Received from Mr. Padmanabhan, CFP

Dear Sir,

Good day!

I searched and found the following details from Value Research

Quantum Tax Saving 2.47 Crores as on 31st Dec 2010
Quantum Long Term Equity 61.76 Crores as on 31st Dec 2010
Quantum Equity FoF 1.73 Crores as on 31st Dec 2010
Quantum Index Fund 1.43 Crores as on 31st Dec 2010
Quantum Gold Fund 25.63 Crores as on 31st Dec 2010
Quantum Liquid Fund` 25.42 Crores as on 31st Dec 2010

The total fund size (including all the funds) is less than 120 crore, it is
as good as a big equity distributor (Individual) portfolio.

Their performance is good, no question on that.

Nowadays, all the fund house chosen the greenary path and not sending the
first Statement of account also. Distributor is the one who takes care of
all the services, believe me I don't know where is their office in chennai
if at all something is there.

Any Big Distributor if they want to run like this, they can run.

When the MF penetration is less than 5%, distributor needs to educate and
handhold them till they get familiar about this. In case of any need who
will come and talk? This is the small noise and nobody (hardly anybody) will
notices and asked this fund. Let them spend their money and they will not
get any business even for their cost of spedning the advertisement.

Why investors are paying to the distributor, because of the value addition
they get and they are able to access at any point of time.

We should worry only people who are level playing, they are not at all
eligible for AMC itself.

with best regards
B. Padmanaban

Mr.Venkatesh from Trivandrum

Send off gift to the most respected person mr bhave. they are an AMC which probably will not pay salaries to employees. they are into charity. we will request the commissioner of income tax to make investments in the AMC eligibile for SEC 80 G deduction.

Dear Ramesh,
Recently I have got a few calls from my clients saying that they wanted to invest in this fund.
I understand the reason, now…their advts... J
Few thoughts…
Their long term equity fund around 60 crores aum is on top quartile performance with 1.50 expense ratio which is good.
But as we need to compare apple to apples…
This fund is a glorified PMS by a stock broker…it cannot match the analysis and risk process of a well managed 1000 crores plus mutual fund…
Best regards,

This advertisememt has appeared in various dailies yesterday.

Their equity fund is amongst the top performing one.

When I last saw their expense ratio was 1.56%.

It is better to ignore them. Why make them important?

If they walk the talk, they should not be running Personalfn and earning distributory commission.

total AUM as on 31/12/2010 is 118.45 crores. source is valueresearchonline.

if the AMC had actually gone with distribution am sure the aum will be atleast few thousand crores. what can one do if someone is bent up on going against basic business dynamics.?

am also against unreasonable payouts but 2.25% was fair . POST office savings let the Govt say the commission is very high lets see the impact. the business will come down by 98% . why? let investors go to post office and start handling things. my close friend from New Jersey had to spend 5 months in Trivandrum since his father had put FDs in PO . he had done it in multiple POs. my friend lost interest despite the amount being 15 lacs.

what was his loss of revenue? 5 months pay on an average 10000 USD a month. 50 grand.

investors have to look at the larger picture and stop going for free products. NOTHING in this world is free with the exception of parental love.
