Hello friends,
I got a post from Reliance MF some days ago which had my account statements of Reliance MF I hold and also mentioning about their new plan called "Fixed Maturity Plan" (FMP). As you all know that Fixed Deposits are one of the safest way of investment. But its drawback is that the rate of return is very very low. Most FD's offer only up to 8.25%, for about 1-3 years of lock-in period. Also the returns are taxable ( 33.99% ) depending on the level of your income. Another safe investment is PPF (Public Provident Fund). But PPF has lock-in period of 15 years ( Note:you can withdraw part of your contribution only after completion of 6 years) - so its just toooooo long. ( I personally treat PPF not for our generation - but for next generation.) Also there is another option of RBI Savings Bond, but there NRI's cannot invest and premature encashment is not allowed. Reliance wants to provide a blend in this type of reliable investment adding flavours of attractive returns, choice of Maturity periods, and tax efficient returns. They have come up with FMP.
FMP offers various maturity period options - monthly / quarterly / half yearly / yearly and more than one year. You can invest depending upon your requirement of cash flows on maturity. FMP offer minimal risk as compared to normal open-ended debt funds. These open-ended debt funds are associated with 3 kinds of risks : interest rate, credit and liquidity risk. Last but not the least feature of FMP is that it provides tax-benefit. For FD's tax rate is 33.99%, but for FMP's its 22.66% and also indexation benefits are available. If we assume 10% rate of interest/year and compare FD and FMP then calculations tell that assuming 5% indexation rate, and considering tax deductions, we actually get 6.61% for FD and 9.86% for FMP. More information can be found on www.reliancemutual.com
I personally think its a good choice of investment rather than normal FD's of nationalised banks. Only one concern is that, even FMP have very very low risk, they still are venerable to market ups and downs and FMP don't offer guaranteed returns, but it is likely to yield better than FD's. You can also get benefit of double-indexation, where you can get indexation benefit of 2nd year by remaining invested just for some time more than 1 year. So you get benefit if total 2 years, instead of 1 year. Your comments are awaited.
