sector or industry. These funds are considered extremely risky because the
investments are concentrated on a single sector, which may perform better at certain
times than others. While these funds giver higher returns, they are also more riskier as
compared to the diversified funds.
Therefore these funds are ideal investment vehicle for investors who have a well versed
knowledge about a particular sector and have a high risk appetite.

Type of Fund

An open ended equity scheme:


• The scheme continuously offers new units to the investors.
• An investor will generally purchase shares in the fund directly from the fund
itself rather than from the existing shareholders.
• Issue and redeem shares at any time at Net Asset Value (NAV) related prices
which are declared on a daily basis.

Asset Allocation Process
Asset The asset allocation under the Mutual Fund is stated below:
Allocation
Investments Allocation Risk Profile
Equity Securities 100% Medium to High

Note: The asset allocation is fixed and will not vary under any
circumstances at the sole decision of the Fund Manager.

Asset The asset allocation process was carried out by undertaking a


Allocation simulation process for 3 different time periods. The most efficient
Process asset allocation was found out by the process of review and
rebalancing for the following periods:
A) April 2011- March 2016
B) October 2011- September 2016
C) April 2012-March 2017’

The mutual fund only consists of equity securities and hence, the
simulation only equity was used in the simulation process.
The steps carried out in the simulation process have been stated
below:

STEPS PARTICULARS
STEP 1 The Adjusted Closing Prices (Monthly) for the
respective time periods is collected.
STEP 2 The Holding Period Return (HPR) is calculated for
each month.

STEP 3 The Average Monthly HPR and Standard Deviation,


the Annualized HPR and Standard Deviation is

calculated for each equity stock for every time period.

STEP 4 Using Data Analysis, the VAR-COVAR Matrix is


calculated, using the HPRs of the stocks. This
matrix indicates the correlation of each stock with the
others in the respective time period.

9
STEP 5 The Bordered VAR-COVAR matrix is constructed.
The individual values of the matrix is calculated by
multiplying the correlation with the respective
weights of the 2 stocks. The initial weights assigned
are equal for each stock. ( Since the 1 st period
consists of 5 stocks, the weights assigned are 0.2 for
each stock)
STEP 6 The Total Variance is calculated by adding all the
individual variances of the stocks. The monthly and
annualized standard deviation is calculated using the
total variance of the portfolio.
The annualized portfolio return is calculated with the
help of the excel function =SUMPRODUCT, in
which the 1st Array consists of the weights assigned
to each stock and the 2 nd Array is the annualized
returns of each stock.
STEP 7 The Solver Function, available in the Data Analysis
of Excel Tab, is used to calculate the Efficient
Frontier of Risk V/S Risk. The set objective under
Solver is to minimize the Total Variance by changing
weights assigned to each stock. The
objective of the solver is calculate the minimum risk
for the given level of portfolio return. For 5 stocks the
solver will contain 12 constraints and for a
portfolio of 4 stocks there will be 10 constraints.
Since the weights that can be assigned to each stock
is between 0 and 1, each stock will have 2
constraints for this fact. One constraint will explain
that the sum of weights assigned is equal to one. The
last constraint contain the different yearly portfolio
returns. There are ten scenarios which contain ten
different Yearly Portfolio returns. The Ten different
yearly returns is calculated by differentiating the
Highest and Lowest returns form the stocks and
diving it by 10.
STEP 8 Each scenario is saved in the What-If Analysis under
the Data Tab of Excel. The Scenario Pivot-
Table Report is created with the help of summary tab
under What-If Analysis. The Pivot-Table shows the
yearly portfolio Risk and Returns under each
scenario.
STEP 9 The Efficient Frontier Graph is created selecting the
Risk and Return data available in the Pivot-Table and
inserting a Scatter Chart.

10
STEP 10 The Capital Market Line (CML) is generated on the
Efficient Frontier Graph with the help of the
annualized returns and risk of the Risk Free asset
(SBI 1 year Fixed Deposit Interest Rate) and the
annualized returns and risk of the Market (NIFTY
50)
STEP 11 With the help of the CML, the most optimal
Portfolios are found out and the Sharpe Ratio of
each of these portfolios is calculated. Using the
Sharpe Ratio, the portfolio with the highest average
return in excess of the risk free rate of return per unit
of the Total risk undertaken is found out. So, the
portfolio with the highest Sharpe Ratio is selected.
STEP 12 The portfolio is reviewed and rebalanced twice by
changing the time periods and repeating the whole
process to find the optimum efficient frontiers.

The Capital Market Line indicated by the Orange Straight line on the Graph is created
with the help of Average Annual Standard Deviation and return of the NIFTY (Market)
and the Risk Free Asset (SBI 1-year Fixed Deposit Rate). It is the intersection of the
returns from the risk free asset and market returns. The CML is used to find the most
efficient and optimal portfolio. All the Portfolios above the CML are over-valued,
which means that they are a providing a higher return, than the market and the risk free
asset, for the risk undertaken.
Since, the entire curve of the Efficient Frontier lies above the Capital Market Line, and
thus, the Sharpe ratio of all the Portfolio Iterations is needed to be calculated. The
Iteration with the highest Sharpe Ratio will be chosen as the most optimal portfolio.
This is the criteria of selection for all the three periods.
The Iteration 4 has the highest Sharpe Ratio (1.0448) with Average Yearly Portfolio
Return of 52.38%, which is significantly higher than the Market Return (7.32%) and
the Average Annualized Standard Deviation of 42.09%. The Sharpe Ratio is positive
indicating that the portfolio gave higher returns than the risk free rate of return for the
subsequent risk taken.

The entire efficient curve is above the Capital Market Line, so the Sharpe ratio of all

Portfolio Iteration 4 has the highest Sharpe Ratio of 1.1987. It gave an average
annualized return of 56.28% with an average annualized standard deviation (risk) of
39.88%. This portfolio has a high Sharpe ratio, as it is giving a much higher return when
compared to the risk free return (8.475%) and at a risk (SD) which is much lower than
the annualized returns. The Sharpe Ratio is clear indication that the Portfolio was able
to perform well in the market for the respective period.

The Graph clearly portrays that The Capital Market Line is cutting the Efficient
Frontier just below the Portfolio Iteration 9 and just above the 10 th Iteration. Hence,
the 10th Iteration is not taken into consideration, as it is not an efficient portfolio and
hence, the Sharpe Ratio for all the other Portfolio Iterations is calculated. Iteration 1
has the highest Sharpe Ratio of 1.8087 and an average annualized return of 68.26%

and an average annualized standard deviation of 33.32%. The weights are assigned to
only two companies, which are United Breweries (7.86%) and Assoc Alcohol
(92.14%), as they are providing the highest risk-adjusted return.

Asset Allocation Process The asset allocation process was carried out by undertaking a simulation process for 3
different time periods. The most efficient asset allocation was found out by the process of review and rebalancing for
the following periods:

A) April 2011- March 2016 B) October 2011- September 2016 C) April 2012-March 2017’

The mutual fund only consists of equity securities and hence, the simulation only equity was used in the simulation
process.

The steps carried out in the simulation process have been stated below:

STEPS PARTICULARS

11 STEP 1 THE ADJUSTED CLOSING PRICES (MONTHLY) FOR THE RESPECTIVE TIME PERIODS
I
COLLECTED.

STEP 2 THE HOLDING PERIOD RETURN (HPR) IS CALCULATED FOR EACH MONTH.

STEP 3 THE AVERAGE MONTHLY HPR AND STANDARD DEVIATION, THE ANNUALIZED HPR
AND STANDARD DEVIATION IS CALCULATED FOR EACH EQUITY STOCK FOR EVERY TIME
PERIOD.

STEP 4 Using Data Analysis, the VAR-COVAR Matrix is calculated, using the HPRs of the stocks. This matrix
indicates the correlation of each stock with the others in the respective time period.

STEP 5 The Bordered VAR-COVAR matrix is constructed. 11 THE INDIVIDUAL VALUES OF THE MATRIX I
CALCULATED BY MULTIPLYING THE CORRELATION WITH THE RESPECTIVE WEIGHTS OF THE
2 STOCKS. The initial weights assigned are equal for each stock. ( Since the 1st period consists of 5 stocks, the
weights assigned are 0.2 for each stock)

STEP 6 The Total Variance is calculated by adding all the individual variances of the stocks. The monthly and
annualized standard deviation is calculated using the total variance of the portfolio.

The annualized portfolio return is calculated with the help of the excel function =SUMPRODUCT, in which the 1st
Array consists of the weights assigned to each stock and the 2nd Array is the annualized returns of each stock.

minimize the Total Variance by changing weights assigned to each stock. 14 THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SOLVE
R
IS CALCULATE THE MINIMUM RISK FOR THE GIVEN LEVEL OF PORTFOLIO RETURN. For 5
stocks the solver will contain 12 constraints and for a portfolio of 4 stocks there will be 10 constraints.

Since the weights that can be assigned to each stock is between 0 and 1, each stock will have 2 constraints for this fac
One constraint will explain that the sum of weights assigned is equal to one. The last constraint contain the different
yearly portfolio returns. There are ten scenarios which contain ten different Yearly Portfolio returns. The Ten
different yearly returns is calculated by differentiating the Highest and Lowest returns form the stocks and diving it
by 10.

STEP 8 Each scenario is saved in the What-If Analysis under the Data Tab of Excel. The Scenario Pivot-Table Report
is created with the help of summary tab under What-If Analysis. The Pivot-Table shows the yearly portfolio Risk and
Returns under each scenario.

STEP 9 The Efficient Frontier Graph is created selecting the Risk and Return data available in the Pivot-Table and
inserting a Scatter Chart.

STEP 10 The Capital Market Line (CML) is generated on the Efficient Frontier Graph with the help of the annualized
returns and risk of the Risk Free asset (SBI 1 year Fixed Deposit Interest Rate) and the annualized returns and risk o
the Market (NIFTY 50)

STEP 11 With the help of the CML, the most optimal Portfolios are found out and the Sharpe Ratio of each of these
portfolios is calculated. 15 USING THE SHARPE RATIO, THE PORTFOLIO WITH THE HIGHEST
AVERAGE RETURN IN EXCESS OF THE RISK FREE RATE OF RETURN PER UNIT OF THE TOTAL
RISK UNDERTAKEN IS FOUND OUT. 16 SO, THE PORTFOLIO WITH THE HIGHEST SHARPE
RATIO IS SELECTED.
11 STEP 12 THE PORTFOLIO IS REVIEWED AND REBALANCED TWICE BY CHANGING THE TIME

PERIODS AND REPEATING THE WHOLE PROCESS TO FIND THE OPTIMUM EFFICIENT
FRONTIERS.

The Capital Market Line indicated by the Orange Straight line on the Graph is created with the help of Average
Annual Standard Deviation and return of the NIFTY (Market) and the Risk Free Asset (SBI 1-year Fixed Deposit
Rate). It is the intersection of the returns from the risk free asset and market returns. The CML is used to find the
most efficient and optimal portfolio. All the Portfolios above the CML are over-valued, which means that they are a
providing a higher return, than the market and the risk free asset, for the risk undertaken.

Since, the entire curve of the Efficient Frontier lies above the Capital Market Line, and thus, the Sharpe ratio of all th
Portfolio Iterations is needed to be calculated. 16 THE ITERATION WITH THE HIGHEST SHARPE RATIO
WILL BE CHOSEN AS THE MOST OPTIMAL PORTFOLIO.
This is the criteria of selection for all the three
periods.

The Iteration 4 has the highest Sharpe Ratio (1.0448) with Average Yearly Portfolio Return of 52.38%, which is
significantly higher than the Market Return (7.32%) and the Average Annualized Standard Deviation of 42.09%. 11
THE SHARPE RATIO IS POSITIVE INDICATING THAT THE PORTFOLIO GAVE HIGHER RETURNS
THAN THE RISK FREE RATE OF RETURN FOR THE SUBSEQUENT RISK TAKEN.
