Follow up note to the NFO of AXIS Short Term Plan
Thank you all for investing & supporting the NFO of AXIS Short Term Plan which closed on January 20’2010. The said NFO collected a decent sum of close to Rs.300 crs. As was discussed with most of our investors, 50% of these funds are already invested in 2-5 year corporate bonds & balance 50% is invested in CPs/CDs & cash.
As per the offer document, of the above, upto 30% of the portfolio will stay invested in less than one year maturities. Also, the Fund Manager has taken a tactical call of investing another 20% (out of the allocation earmarked in CP/CD as the same was giving higher carry than parking under CBLO) of the portfolio in medium term debt of 2-5 year segment post the Credit Policy Review tomorrow. If the RBI hikes benchmark rates, he will be able to capture that higher carry.
Inspite of the fact that only 50% of the portfolio is invested in corporate NCDs of 2-5 years, the said portfolio has captured a very decent yield of 6.29% with average maturity of close to 1.75 years. Post the policy, the Fund Manager hopes to increase the Average Maturity to 2 years with gross yield between 6.50% to 6.75%.
