What are dividend yield funds?

A thread 🧵👇

Bonus: Comments on HDFC Dividend Yield Fund (NFO)

 1/ NFO: New Fund Offer is like an IPO of Mutual Fund Scheme. The scheme issues units to its subscribers at Face Value which is usually Rs. 10 per unit.
2/ The dividend yield is a financial metric that shows the amount paid by a company to its shareholders as a percentage of its stock price. Eg: A dividend of Rs. 10 on a stock of Rs. 200 would indicate a dividend yield of 5%.
3/ A dividend yield fund is a scheme that invests predominantly in companies having a track record of high dividend payouts along with occasional buybacks in order to return money to its shareholders.
4/ The fund bets on companies with stable cash flows along with predictable earnings. These are mature companies growing at a normal pace with lesser opportunities to reinvest their profits at a higher rate of return and hence chose to pay hefty dividends or consider buybacks.
5/ Companies in this category are mostly large-cap IT, FMCG, Energy, Utilities, etc. The focus of the scheme is to ensure the stability of returns over high growth on capital.

an important advantage of investing in such funds for large investors is tax arbitrage.
6/ Dividend in the hands of investors is taxed at the slab rates. This could be a cause of concern for large investors in high tax bracket. However, when they invest in mutual funds, there is no tax on dividends to the Mutual Fund house
7/ and the tax is incurred by investors only when they sell units in profit. These gains are taxed at 10% in the case of LTCG (holding period over 1 year) and 15% in the case of STCG (holding period of 1 year or less). This provides additional benefit on post-tax basis.
8/ The benchmark for such schemes is NIFTY Dividend Opportunities 50 Index. You can check the latest constituents here: https://t.co/AkenglKiFt
9/ Following is the weightage of stocks in NIFTY Dividend Opportunities 50 Index as of 30th October 2020:
10/ HDFC Dividend Yield Fund is a New Fund Offer in this particular category. I have tried to summarize the details put forth by various communications received from AMC with respect to these schemes:

- Scheme will invest a minimum of 65% of corpus in high dividend yield stocks.
11/

- Preference will be given to stocks with a consistent history of paying dividends.

- Stock having higher DY than the Nifty 50 index will be preferred. (Most PSU utility and energy companies qualify).

- Investing in low capital intensive business (Most IT companies).
12/

- Ability to increase dividend payouts.

- Dividend yield at 1x - 2x of 10-year G-sec yield.

- It will be sector and market cap agnostic.
13/

My take on this NFO:

- Most of the stocks in portfolio will be PSU utility & energy cos that have not performed well in terms of share price growth. In some cases, The dividend yield was fully offset by the decline in share price thereby yielding zero or negative returns.
14/

- Valuation could be a cause of concern while investing in FMCG companies even when they have stable dividend payouts. Time correction in such companies may result in below-par returns for the scheme.
15/

- IT companies have displayed stability in terms of dividends along with decent stock price growth and are trading at reasonable valuations. A higher weightage to these companies may result in good performance of the scheme.
16/

- Median expense ratio of this category of funds is around 1.5%. This coupled with lower share price growth stocks could lead to below-par returns.
17/

- The fund should have lower beta and volatility as compared to other broader indices like Nifty 50 due to its constituents. The fund manager can further reduce the volatility by higher allocation to low beta stocks. (We will have to wait and watch).
18/

- The dividend tax arbitrage won't make much sense in the case of investors in lower tax slabs.
19/

Conclusion: Investors looking for low volatility and stable returns can take a look at this fund. However, looking at past performance of this category, it can be seen that these funds have underperformed the funds in other equity-oriented categories (Eg: Multi cap).

End.

1/n: In the new decade, the fin-services sector will look beyond the current open banking ‘phase’ and towards a future of fintech enabled marketplaces and complete financial automation, where the traditional banking model is turned on its head and requires a dramatic rethink,

2/n: emphasizing:
1) Experience over Products;
2) Data over Assets;
3) Partnering over the build or buy;
4) Shared access over ownership.

3/n: FinTechs are now increasingly global, and threatening traditional banks by ushering in product-stack changes- from ‘un-bundling to re-bundling’, from ‘mono-line to multi-line’.

4/n: Incumbent Banks will recognize the value of the financial-cloud and speed up their digital transformation efforts to meet customer expectations derived from fintechs with new operating and business models.

5/n: In the medium term, transactional banking (i.e. manufacture white-label versions of specific products and services) will gain traction. Distributed Ledger, API banking, and AI will become critical building blocks for both banks and financial services providers —

So, this is going to be a longish thread on the NIFTY.

In my last analysis, had mentioned that there wasn't enough data to analyze the NIFTY yet. In 2 weeks we now have more data to analyze.

Weekly Charts first:
1. The NIFTY rebounded in March - Spril from > -3SD & has now tagged and exceeded the +2SD for Six Consecutive weeks.

2. There have been 12 prior instances since 1998 when it has tagged or exceeded the +2SD for >= 5 weeks.

3. 11 prior instances. This is the 12th. 4 streaks ended @ 5 weeks, 3 streaks at 6 weeks, 2 streaks at 7 weeks, 1 at 8 weeks and the last one @ 12 weeks.

We have already done 6 cons. weeks this rally. That means good chance we stop tagging the +2SD in the next couple of weeks.

4. There is an outside chance - say 10% - we do a blowout, but we'll come back to that.

5. What happens when the NIFTY stops tagging the +2SD? Either a mild consolidation to + 1 SD [currently @1263 and rising] or a pretty decent correction. Mild Correction happened 4/11 times.

6. The pretty decent correction happened to either of
-2SD 5/11 times [currently @ 10500] Or to
- 20WSMA 2/11 times [ currently @ 11800]

7. Why am I not sure of the timing? RSI can go up another 2 - 3 points. Weekly RSI tends to reverse from 76 - 77 or higher levels. BUT

1) Single most important principle in the field of interpersonal relations is Empathic Communication, which means "Seek first to understand, then to be understood"

#Leadership #Communication #empathy

2) There are four forms of communication: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening. We spend most of our waking hours communicating. The ability to do it well is absolutely critical for human effectiveness

3) We spend years learning how to read, write and speak but how about listening? What education or training have we had that enables us to listen so that we can really deeply understand another human being.

4)  We typically seek first to be understood. Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. They are either speaking or preparing to speak.

5) We are usually listening at 4 levels:
Ignoring - not listening at all
Pretending - "Yeah. Uh-huh. Right"
Selective Listening - hearing only selective parts
Attentive listening - paying attention and focusing on words
But we should practice the 5th level : Empathic Listening

What are the different ways in which banks can reduce and manage different types of risk?
@GARP_Risk @actuarynews @SOActuaries @RiskDotNet

By understanding what risk is in terms of its purported definition?
If you get the definition wrong, you won't understand the technical expression in either theory or practice.
So, get that right first!

#Risk is a two-sided phenomenon, like a coin!

2. The one side of the coin presents an Opportunity!
2.The another side of the coin presents a Threat!

On which side would you like to do betting?

The same holds true for a financial institution such as a bank.

The interpretation of #risk depends on your insights, your hunch, your gut feelings, your emotions, and last but the not least, your cognitive biases.

To understand Risk Management as a subject, you need to go deeper into the understating of the Psychology of Risk Perception.

This is my son, Sam. He’s 5. And today he learned how shitty and harmful #ToxicMasculinity is. My rage meter is spiking right now so excuse me if this is a little raw but there are some things I want to say about BS #gender norms (a thread)


Sam is my middle child & he’s a terror. A “boy’s boy” as so many (not me) would say. He’s rough and tumble, he’s loud, he’s always dirty, loves trucks, plays sports and knee drops me from the couch. But he also loves a lot of “girl” things.

Sam has a collection of purses because he likes to carry things around. And he also loves to have his nails painted bright colors because he thinks they “look beautiful.” And he’s right – they are beautiful…


So he proudly wore his red nail polish to kindergarten this morning because Sam has absolutely no concept of nail polish only being for girls or reason to think anyone would possibly have a problem with beautiful nails.


But his classmates did have a problem. A big one. Sam was ridiculed for being a boy with nail polish. They called him names and told him to take it off. This lasted the entire day.

Today I want to prove that Mr Pool smile faces mean XRP and price increase. In Ripple_Crippler, previous to Mr Pool existence, smile faces were frequent. They were very similar to the ones Mr Pool posts. The eyes also were usually a couple of "x", in fact, XRP logo. 3/*


The smile XRP-eyed face also appears related to the Moon. XRP going to the Moon. 4/*

According to psychologists, there are four types of intelligence:

- Intelligence Quotient (IQ)
- Emotional Quotient (EQ)
- Social Quotient (SQ)
- Adversity Quotient (AQ)

1. IQ is the measure of one's ability to comprehend, solve maths; memorize things & recall subject matters.

2. EQ is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine, and considerate.

3. SQ is the measure of one's ability to build a network of friends & maintain it over a long period of time.

4. AQ is the measure of your ability to go through a rough patch in life and come out without losing your mind. It is a new paradigm and can be used to determine who will give up in face of troubles and may abandon their families.

Now to the very interesting & analytical part👇

People that have higher EQ & SQ tend to go further in life than those with high IQ but low EQ &SQ.

Most schools capitalize on improving IQ level while EQ & SQ are played down.

A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ & SQ even though he has an average IQ.

Your EQ represents your character; your SQ represents your charisma. Give in to habits that will improve these three Qs but more especially your EQ and SQ.

EQ and SQ make one manage better than the other.

Try not only to have a higher IQ but also to have higher EQ and SQ.
