FMPs - is it good to invest in them ?


With short term interest rates of less than a year looking good, it is not only banks which are coming up with attractive one-year deposits. Mutual funds too have been launching a number of one year close-ended debt products called Fixed Maturity Plans (FMPs) that could offer attractive yields.

However, there is the catch. Despite higher risk compared with deposits, FMPs, which typically invest in debt instruments for a fixed period, be it money market instruments or government and corporate bonds, were seen a superior option to bank deposits, due to their lower tax incidence. This is set to change if the revised draft of Direct Tax Code (DTC) is to be adopted in its current form from April 2012. Here's a quick recap on what made FMPs superior to Fixed Deposits (FDs) so far and how investors have to be selective with FMPs from hereon, if they have to enjoy optimal post-tax returns.

A lot remains to be done


One never notices what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done. -Marie Curie.

Well, looks like the euphoria over the US debt deal has given way to concerns about the health of the global economy. Manufacturing PMI reports from Australia to the US have shown continued moderation. Concerns have also surfaced over the adverse implications of the large spending cuts in the US on the world’s largest economy. In addition, a possible downgrade of the US debt rating is still lurking.
