be no restrictions on redemptions, switch-outs, or Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) outs from the HDFC Defence Fund. All other terms and conditions outlined in the Scheme Information Document (SID) and Key Information Memorandum (KIM) of the HDFC Defence Fund remain unchanged. This addendum, dated July 8, 2024, is now an integral part of the Scheme Information Document and Key Information Memorandum for the HDFC Defence Fund. HDFC Mutual Fund, which successfully raised ₹1,000 crores through a new fund offer (NFO) targeting defence-related investments, has ceased accepting lumpsum investments in the HDFC Defence Fund since June 12, 2023. The HDFC Defence Fund stands out as the sole actively managed mutual fund in India focused on the defence sector. The fund seeks to leverage opportunities in this area, which has garnered significant interest from investors. With the Indian government prioritising the modernisation of its defence forces and promoting self-reliance, the sector is poised for long-term growth. Additionally, increased global geopolitical tensions have led many countries to enhance their defence capabilities, further supporting this trend. HDFC Defence Fund is an equity thematic fund that started on June 5, 2023. It is benchmarked against the NIFTY 50 TRI and has a total expense ratio (TER) of 1.95% as of May 31, 2024. The fund is open-ended, meaning it allows for ongoing investments and redemptions. The minimum investment and top-up amounts are both ₹100. As of May 31, 2024, the fund's total assets amount to ₹3,232.88 crore. There is an exit load of 1% if the investment is redeemed within one year.

PhonePe Group posts ₹197 crore profit for FY24
Walmart-backed PhonePe Group on Monday reported a consolidated net profit, excluding ESOP costs, of ₹197 crore for fiscal year 2023-24. It had incurred a loss of ₹738 crore in the previous fiscal, according to a company statement. Revenue in FY24 was ₹5,064 crore, 73.7% higher than ₹2,914 crore in FY23. The group's payment business reported a standalone net profit (excluding ESOP costs) of ₹710 crore in FY24, against a loss of ₹194 crore in the preceding fiscal. The group has expanded into financial services (insurance, lending, wealth) as well as new consumer tech businesses (pincode - hyperlocal e-commerce and Indus App Store). The company has not provided the results of these verticals. PhonePe has been able to achieve growth and diversification of revenue through a combination of market leadership, platform reliability and cross-selling a diverse product portfolio, the statement said. This achievement is a result of PhonePe’s focus on driving operating leverage through automation and cost efficiencies, it added. "Our financial strategy is anchored on three key pillars: (1) predictable and sustainable growth in revenue, (2) diversification of revenue streams, and (3) continuing improvements to the bottom line," PhonePe CFO Adarsh Nahata said. These pillars have guided the firm's strategic decisions and enabled it to scale rapidly and a focus on disciplined financial management will help it continue in the progression towards profitability of the payments business, he added. Sameer Nigam, Founder and CEO said the optimisation of investments and capital allocation, in conjunction with building a diversified revenue model, and remaining customer-focused, will provide a solid foundation for sustained future success.

Summary

Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has amended mutual fund rules, whereby equity-oriented ETFs and index funds can now invest in the listed securities of group companies of the sponsor beyond 25% of the net assets.
SEBI permits passive funds to invest in listed securities of sponsor's group companies beyond 25 pc
Markets regulator Sebi has streamlined norms for passive funds – index funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) – on exposure to securities of group companies of the sponsor to facilitate a level playing field for mutual funds. In a notification on Tuesday, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has amended mutual fund rules, whereby equity-oriented ETFs and index funds can now invest in the listed securities of group companies of the sponsor beyond 25% of the net assets. Earlier, mutual fund schemes were not allowed to invest more than 25% of their net asset value (NAV) in group companies of the sponsor. This has restricted passive funds from effectively replicating the underlying index, in cases where group companies of sponsors comprise more than 25% of the index. This has put such asset management companies (AMCs) at a relative disadvantage compared to other AMCs who may not have a sponsor group company comprising over 25% in the underlying index. To streamline the norm and create a level playing field for all AMCs, Sebi's board in April approved the amendment to mutual fund rules to allow equity passive schemes to take exposure up to the weightage of the constituents in the underlying index. This exposure would, however, be subject to an overall cap of 35% investment in the group companies of the sponsor, Sebi had stated.

The launch of the Kotak Nifty Midcap 50 Index Fund aligns with our commitment to offering active and passive products that cater to different risk appetites and investment horizons.

However, it is important to be cognizant of proper asset allocation of your investments before investing.” Devender Singhal, Executive Vice President & Fund Manager, Kotak Mahindra AMC was of the view that, “The Kotak Nifty Midcap 50 Index Fund is an addition to our passive product line-up, catering to investors’ interest in India’s Midcap space. Midcaps play a crucial role in key sectors of our economy, from Capital Goods and finance to healthcare and information technology. While individual Midcap stocks may exhibit varying performance, this index-based approach allows investors to potentially benefit from the overall growth and innovation potential of the mid-sized companies.”
