With a 3-year annualised return of 12.7 per cent, and a 5-year return of 10.8 per cent, the fund managed to beat its category average by 70-100 basis points.

It invests 85-90 per cent of its assets in debt and rest in equity and cash. It is typically compared with funds in the MIP (monthly income plan) category.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Birla-SL-MIP-II-Savings-5-G-?c=419\" target=\"_blank\">Birla Savings 5<\/a> is part of FundsIndia\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/select-funds\" target=\"_blank\">Select Funds<\/a> list. Some of you have asked us as to why this fund is part of the list when its returns (depending on the time-frame they are looking at) are often lower than some of the peers. Our answer has been that the fund delivers returns commensurate with the risk it has taken. And the risk it takes is far lower than most peers, given the fund\u2019s low exposure to equity. We will explain how this strategy panned out for the fund later but for now, suffice to know this fund is ideal for low-risk investors looking for FD-plus returns with a 3-year time frame.<\/p>\n<p>If you opt for this fund, go with the growth option. If you wish to generate income, start a systematic withdrawal plan after (preferably) three years, instead of depending on the dividend pay-out option; in order to be tax efficient.<\/p>\n<p><b>Performance<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Birla-SL-MIP-II-Savings-5-G-?c=419\" target=\"_blank\">Birla Savings 5<\/a> has a risk-adjusted return (measured by its Sharpe Ratio) that is among the best in its category, next to its sister fund <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Birla-SL-MIP-II-Wealth-25-G-?c=422\" target=\"_blank\">Birla Sun Life MIP Wealth 25<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-MIS-Adv-Plan-G-?c=3631\" target=\"_blank\">UTI MIS Advantage<\/a>, \u00a0when rolled daily for 1-year returns over the last three years.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2106-08-03-Returns.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9581\" alt=\"2106-08-03 - Returns\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2106-08-03-Returns.jpg\" width=\"393\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2106-08-03-Returns.jpg 393w, https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2106-08-03-Returns-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The most noteworthy performance point for this fund is its ability to contain downsides well, a job that this category of funds ought to do. Over the last 10 years, 1-year returns rolled daily suggests that the fund had negative returns (of -0.15 per cent) on just one occasion, on \u00a0January 4, 2010, \u00a0as a result of unfavourable gilt returns and of not having ridden the equity wave due to its low exposure. Except for this, the fund never slipped into the red for any 1-year time-frame, at any point in these 10 years. As opposed to this, peers such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Franklin-India-MIP-G-?c=1018\" target=\"_blank\">Franklin India MIP<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/HDFC-MIP-LTP-G-?c=1298\" target=\"_blank\">HDFC MIP LTP<\/a> had negative 1-year returns 4-5 per cent of the times.\u00a0 Peers fell in the range of 11-18 per cent when they went into the negative zone.<\/p>\n<p>Over 3-year time-frames too (in the last 10 years), the fund\u2019s performance has been good. With a rolling 3-year average return of 9.6 per cent annually, the fund bettered its sister fund <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Birla-SL-MIP-II-Wealth-25-G-?c=422\" target=\"_blank\">Wealth 25<\/a> (9.4 per cent) marginally, with far lower risks and far better minimum returns.<\/p>\n<p>As investors, you will have to compare the fund\u2019s average return of 9.6 per cent over the last 10 years with those offered by 3-year FDs. According to RBI data, such returns would be about 8 per cent if you reinvested the money every three years, and even if you chose longer period FDs. <b>And remember, tax would eat up a chunk of your FD returns, while MIPs will enjoy capital gains indexation benefit.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Portfolio<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In the past two years, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Birla-SL-MIP-II-Savings-5-G-?c=419\" target=\"_blank\">Birla Saving 5<\/a> has had less than 10 per cent of its holdings in equities. Of its current 10 per cent holding in equity, about 6 per cent is in mid-cap stocks. Still, this is spread over 21 stocks (out of a total of 35 stocks) and may not hurt even in the event of a mid-cap bubble.<\/p>\n<p>The fund has mostly held gilts with an average maturity of over 10 years. Currently with an average maturity of 12.8 years (as of June 2016), the fund has gained handsomely from the gilt rally, generating 9 per cent returns year to date as opposed to a category return of 7.1 per cent.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2106-08-03-Holdings.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9583\" alt=\"2106-08-03 - Holdings\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2106-08-03-Holdings.jpg\" width=\"481\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2106-08-03-Holdings.jpg 481w, https:\/\/fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/2106-08-03-Holdings-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The fund\u2019s overweight position in gilt and low to nil holdings in equities paid off handsomely in the calendar year 2008. Even as the equity market took a hit that year, it was a period when gilt outshone. With little or no exposure in equities that year, the fund delivered a handsome return of 28.5 per cent that year (the CRISIL 10-year gilt index delivered 27 per cent, indicating that is where the returns came from). This, when its peers fell between 1-12 per cent!<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-highlight\" style=\"clear: both; background: #f4f4f4; border: none; width: 60%; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/registration\/login.jsp?ref=blog-button\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"color: #000; font-weight: bold;\">Open<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;\"> a FREE Account Now! <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>The year 2008 was a classic example of how, even with equity exposures as low as 20-25 per cent (the average holding of MIP funds in equities), MIP funds can be vulnerable to equity market falls.

Funds such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Birla-SL-MIP-II-Savings-5-G-?c=419\">Savings 5<\/a> would give you relatively low volatility, if you are content with the FD-plus returns.<\/p>\n<p>The fund has a compact AUM of Rs. 247 crore.<\/p>\n<p><em>FundsIndia\u2019s Research team has, to the best of its ability, taken into account various factors \u2013 both quantitative measures and qualitative assessments, in an unbiased manner, while choosing the fund(s) mentioned above.
