We have noticed many regulatory changes in the mutual fund industry in the upcoming year, which is about to end soon. In an attempt to make mutual funds more transparent for traders and investors, SEBI came up with some changes which will remain applicable in the new year 2021.
Here is a list of changes that will come into effect in Jan 2021.
1. Changes in portfolio allocation rules for multi-cap funds:
SEBI announced portfolio allocation rules for multi-cap mutual fund schemes. As per the new rules made by SEBI, a mutual fund scheme will have to invest at least 75% in equities and equity-related investments. In addition to this, the schemes will have to invest in a minimum of 25% each in small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap stocks. At present, there is no such restriction allocation and therefore fund managers are allowed to invest in the mid-cap as per their own choice.
All mutual fund houses were given time till 31 January 2021, to comply with the fresh rules, within the one month from the date of publishing the next lists of stocks by AMFI. Following concern in the industry, the SEBI later introduced a new mutual fund category called flex cap fund, which is required to invest at 65% of the corpus in equity without any restrictions on investing in small-cap, mid-cap or large-cap funds. Some AMCs have already reclassified their multi-cap schemes as Flexi cap category to avoid any portfolio changes.
2. Changes in NAV Calculation
From January 1, 2021, mutual fund investors will get the purchase NAV of the day, when investors’ money reaches the AMC, irrespective of the size of investments. This NAV rule will be applicable only for those funds which are available for utilization irrespective of the name and size of the application.
Under the prevailing rules, the NAV of the date of purchase is considered for the purchase of less than Rs 2 lakh, even if the money does not reach the AMC, but the order is placed within the cut off time.
3. Inter Scheme Transfer of Securities
According to the sources, inter scheme transfer (IST) of debt papers can only be done within 3 business days of the allotment of the schemes’ units and after three business days, such transfer will not be allowed. Under prevailing rules, SEBI only requires that such IST be done at the market prices.
From January 1, 2021, inter scheme transfer in closed-ended funds can be done within 3 business days as the scheme transfers involve shifting of debt papers from one mutual fund scheme to another.
Moreover, SEBI also specified that such ISTs be done only at the market places and no ISTs shall be allowed if there is any negative market news or rumours in the mainstream media.
4. Renaming the dividend option
From April 1, 2021, mutual fund schemes comprising all the dividend schemes will be renamed as income distribution cum capital withdrawal options.
5.New Riskometer Tool
SEBI introduces a new category of mutual fund schemes on its riskometer tool for investors to make better decisions with high-risk mutual funds. Earlier, the model was simply based on the risk of the category without considering its actual portfolio. The new riskometer shall be evaluated every month and all schemes will be labelled for risks and funds.
SEBI is considering additional measures which are expected to be implemented with the mutual fund industry. Here are some of them:

National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) will relaunch the Steel Futures contract on Monday, January 18, 2021, a release issued by the exchange said on Thursday.
Initially, contracts will be available for the months expiring in February 2021, March 2021 and April 2021. With this launch, the first in this year, NCDEX has re-entered the Non-Agri space expanding the bouquet of derivative products.
India is the 2nd largest steel producer in the world and it mainly caters to the Infrastructure and Construction industry. The major steel-producing states in India are Punjab, Chattisgarh, West Bengal, UP, Orissa and Gujarat.
The steel industry is the heart of global development. It is considered crucial for the development of the economy and is considered the backbone of human civilization.
The importance of steel to the economy can be further verified by the fact that level of per capita consumption of Steel is treated as an important index to measure the level of socioeconomic development and living standard of the people of a country. All major economies around the world have been largely shaped by the strength of their steel industry in their initial years of development.
Commenting on the launch, Vijay Kumar, MD & CEO, NCDEX, stated, “India is on the cusp of exponential growth in infrastructure sector due to government impetus on making the country a $5-trillion economy in the coming years. As a result, the consumption of steel is likely to take a quantum leap ahead.
As the price of steel is a major component of total cost in many infra-projects, developers find it difficult to manage the volatility in steel prices in absence of an appropriate hedging platform in the country. The steel contract being launched by us will provide these entities with a reliable and transparent risk management tool to hedge against volatile prices.”
Mr Kapil Dev, EVP & Head of Business & Products, NCDEX stated, “India’s steel consumption is probably going to develop at a lot sooner tempo as over Rs. 44 lakh crore value of initiatives is already being applied out of Rs. 111-lakh-crore National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP).
Even the home manufacturing and exports are additionally on the rise at a brisk tempo. On the opposite hand, logistical and provide inefficiencies have made steel and its uncooked materials cost extraordinarily unstable posing challenges to the complete worth chain individuals. Because of this, having a steel futures contract at this level of time has an amazing utility for producers in addition to customers to handle their value dangers.’’
Indian Railway Finance Corporation known as IRFC is a finance arm of the Indian Railways. Incorporated in 1986, Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) is a public-sector enterprise that is wholly-owned by the Government of India.
The company is registered with the RBI as a systemically important NBFC and is classified under the category of an “Infrastructure Finance Company”. Its primary business is financing the acquisition of rolling stock assets, which includes both powered and unpowered vehicles, for example, locomotives, coaches, wagons, trucks, flats, electric multiple units, containers, cranes, trollies of all kinds and other items of rolling stock components as enumerated in the Standard Lease Agreement (collectively, “Rolling Stock Assets”), leasing of railway infrastructure assets and national projects of the Government of India (collectively, “Project Assets'') and lending to other entities under the Ministry of Railways, Government of India (“MoR”).
It follows a financial leasing model to finance rolling stock assets procurement for a lease period of 30 years. The key thing to note is in the last 30 years IRFC has zero NPA. In fiscal 2019, the actual capital expenditures by the Indian Railways were Rs. 1,334 billion, out of which, IRFC financed Rs. 525.35 bn accounting for 39.34% expenditures.
IRFC IPO is a main-board IPO of 1,782,069,000 equity shares of the face value of ₹10 aggregating up to ₹4,633.38 Crores of which Fresh Issue 11,88,04,60,000 Shares Equity Shares, aggregating up to Rs 3088.92 Crore Offer for Sale comprises: Up to 59,40,23,000 Equity Shares, aggregating up to Rs 1546.44 crore.

Tentative Time Table:
The market cap @26/share on listing day will be around 33000 crores and it is going to enter the top 100 large-cap company list. IRFC operates on a unique business model, quite contrasting to REC/PFC. Whatever price they borrow from the market, while financing to MoR, they provide it with a 40 basis point margin.
For railway companies, the margin is 150 basis points. Eyeing the budget it is expected that IRFC may get further orders from the railways as the government is planning to run 150 private trains. However, if the government doesn't fix IRFC as the only NBFC for Railways, IRFC may lose its monopoly. We recommend a "Subscribe" rating only for the long term.
Disinvestment is defined as the action of an organization (or the government) usually central and state selling or liquidating an asset or subsidiary.
It is known by other names such as ‘divestment’ or ‘divestiture.’
In the wake of the economic policy known as 'liberalization, privatization, globalization ' in the 1990s, the Indian government then began to divest its stake in public-sector companies, which further helped the center trim its fiscal deficits.
Governments would often sell stakes in public sector companies in order to raise revenue. In recent times, the central government would use this route to make up for the loss-making ventures and then increase the non-tax revenues.
The National Democratic Alliance government has made some strategic disinvestment in key PSUs like Bharat aluminum company and Hindustan zinc, Indian petrochemicals corporation limited, and VSNL.
Under Narendra Modi, the NDA tried retiring government debt as mostly 41-45% of the centre’s revenue receipts would go towards the repayment of public debt or interest so the government decided to exceed its divestment target of 2017-18, after failure to retire the debt of Air India.
This could have been possible by the method of strategic cross-divestment which can be defined as one PSU buying a stake in another, helping the government to raise revenues but keeping the company's control over itself.
The following are the main objectives of disinvestment
Disinvestment can be done in the following ways
The new industrial policy of 1991, introduced along with other economic reforms, discussed the disinvestment and privatization of PSUs. The government's disinvestment policy stated that
The listing of all the unlisted PSUs would then sell a minimum of 25 percent of equity to the public.
The sale of Air India and its subsidiaries was not able to attract a single bid in 2018-19.
Dipam and the civil aviation ministry will again go for it in 2019-20.
Dipam and the ministry of tourism will be making a deal that will be placed in front of the cabinet committee on economic affairs in 2019-20.
By December 2019 the government is also looking to find a potential operator for its hospitality property, Hotel Ashok.
Some of the IPOs that will face disinvestment are Telecommunications Consultants India, Railtel corporation India, national seed corporation Kudremukh Iron Ore Company, Garden Reach Shipbuilders, and IRCTC.

Let's understand what an Equity Trading Account is and how we successfully create Demat accounts.
Equity trading accounts are required to trade any financial securities. This account involves purchasing and selling of shares within a single account, which is known as Demat account or dematerialized account.
Equity trading account opening involves signing up for trading and Demat accounts. Both the accounts can be interlinked to your savings account for the transferring of funds.
A trading account lets you successfully trade in the Indian stock market. After opening a Demat account and trading account, you will get a unique identification number (UID).
A Demat account enables you to buy/sell and hold financial securities that too in a dematerialized form. Earlier, shares used to trade physically, however with the arrival of the Demat account, many problems have been resolved.
There are bountiful benefits of opening an Equity Trading Account:
Accessibility is such an important concept here and therefore it is suggested to go for an equity trading account that has accessibility to all the stock exchanges across the country.
Imagine you are in the middle of trading and often face multiple transaction issues such as transferring amounts. It not only creates hurdles in your transactions but also decreases the mode of trading.
Step 1:
You are required to choose a DP for your account.
Step 2:
The next step is to fill the account opening form for Demat and trading accounts.
Step 3:
Photo Id proof is required such as PAN card/ Voter ID card/ Passport.
Step 4:
Financial proof is required such as ITR acknowledgment, a copy of annual accounts and more.
Step 5:
Once you cleared all the above steps, you will receive Demat and Trading Accounts.
Stock trading is something that provides you with high returns too with a short period. Although there are multiple financial securities investors can invest their amount such as government bonds, debts, certificates of deposits. These securities give less return as compared to the stock market.
With Swastika’s equity trading account, you can seamlessly perform stock market operations. Swastika’s trading tips and recommendations will also help you to get the best stocks to invest in.

We all have some desires in life and we work hard to fulfill them at any cost, sometimes it takes less time to achieve them. But how it can be done, you cannot plant money on trees we all need to work to earn.
But human nature desires keep on increasing with the span of time and along with desires earning should need to be increased. In this time of inflation, an individual always thought of how to save his money from unnecessary expenditure, but in this is life anything can happen which makes a difference in a very small time.
One should plan everything in a systematic manner where the unplanned event won't harm his earnings. Though still some of us take more time to decide what can be done to avoid all such events. Many often we never discuss how we can plan our money to invest in such a manner where regular earning can be generated along with we will be able to face inflation too.
Our parents and grandparents always suggested investing in those traditional instruments which take a lot of time to grow and sometimes it is hard to keep them with us. But at last, we need to follow what our mind says.
" I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful" Warren Buffet.
One should be ready to invest when the market is down and come out when it's on highs.
Here are some important benefits we get when we invest in the stock market.
The stock market investment will give long term benefits which prevent our wealth from the impact of inflation.
As compare to other financial instruments buying & selling of stocks are easier and in a convenient manner.
When the economy is on a growing stage, earnings of the corporate also increased, therefore if purchased any good quality company, benefits are there in terms of quality returns.
It is not easy to start any business which we think of, but just because we like it we can become a partial owner of that. After purchasing shares of any of our favorite businesses we get the right to vote and we become a partial owner of it.
Along with the growth in the share prices companies also providing additional benefits in the form of dividends which is actually a part of sharing from the profit that the company earns in a financial year.
Crude oil price is trading at a nine-month high after declining in last week US crude inventory data and showing optimistic views over the coronavirus relief package in the US. However, upside movement is controlled due to the increase in Gasoline Inventory and lower fuel demand.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures shined by 25 cents, 0.46%, from $47.62 to $ 47.84 a barrel. Brent Crude Future rose by 32 cents, or 0.63%, from %50.76 to $51.08. Both benchmarks are trading near nine months high, which is high near early march.
Also, on Wednesday the US Fed announces that the interest rate will remain unchanged, which is 0.25% and in addition adds a stimulus package to boost the relief in Coronavirus and unemployment.
At the same time due to a boost in logistics and e-commerce driven trucking and transportation diesel consumption increased, which is signalling a positive strength to the petroleum market. Higher diesel prices are adding more profits for refineries from processing a barrel of light crude to fuel.
Meanwhile, the oil market outlook is mixed as increased gasoline inventory and lower fuel demand is showing some pressure, while at the same time declining US crude inventory and stimulus relief are adding positive strength in the market.
Similarly, on a technical chart MCX Crude Oil price has shifted above the 138.2% Fibonacci Retracement price extension level 3479 and 100 days SMA’s level 3476, which will act as immediate support levels for the counter. An indicator RSI(14) is moving above level 60, which has witnessed bullish sentiments in the counter for the short term. On the other hand, the price may face resistance near 3750-3770, which is above near 200 points from CMP, which means crude oil price has more upside strength till 3700.

Seeing the attraction in Burger King IPO and the outlook for QSR we expect that Mrs Bectors Food Specialities Ltd will be another attractive IPO for the investors. The fundamentals of the company don’t look good as of now as they have seen very slow growth in the last 3 years also debt have increased form 35 cr in 2017 to 85 cr in 2020.
The company is well-positioned in North India and has an opportunity to expand in the South and other parts of India. The company does not have any contract with the institutional customer which is the key risk for the company also bakery business has low entry barrier as it can be started with low investment.
However, the demand from the QSR chains will be a key beneficiary for the company. We recommend a SUBSCRIBE rating to the IPO only for the aggressive investors for listing gain and short term.
On September 27, India's President gave consent to three farm bills herein listed below:
As per this bill, farmers can enter into a written agreement for a specified period of time with companies and companies can customize the price, standard, and quality for the produce and other legalities in advance.
The new Marketplace law says that farmers can sell their produce anywhere – and not just in the APMC approved marketplace or mandis, they can sell it into not only their state but outside their state even online. Whereas state governments are prohibited from levying any market fee, cess, or levy outside APMC or Mandi areas.
This Act mainly controls and deals with the production, supply, and distribution of certain essential commodities. Companies and Supermarkets etc cannot accumulate the items listed in this act when there is a shortage and they can’t artificially increase the price.
The Farmers of UP, Haryana, and Punjab are upset with these bills and fear that this may be an excuse to pull off the MSP safety net from under their feet.
MSP stands for Minimum Support Price, It is the price lay down by the government to purchase crops from the farmers, whatever may be the market price for the crops. It is a significant part of India's agricultural price policy that assures the farmers about agricultural income before the sowing. MSP protects the farmers against excessive fall in price during bumper production years
Further State like Haryana & Punjab has vested interest of reduction in their state earnings as state governments are prohibited from levying any market fee, cess, or levy outside APMC or Mandi areas.
Haryana levies 2% Mandi Tax that goes to Mandi Board & 2% Rural Development cess that goes to state govt. whereas in Punjab it is 3% Mandi Tax and 3% rural development cess. Punjab is a smaller state and that earns Rs. 1700 crore in a year through rural development cess & Mandi tax. Besides this 2.5% commission agent also take home 2.% of the sale price.
So. these are some controversies on Farm Bills, Now let's see what comes out on round table conference between Farmer Unions and Centre.

National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) has launched its first agricultural commodity futures contract for crude degummed soybean oil on December 1 having the trading symbol as DEGUMSOYOIL. The contract with the lot size of 10MT (metric ton) is having monthly expiry that will be settled in cash and Kandla will be held as price basis.
The contract will facilitate the soybean oils processing and allied industries in India and overseas, a perfect hedging tool for managing their price, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) said in a statement.
Vikram Limaye, MD and CEO of NSE, said the exchange is dedicated to deepening the Indian commodity markets by providing convenient and cost-effective onshore hedging products.
India is the largest importer of edible oils in the world. The futures contract will act as a perfect hedging tool for the soybean oils processing and allied industries in India and overseas to manage their price risks.
Basically, Crude Degummed Soybean Oil (CDSO) is produced from soybeans. Most of the free fatty acids and gums naturally present in soybeans are removed by mechanical, physical or sometimes chemical separation. The oil is then degummed for applications or consumption.
As we can see in NCDEX Soyabean Oil, Indore is the price basis, which does not clearly reflect the price dynamics of imported oil but focuses on domestic production whereas, in the new product of NSE CDSO having Kandla as price basis, it clearly reflects on the dynamics of imported oil as CDSO contract would be suitable for the role of benchmark for Indian Soyabean Oil.
Imported soyabean oil contribute to 2/3rd of India’s total soyabean oil supply, as almost 3/4th of total imports originate from Argentina, whereas half of the imports arrive at Kandla port.
The new contract of NSE CDSO will open up the gate for great trades, Arbitraging, Spread and Hedging opportunities.

Gold is the most important and precious financial asset for Indians and worldwide. It is also considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity among Indians because their emotional sentiments are connected with this.
People think that gold is the best investment form to deal with Inflation and they can convert it to cash in case of emergency need of money, it also helps people to take as a Mortgage loan.
But while investing in gold so many points come in our mind that what are the factors which influence the prices of gold? So, below are some important factors which affect gold prices:
As it’s very clear for anything which is traded that demand and supply play a vital role in influencing the price of those instruments. Similarly, the demand and supply of Gold play an important role in determining its price. Although gold is not a consumable commodity like Oil, Copper, etc. Historically, Gold mined till date from mines is still available in the world. Also, the production of the gold from the mines is not too high and if in this situation demand will increase so definitely it will increase the prices of the gold. Due to COVID-19 gold mines were impacted all over the world due to lockdown. Mining production fell almost 3% in the first quarter of 2020 from 2015.
Central banks of the major economies (like the US, China, India, UK, Australia) hold Gold & currency as a part of their reserves for managing trade war and cash flows in their countries. In this kind of situation due to sheer volume either buying or sell by banks may derive the price of gold up or downside.
Since the contribution of India in world gold production is less than 1 per cent, but it’s the second-largest consumer of gold after China. So, it imports a huge amount of gold to fulfill demand. Therefore, Import Duty plays a crucial role to derive the gold price in India.
There is an inverse relation between gold prices and interest rates. If the interest goes up then people start selling gold to get it to liquidate and they take more cash in their hand on the other hand if the interest rate goes down so people start buying gold due to having more cash in their hand to get a good price appreciation of the yellow metals.
As gold is traded in US Dollar in the international market, therefore, when we import gold so all transactions are done in USD then there is a need to convert USD to INR, which fluctuates gold prices in India. If the INR starts depreciating it will make gold costlier and vice versa.

Day Trading refers to market positions that are held only a short time; typically, the trader opens and closes a position the same day but positions can be held for a period of time as well. The position can be either long (buying outright) or short ("borrowing" shares, then offering to sell at a certain price).
A day trader or intraday trader is looking to take advantage of volatility during the trading day, and reduce "overnight risk" caused by events (such as a bad earnings surprise) that might happen after the markets are closed.
Day trading got a bad reputation in the 1990s when many beginners began to day trade, jumping onto the new online trading platforms without applying tested stock trading strategies. They thought they could “go to work” in their pyjamas and make a fortune in stock trades with very little knowledge or effort. This proved not to be the case.
Yet day trading is not all that complicated once you learn a simple, rules-based strategy for anticipating market moves, such as that taught at Online Trading Academy.
Beginners can get overwhelmed by what they perceive to be the fast-paced and aggressive strategies necessary to generate large returns through day trading. This doesn't have to be the case, as Online Trading Academy's patented and proven core day trading strategy relies on patience and a good understanding of how to analyze risk and reward scenarios on any trade.
While it takes some work to fully learn and rely on guiding principles of day trading or intraday trading, beginner traders can give themselves a head start with some basic tips to craft a well-developed trading style.
