6 Reasons Why GST Matters

By Kotak Securities:



In today's SlideShare, it is vital to understand the importance of GST. #GSTCleared
  1. 6 reasons why GST matters

  2. GST is a single tax on the supply of goods and services, right from the manufacturer to the consumer

  3. There is a maze of indirect taxes such as sales tax, excise and VAT, which lead to increased complexity

  4. The GST seeks to untangle a maze of indirect taxes such as sales tax, excise and VAT, which lead to increased complexity

  5. Currently, your tax on tax is already paid by the manufacturer which increases the prices. With GST, this anomaly will be corrected thus bringing down the final price

  6. Along with it, competition between the players will play a role in reducing the prices further. This is expected to be beneficial for the consumer

  7. An increase in consumption demand will boost the economic growth

Financial Planning and Its Strategic Benefits

By Kotak Securities:



Here are some reasons why a comprehensive financial plan is important
  1. Why should you make a Financial Plan?

  2. SAFETY NET FOR THE FUTURE: Financial planning helps give a direction to your financial decisions. It helps you decide various investments that can bail you out of your financial problems. For example, investing in various funds may help you repay the loan or save enough for your retirement. Once your financial goals are set, it helps make your life more secure and flexible for any financial emergency situation that may arise. Financial planning thus acts as a safety net for the future.

  3. HELPS DECISION-MAKING: Financial planning takes stock of your present as well as your future. It thus facilitates decision-making. Take the previous example, if you had a proper financial plan in place, you would never be short of funds for your daughter’s marriage or for buying your car.

  4. ALWAYS BE PREPARED: Suppose you save 5% of your salary or Rs 10,000 every month. Suppose your after-tax savings consist of Rs 1 lakh. You are saving this to buy your own car three years later. What if a sudden medical emergency crops you, and wipes out your savings? Not only does it affect your wealth, but it could also fall short in an extreme case.

  5. OPTIMUM USE OF RESOURCES: A financial plan also helps you form a strategy. This helps you allocate your resources to different assets. Thus, you use your money more wisely, leading to optimization of resources.

  6. BETTER STANDARD OF LIVING: With a realistic financial plan in place, you will never be short of funds. Liquidity will rarely be tight. All those month-end woes? Forget about them. Thus, you can achieve your goals without compromising your standard of living.

  7. DISCIPLINED LIFE: It is very common to spend more than what you earn. Many facilities like credit cards, ‘buy now, pay later’ schemes, installment services and so on, compel you to overlook finances or spend more than necessary. At the end of the month, when the bills keep pouring in your mail boxes, you find yourselves in a sticky situation. Financial planning thus helps infuse discipline in your life.

  8. EXPERT ADVICE: Financial planning if often undertaken with the help of an expert. It is wise to seek expert advice from professionals. If not, you could end up with poor financial information and decisions that can prove disastrous.

8 Things you need to know about Emerging Markets in 2016

Friday 15 July 2016

By Kotak Securities:




Here are 3 important ratios which can be useful while analysing your portfolio.
  1. 8 things to know about Emerging Markets in 2016

  2. Emerging markets got off to a fast start in early 2016

  3. Introduction of negative rates in Japan and parts of Europe sent investors looking for higher-yielding assets in the developing world

  4. The dollar fell to its lowest level post soft jobs data and indications that the Fed is unlikely to raise rates this year. Weaker dollar makes it easier for emerging markets to service debt that is denominated in the U.S. currency.

  5. Emerging markets bounced back faster after the 2008 financial crisis triggered by U.S. housing bubble burst and collapse of Lehman Brothers Inc.

  6. Chinese slowdown cut short that rally. Many fear that lowering of Chinese demand could be a problem again

  7. If the dollar continues to rally, it could make China devalue the Yuan and further slow growth

  8. A stronger dollar would also make it harder for developing countries to service debt denominated in the U.S. currency

  9. Rating firms have recently downgraded several developing countries, including Venezuela, Brazil and other commodity exporters and some investors worry about a default

6 Components to be Included in a Financial Plan

Wednesday 29 June 2016

By Kotak Securities:



Here's a checklist for effective financial planning.
  1. 6 Components to be included in a Financial Plan

  2. ASSESSING PRESENT: This part of the planning has to deal with taking stock of all the assets and resources you own currently. This helps you understand your current financial situation. It is the most important thing to do while doing financial planning.

  3. DETERMINING CONSTRAINTS: Everyone has some limitation or the other. These could be because of familial responsibilities, lack of access, government regulation and so on. These need to be taken into consideration while forming your financial plan. Determine constraints in financial planning areas like taxes, legalities, time horizon, liquidity, risk appetite and obligations.

  4. EVALUATING THE PLAN REGULARLY: A financial planning is a dynamic process and not a static one. This is because individual circumstances keep on changing. For example, 10 years ago when you made the plan, you had no monthly loan liabilities. Today, you have to spend amount of loan in installments. This changes your liquidity constraints and requirements. For this reason, your financial plan should be evaluated on a timely basis.

  5. SETTING OBJECTIVES OR GOALS: Now that you have your starting point, figure out your ending point – set your goals and objectives. This should be both in terms of the return you expect on your strategies and investments as well as the risk you are willing to take. That said, remember that a financial plan can consist of multiple goals of varying durations.

  6. DETERMINING APPROPRIATE PLAN AND STRATEGY: After analyzing the goals and constraints, various alternative strategies are designed. Compare these and find out the pros and cons of each plan. The best plan – which achieves the goals in the most efficient manner – should be chosen.

  7. ADJUSTING AND MODIFYING THE PLAN: After evaluating the plan, if a change is required, the plan should be altered keeping in mind your current situation. Appropriate modifications are an absolute must.

7 Broad Areas in which Financial Planning can be Undertaken

Monday 13 June 2016

By Kotak Securities:



Here are 7 broad areas to be considered during financial planning.
  1. 7 Broad Areas in which Financial Planning can be undertaken

  2. Cash flow: In simple terms, cash flow refers to the inflow and outflow of money. Cash flow planning refers to the process of identifying the major expenditures in the present and the future (both short-term and long-term), and making planned investments.

  3. Investment Planning: Saving and investing are two separate activities. Your wealth will only grow over time if you have invested it in assets. Investment planning deals with the kind of instruments an individual should invest in to get the best out of his wealth.

  4. Tax Planning: You can reduce your tax liability by planning effectively. With proper tax planning you can increase your after tax income. This could also decide your investment decisions.

  5. Insurance Planning: Proper insurance planning can help you look at the possibility of getting a wider coverage for the same amount or lower premium. Insurance enables you to live your lives to the fullest, without worrying about the financial impact of events that could hamper it.

  6. Retirement Planning: The future depends to a great extent on the choices you make today. Right decisions with the help of proper financial planning taken at the right time will assure your peace during retirement. Retirement planning acquires added importance because of the fact that though longevity has increased, the number of working years haven't.

  7. Estate Planning: Everyone acquires a considerable amount of real estate during his lifetime. In case of death or during lifetime, this can be transferred to either heirs or to institutions and charities. Planning this transfer in the most efficient way is termed as estate planning.

  2. India will levy capital gains tax on investments routed through Mauritius from April 1 2017.

  3. Capital gains tax will be imposed at 50% or half of the domestic rate until March 31, 2019 and at the full rate thereafter.

9 Things You Should Check While Reading Stock Quotes

Monday 9 May 2016

By Kotak Securities:



Learn the elements which are important to read stock quotes.
  1. 9 Things you should check while reading Stock Quotes

  2. The stock table – available in financial papers and online – contains the information of all stocks. It can be a little confusing to understand. It has the following elements:

  3. Company name and symbol: The stock table needs space to fit in details of as many shares as possible. There is thus a space crunch. For this reason, company symbols, and not names, are used.

  4. High/low: During market hours, share prices keep changing as more trades are conducted. This is because buying makes the stock more valuable, while selling makes it less valuable. This in turn affects the share price. To give an investor a basis for comparison, the stock quote mentions the highest and lowest prices the stock hit in that day.

  5. Net change: The closing price also helps calculate how much the stock’s price has changed. This change is written in both percentage as well as absolute value format. It is calculated by subtracting today’s price from the previous closing price, and then dividing with the closing price to get the percentage change.

  6. Dividend details: Companies distribute a portion of their profits to shareholders as dividends. While an investor holds the share, dividends are the primary source of income. For long-term investors, this is of great importance.

  7. Stock price: This is the price an investor or trader pays to buy a single share of the company. This fluctuates constantly during market hours, and remains constant when markets are closed for trading.

  8. Close: Stock prices stop fluctuating once the market is shut for trading. The ‘close’ or the ‘closing price’ thus reflects the last price at which the stock traded.

  9. 52-week high/low: This shows the highest and lowest stock price in one year or 52-weeks. This too helps the investor understand the stock’s trading range over a broader period of time.

  10. PE Ratio: Some stock tables and quotes also mention the PE ratio. This is the amount an investor pays for each rupee the company earns. It is calculated by dividing the stock price with the company’s earnings per share. This is important because stock price is a market-assigned value. It largely depends on market sentiment about the stock, and hence may not be in synchronization with the share’s internal value.

  11. Volume: If a company has a stipulated number of shares floated on the exchange, not all of them may be traded in a single day. It depends on demand for the stock. This is understood in the ‘volume’ section of the stock quote, which shows how many stocks changed hands. A higher trading volume is usually followed by a significant change in the stock price.

3 Things about Helicopter Money

Monday 25 April 2016

By Kotak Securities:



Get an insight on Helicopter money & its different kinds.
  1. 3 Things you should know about Helicopter Money

  2. What is Helicopter Money? Helicopter money is a reference to an idea made popular by the American economist Milton Friedman in 1969. In the now famous paper “The Optimum Quantity of Money”, Friedman included the following parable: Let us suppose now that one day a helicopter flies over this community and drops an additional $1,000 in bills from the sky, which is, of course, hastily collected by members of the community. Let us suppose further that everyone is convinced that this is a unique event which will never be repeated.”

  3. The basic principle is that if a central bank wants to raise inflation and output in an economy that is running substantially below potential, one of the most effective tools would be simply to give everyone direct money transfers. In theory, people would see this as a permanent one-off expansion of the amount of money in circulation and would then start to spend more freely, increasing broader economic activity and pushing inflation back up to the central bank’s target.

  4. The three different kinds of helicopter: According to Kames Capital, these are the three main variations of helicopter money.
    1) The Bernanke helicopter: Discussed by former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, it involves transfers to households and businesses through a tax cut or rebate, coupled with incremental purchases of government debt. It is effectively a tax cut financed by money creation.

  5. 2) The Woodford helicopter: Discussed by economist Michael Woodford, it centres on a version of flexible inflation-targeting, in which the central bank commits future monetary policy to a permanently higher nominal target (such as the path of nominal GDP). This involves various tools within that framework, including permanent increases in the monetary base using fiscal transfers.
    3) The Turner helicopter: Discussed by former FCA chairman Lord Adair Turner, ‘Overt Monetary Financing’ means the Treasury issues interest-bearing debt, which the central bank purchases, holds and perpetually rolls-over (buying new government debt whenever the government repays old debt). The central bank also returns the interest income it receives as profit to the Treasury. Importantly, the central bank must credibly communicate and commit to this perpetual rollover in advance.

  6. So how is this different from conventional quantitative easing? Current quantitative easing (QE) programmes undertaken by central banks since the financial crisis involve large-scale purchases of assets from financial markets. These have predominantly been targeted at government bonds, but individual central banks have also bought up a range of alternative assets, including commercial debt, mortgage-backed securities and even stock market exchange traded funds. The major difference between QE as it has been carried out and helicopter drops as envisaged by Friedman is that the vast majority of purchases have been asset swaps, where a government bond is exchanged for bank reserves.

  7. While this alleviates reserve constraints in the banking sector (one possible reason for them to cut back lending) and has lowered government borrowing costs, its transmission to the real economy has been indirect and underwhelming. As such, it does not provide much bang for your buck. Direct transfers into people’s accounts, or monetary-financed tax breaks or government spending, would offer one way to increase the effectiveness of the policy by directly influencing aggregate demand rather than hoping for a trickle-down effect from financial markets.
