A value fund with an international flavour<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emerging markets, including India, do not offer too many \u2018value\u2019 or less expensive stocks, given their growth focus. If you wish to hold a portfolio of value stocks, mostly in India and in pockets of other growth economies, then Templeton India Equity Income is a good bet.<\/p>\n

With about 30-35 per cent exposure to international stocks, this fund delivered 11.5 per cent annually in the last three years, comfortably beating its benchmark BSE 200\u2019s return of 5.1 per cent.\u00a0 The fund also finds a place in the top quartile of three and five-year performance chart of diversified equity funds. This performance is notable, as most funds with international exposure have struggled to beat domestic diversified funds over the long term.<\/p>\n

Suitability<\/strong>
\nThe fund is suitable for investors who want to take limited exposure to international markets without losing capital gains tax benefits. Templeton India Equity Income<\/a> will hold only upto a third of its assets in international stocks. Hence, with at least 65 per cent holding in Indian equities, it will qualify for capital gains tax benefits available to equity funds.<\/p>\n

As the fund holds a number of dividend yield stocks as part of its value approach, it also regularly distributes dividends. Since, its inception the fund has, without fail, paid out dividends once or twice a year. You can capitalise on this by either opting for dividend payout (if you need some income) or go for dividend reinvestment.<\/p>\n

It is noteworthy that funds with international exposure are impacted by currency movements. For instance, the rupee\u2019s depreciation against the dollar, last year, improved gains made by international funds. While Templeton India Equity Income\u2019s<\/a> exposure to international stocks is limited, still an element of volatility from currency does exist. Hence, you will do well to sweep profits occasionally through the dividend payout\/reinvestment options.<\/p>\n

For the same reason, let this fund not be your core holding. Use it as a diversifier and limit exposure to the fund.<\/p>\n

Performance<\/strong>
\nWhile Templeton India Equity Income<\/a> is not strictly comparable with domestic equity funds, we compared it with local dividend yield funds to see how it fared. Over a three- period, the fund lagged Birla Sun Life Dividend Yield Plus by less than a percentage point and marginally outperformed UTI Dividend Yield. The fund\u2019s return since inception in 2006, at about 13 per cent, is next only to UTI Dividend Yield. It has either kept pace with, or outperformed other dividend yield funds since its inception.<\/p>\n

At 16 per cent, the fund\u2019s one-year return has beat top peers by 10 percentage points, given the sound rally in other foreign markets.<\/p>\n

Portfolio<\/strong>
\nTempleton India Equity Income<\/a> boasts of an offbeat portfolio with stocks from semiconductor industries to transportation \u2013 sectors that do not find much place in the Indian listed universe. Semiconductor stocks such as United Microelectronics Corporation (Taiwan) as well as shipping plays such as Cosco Pacific are part of the fund\u2019s portfolio. True to its value style, the fund has typical high dividend yield sectors such as finance, oil and chemicals. Even in the dividend yielding FMCG space, it holds less expensive stocks from countries like Taiwan and Chile.<\/p>\n

As a value fund, Templeton India Equity Income<\/a> would have to scout outside India for value. India has on most occasions traded at a premium to many Asian, emerging nations. At one-year forward price earnings ratio of 14.9 times, India is a premium to Chinese\/Korean markets (10-11 times)
\nThe fund is managed by renowned fund manager Dr. J Mark Mobius and assisted by Chetan Sehgal and Vikas Chiranewal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
