PERFORMANCE OF OUR OWN RECOMMENDATIONS OF STPS

By · Friday, April 30th, 2010

I have been recommending one asset class viz. Short Term Plans from June 2009 onwards or even prior to that. On various occasions I had recommended different STP schemes of various AMCs based on their underlying portfolio and other macro factors prevalent in the market.
Some of the themes that I had picked up were following:

  • Lower duration higher carry
  • Higher carry through PTCs and short duration corporate bonds
  • Higher exposure to high yielding CDs with great compression story
  • High exposure to 3 month CPs in the month of March with compression of more than 300 bps, etc

Hence, as can be seen from above themes, most of these were high carry, compression stories, lower duration which have insulated investors from rate hike & CRR hike shocks at the same time generated much higher than liquid plus schemes on an ongoing basis.

RBI has hiked CRR from 5% to 6%,
Repo Rate from 4.75% to 5.25% and Reverse Repo Rate from 3.25% to 3.75% from July 2009 to April 2010.

Following sheet captures returns generated in some of these schemes I had recommended from time to time (they are all published on my blog: msjcapital.com on the dates mentioned) & how they have performed till date:
