[Investors Please Listen] Introducing Tata Smart Investment Plan -1

What is Tata Smart Investment Plan - 1? Tata Smart Investment Plan - 1 is a 36 months close ended hybrid scheme that gives you the advantage of investing in both debt and equity. To start with, the investment amount in the scheme will be invested in debt and over the subsequent 12 months (in Scheme A) and 24 months (in Scheme B) will be moved to equity in a systematic manner on a monthly basis. Thus this scheme provides the advantages of debt, equity and systematic investing to the investor.     How will the debt market scenario help the fund? While yields of debt instruments have softened in the recent past, there may still be some opportunity left for further softening. Hence, locking investments at these levels may prove beneficial. The interest rate scenario reflects a probable downward bias. Therefore, there is a probability of capital gains in the medium term.   How will the equity market scenario help the fund? Valuations in the short term remain attractive. Markets may rally in the medium term as the global economic conditions improve. Markets, however, are likely to remain volatile which augurs well with systematic investing. Performance of companies are expected to improve in the medium term. Global funds flow is picking up and is likely to remain healthy.   What are the other benefits of investing in Tata Smart Investment Plan-1? Generally Systematic Investment Plans involve writing a number of cheques / payment instructions, storage of multiple account statements, accounting / recording of multiple transactions, computation of tax liability in respect of each installment etc. All these may cause administrative inconvenience to the investors. In Tata Smart Investment Plan-1, an investor will be making a one time investment in the fund. This will help investors to reduce the administrative inconvenience.   How will you benefit from investing in Tata Smart Investment Plan - 1? You get the multiple advantage of investing in debt and equity at a time when the market conditions are favorable. You get the advantage of systematic investing which is suitable for a volatile market. One time investment without having to write multiple cheques.   What are the advantages of a systematic style of investing? Rupee cost averaging A disciplined style of investing provides the scheme the opportunity of buying into more units when markets are down and consequently lesser units when they are up. On the whole, this approach results in a lower average purchase price in a volatile market. This is called "Rupee Cost Averaging". However, in a one way upward movement of the market this strategy may not benefit the investor. But one needs to bear in mind that the current outlook does not point in the direction of a one way upward movement in the medium term. Power of Compounding Systematic investing has a compounding effect on your investments. The amount invested does not remain idle for it generates income. The income thus accrued too gets invested for growth. In this manner the initial investment is subjected to a multiplier effect known as compounding.   Who is it suitable for? This fund is suitable for any investor with moderate risk appetite and with the ability to invest his money for a period of three years.   Key Highlights Tata Smart Investment Plan - 1 is a 36 months close-ended hybrid scheme.
