    Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions. A fall in interest rate benefits long-term debt oriented funds. Over the last one year, yields on the benchmark 10-year government security have fallen nearly 100 bps from 8.82% to 7.85%. But a chunk of that fall -- of 66 bps happened in the last 3 months. In the last one year, the average maturity of gilt-category holdings rose from 12.09 years to 16.96 years, with returns an impressive 16.40%, marginally lower than the benchmark CRISIL Gilt Index's 16.52%.

    Across debt categories, funds with longer maturity fared better than peers. For instance, the CRISILAMFI Gilt Fund Performance Index and CRISILAMFI Income Fund Performance Index delivered 16.40% and 13.79%, respectively, compared with CRISILAMFI Short Term Debt Fund Performance Index's 10.82% and CRISILAMFI Ultra Short Fund Performance Index's 9.14%.

    Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund, UTI Mutual Fund, Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund, ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund and L&T Mutual Fund led the list of top rankers for the quarter with each having five funds under CRISIL Fund Rank 1, followed by Tata Mutual Fund with four. The quarterly ranking spans 17 categories across equity, debt and hybrid funds.

    The latest CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking covers close to 88% of the average assets under management of open-ended schemes at the end of December 2014. Unlike most other ranking models, which are based purely on returns or net asset

    value (NAV), CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking uses a combination of NAV and portfolio-based attributes for evaluation. This provides a single-point analysis of mutual funds, taking into consideration key parameters such as risk-adjusted returns, asset concentration, liquidity, asset quality and size. The rankings also include categories that focus specifically on long-term consistency in performance. The ranks are assigned on a scale of 1 to 5, with CRISIL Fund Rank 1 indicating 'very good performance'. In any peer group, the top 10 percentile of funds are ranked as CRISIL Fund Rank 1 and the next 20 percentile as CRISIL Fund Rank 2.

    Industry Highlights

    The domestic mutual fund industry maintained the positive momentum in the last quarter of 2014. Average assets under management (AUM) rose to a record high and exceeded the Rs 11 trillion mark. Average AUM rose 4.39% or by Rs 465.41 bn to Rs 11.06 trillion (excluding fund of funds) in the quarter ended December 2014 as per the data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI). The industry's average assets increased 26.21% or by Rs 2.30 trillion in 2014 the fastest calendar year growth since the industry started declaring quarterly average assets in September 2010. Growth in the latest quarter was mainly driven by rise in equity funds' assets; the industry's total gain would have been higher but for the decline in AUM of liquid funds, FMPs and gold exchange traded funds (ETFs).

    Equity funds, which were the toast of the industry the entire year, were the primary driver of industry assets in the latest quarter. The category's average AUM gained 15.74% or Rs 457.25 bn to a record high of Rs 3.36 trillion. For the year, the category gained 71.99% or Rs 1.41 trillion, the largest calendar year gain since the industry started declaring average assets (since September 2010). Growth was led by robust inflows and mark to market (MTM) gains. The category registered inflows of Rs 589.39 bn in 2014 compared with outflows of Rs 117.92 bn in 2013. The domestic equity market as represented by the CNX Nifty gained 31.39% in 2014 compared with 6.76% returns in 2013.

    Gilt funds delivered the highest returns among debt-oriented categories in the quarter ended December 31, 2014, according to CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking, gaining from the southern drift in interest rates.

    The category, represented by CRISILAMFI Gilt Fund Performance Index, delivered absolute returns of 7.70% for the quarter compared with CRISIL Gilt Index's 6.73% (Table 1). CRISIL Fund Rank 1s from the gilt category have dynamically managed duration, taking advantage of falling yields on the one hand, and increasing cash exposure when interest rates rise on the other. This strategy has limited their downside in the last three years.

    term debt funds rose for the third consecutive quarter, up 11.48% or by Rs 99.08 bn to Rs 962.10 bn, while ultra short-term debt funds rose for the fourth consecutive quarter, up 7.48% or by Rs 79.70 bn to Rs 1.15 trillion. In 2014, short-term debt funds and ultra short-term debt funds witnessed 32% and 42% rise in assets respectively.

    Liquid funds were the biggest drag on industry assets, with the category falling 5.24% or by Rs 149.94 bn to Rs 2.71 trillion. The category witnessed 17% rise in assets in 2014.

    Assets of fixed maturity plans (FMPs) fell for the second consecutive quarter, down 4.29% or by Rs 70.85 bn to Rs 1.58 trillion. The category was adversely impacted by the change in taxation announced in the last year's Union Budget. Long-term capital gains tax on debt-oriented mutual funds was increased from 10% to 20% and the definition of 'long term' for debt mutual funds was changed to 36 months from 12 months effective from the date of the presentation of the budget (July 10, 2014).

    HDFC Mutual Fund's average AUM retained its top position across fund houses in the December quarter with respect to total assets managed. The fund's average AUM was up by Rs 89.87 bn or 6.35% to Rs 1.50 trillion, the first AMC in the country

    to cross that mark. ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund maintained the second position at Rs 1.37 trillion, up 7.13% or by Rs 91.00 bn (the top performer in absolute rise in assets). Reliance Mutual Fund was ranked third at Rs 1.26 trillion; its average assets rose Rs 40.01 bn or by 3.28%.

    As per data from Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), mutual funds bought equities worth Rs 147 bn during the three months ended December 2014 compared with Rs 162 bn of buying in the previous quarter. On the debt front, mutual funds net bought Rs 1.33 trillion in the quarter ended December compared with Rs 1.17 trillion in the previous quarter.

    Major regulations and developments in the quarter

    SEBI said a single consolidated view of all investments made by a person in mutual funds and other securities held in demat form would be provided from March 2015. It issued a notification

    stating that smaller mutual fund players may be allowed to launch up to two new schemes in a year if the regulator is satisfied that the AMC is taking steps to meet the net worth requirement within specified timelines. The regulator has also allowed mutual fund distributors to use the stock exchange platform for non-demat transactions as well for sale or redemption of these financial products. It is working on a proposal to compensate fund houses on the basis of the performance of schemes over a period of time. AMFI said retail participation in mutual funds from beyond the top 15 cities in the country has increased remarkably in the past 18 months due to joint efforts made by the fund houses and SEBI.

    The government received bids from seven asset management companies (AMCs) to manage the ETF it plans to float for disinvesting a part of its holdings under the Specified Undertakings of Unit Trust of India (SUUTI). Central Board of Direct Taxes notified Reliance Retirement Fund, set up by Reliance MF, as a pension fund for the purpose of Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. Birla Sun Life AMC completed the acquisition of ING MF schemes. Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) has acquired a 50% stake in Pramerica Asset Managers for an undisclosed amount. Principal Pnb Asset Management Company raised its net worth to Rs 0.77 bn.

    Chart 1 Mutual Fund Net Flows and AUM Trend

    After remaining weak for most of 2014, average assets of long duration debt funds viz., long term debt funds and gilt funds showed gains in the final quarter. Long-term debt funds' average AUM gained 6.42% or Rs 42.24 bn to Rs 700.63 bn while gilt funds' assets rose 22.86% or by Rs 12.99 bn (first rise in the past six quarters) to Rs 69.84 bn as the categories attracted inflows amidst growing expectation of easing interest rates by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 2015. While the central bank kept interest rates unchanged in the last quarter of 2014, in a surprise move on January 15, 2015, it cut its key repo rate by 25 bps to 7.75%. Consequently, the reverse repo rate under the LAF was adjusted to 6.75%, and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate and the bank rate were adjusted to 8.75%. For the calendar year, long-term debt and gilt funds' assets declined 35% and 9% respectively.

    Short-term debt funds and ultra short-term debt funds continued to sustain gains in the last quarter of 2014. Short-

    and Japan, and Russia's deteriorating economic conditions amid fears of a global oil supply rut. The Centre's inability to pass key bills pertaining to insurance and mining during the winter session of the Parliament also affected market sentiments. The government, however, passed some of these bills afterwards through an ordinance.

    NSE sectoral indices posted mixed performance in the quarter. CNX Bank Index (up 21.73%) was the topmost gainer, driven by upbeat earnings announcements from some banks, hopes of an interest rate cut by the RBI and news that the government is planning to divest its stake in some public lenders. CNX Auto index gained nearly 5% primarily buoyed by optimism of strong sales on the occasions of Dhanteras and Diwali, and hopes that fuel price cuts will boost demand for vehicles. CNX Metal index was the biggest loser down 7.13%, weighed down by disappointing Chinese manufacturing data. CNX Energy lost nearly 7% as sentiment for the sector was dented by the fall in global crude oil prices.

    Chart 2 Mutual Fund Daily Investments & Nifty Movement

    Equity market overview

    Indian equities represented by the CNX Nifty ended the quarter in positive territory, advancing 4% on the back of a host of domestic and overseas developments. Support for the market came in the form of various reforms introduced by the government including deregulation of diesel prices, ordinance to resolve coal sector issues arising from the Supreme Court's decision to scrap 214 coal blocks, austerity measures to trim fiscal deficit, easing of FDI norms in construction and real estate, and a massive financial inclusion scheme - Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna (PMJDY). Dovish stance by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and hints by the RBI of cutting interest rates early in 2015 also augured well for the market. Steady inflows of Rs 143 bn by FIIs during the quarter (except December) compared with Rs 235 bn in the September quarter also brought in gains.

    Further gains were, however, restrained following some downbeat developments such as the rupee's weakness against the US dollar, concerns about the Eurozone, China

    CRISIL MutualFundRanking

    operations (OMO) bond sales announced by the central bank triggered fears of additional supply in the market and halted the rally in prices. Sentiment was further dented by intermittent profit sales. News that the government may fall short of its direct tax collection target for the current financial year also weighed on gilts.

    Among major developments, the Ministry of Finance said the government has no plan, as of now, to raise the open category investment cap for FIIs in government bonds even though the existing limit has been nearly exhausted. The RBI is working towards allowing settlement of government bonds in international systems like the Euroclear. The central bank said banks can shift their excess bond holdings to trading portfolios from the held-to-maturity (HTM) basket thrice a year from 2015 to deepen the government securities market. The RBI has reduced the quantum of securities that can be classified as held-to-maturity for standalone primary dealers to 100% of their audited net owned funds as at the end of the preceding financial year from 200% before.

    of the US Fed's December policy statement prompted additional gilt purchases.

    Further gains were, however, restricted by the rupee's fall against the US dollar, trimming of positions ahead of key economic data from the US, and the government's move to hike excise duty on petrol and diesel. Periodic open market

    Debt market overview

    Indian inter-bank call money rates hovered broadly in the range of 7.00-9.00% in the quarter ended December. The rates came under pressure due to banks' demand for funds to make indirect tax payments, borrowings to meet quarter-end reserve requirements and payments for gilts purchased during auctions. Demand for funds was also strong due to advance tax payments. Outflows towards payment for gilt and state

    development bonds purchased in the auction put liquidity under stress, thereby pushing up the rates. Further rise in the call rates was, however, restricted due to inflows from government spending and the RBI's regular cash injections through term repo auctions.

    Indian government bond prices (gilts) rose sharply in the quarter ended December, with the yield of the benchmark 8.40% 2024 paper ending at 7.86% on December 31 as against 8.51% on September 30. Gilts were boosted due to a sharp fall in global crude oil prices to multi-year lows and moderation in domestic inflation data, which led to expectations of interest rate cut by the central bank. Sentiments strengthened further after the RBI, in its latest review, said that a change in the monetary policy stance is likely in early 2015, including outside the policy review cycle if the trend of declining inflation continues and if fiscal developments are encouraging.

  • thematic infrastructure) and consistent performers - equity as

    well as short term debt categories (liquid, ultra short-term debt

    and short term income and credit opportunities funds). SRS is

    used for the rest of the categories. Mean return is the average of

    daily returns based on the scheme's NAV for the period under

    analysis and volatility is the standard deviation of these returns.

    While the period for analysis is three years for equity funds, it is

    one year for liquid, ultra short-term debt, credit opportunities and

    short term income funds. The period of analysis is broken into

    four periods (latest 36, 27, 18 and 9 months for equity categories

    and latest 12, 9, 6 and 3 months for short term categories). Each

    period is assigned a progressive weight starting from the longest

    period as follows: 32.5%, 27.5%, 22.5% and 17.5% respectively.

    In case of consistent performers - equity, mean return and

    volatility are calculated for five years; each one-year period is

    weighted progressively with the most recent period having the

    highest weight.

    Downside Risk Probability (DRP)

    DRP is considered for liquid and ultra short-term debt categories.

    DRP measures the probability of the investment earning lower

    returns compared with short tenor risk-free securities. It is

    measured by assessing the number of times a scheme's return

    falls below the risk-free return during the period of analysis. The

    risk-free return is taken as 91-day T-Bill auction yield revised on a

    weekly basis. The period of analysis is broken into four periods,

    the latest 12, 9, 6 and 3 months. Progressive weights are applied

    for each period.

    Portfolio Concentration Analysis

    Concentration measures the risk arising out of improper

    diversification. For equity securities, diversity score is used as the

    parameter to measure industry and company concentration. In

    case of debt schemes, industry concentration is analysed for any

    exposure to sensitive sectors which are arrived at based on

    CRISIL's assessment of the prospects for various sectors, and

    the company concentration is analysed at an individual issuer

    specific limit of 10%.

    Liquidity Analysis

    It measures the ease with which a portfolio can be liquidated. The

    lower the score, the better it is.

    In case of equities, it measures the number of days to liquidate

    the portfolio. Liquidity is calculated by taking the average portfolio

    liquidity score of the past three months.

    Annexure I - CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking methodology

    CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking is a relative ranking of mutual

    fund schemes within a peer group. The basic criteria for

    inclusion in the ranking universe are three-year NAV history

    (one-year for liquid, ultra short-term debt, short term income,

    credit opportunities and index funds; and five years for

    consistent performers), assets under management (AUM) in

    excess of category cut-off limits and complete portfolio 1disclosure. Only open ended schemes are considered. The

    ranking is based on the following parameters:

    Category wise average AUM cutoffs:

    AUM, on a quarterly average basis for the quarter for which the

    ranking is done, should be in excess of the cut-off limit as

    long term income, balanced, monthly income plan (aggressive)

    and long term gilt categories. The three-year period of

    evaluation is divided into four overlapping periods the latest

    36, 27, 18 and 9 months. Each period has a progressive weight

    starting from the longest period: 32.5%, 27.5%, 22.5% and

    17.5% respectively.

    In case of consistent performers (for balanced and debt

    categories), SRS is calculated for five years; each one-year

    period is weighted progressively with the most recent period

    having the highest weightage.

    Mean Return and Volatility

    Mean return and volatility are considered as separate

    parameters in case of equity funds (large cap, small & mid-cap,

    equity diversified, equity linked savings schemes or ELSS and

  • debt categories except liquid to capture the interest rate risk of

    the portfolio. The lower the value, the better it is.

    Asset Size

    It is considered for credit opportunities, ultra short-term debt

    and liquid categories to take into account the effect of large

    fund flows on the schemes' performance and ability of the

    schemes to manage such flows optimally. The higher the

    asset size, the better it is.

    Tracking Error

    This is used only for index funds. The tracking error is an

    estimation of the variability in an index fund's performance

    vis--vis the index it proposes to replicate. The lower the

    tracking error, the better it is.

    Historic CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking Performance

    Historic CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking performance is

    considered only for the consistent category. Quarterly mutual

    fund rankings during the five-year period of analysis are

    broken into five blocks of one-year each. Each block is

    progressively weighted with the most recent period having the

    highest weightage.

    Equity liquidity is computed as follows:

    Liquidity score of each stock = No. of shares held / Daily

    average trading volume of past six months

    Portfolio liquidity score = Weighted average liquidity score of

    the above

    Gilt liquidity is measured by analysing the number of days it will

    take to liquidate the portfolio based on turnover (volume) and

    number of securities in the portfolio, the number of days

    security has been traded and the number of trades over the

    latest three-month period for that security.

    Corporate debt liquidity is computed by classifying each

    security into three categories - liquid, semi liquid and illiquid -

    and then evaluating a scheme's exposure to each category.

    Asset Quality

    Asset quality measures the probability of default by the issuer of

    a debt security to honour the debt obligation on time.

    Modified Duration /Average Maturity

    Modified duration / average maturity is considered across all
