Separately Managed Accounts
This is a computer managed investment plan, which allocates the investment in the ratio of 75:25 between PIF (debt fund) and MCB-PSM (equity fund). This plan regularly reallocates the portfolio back to the original ratio between debt and equity investments through automated adjustments, managed by our unique software. Switching takes place whenever the NAV prices of PIF and MCB-PSM record a change of 5% compared to each other from the original prices of investment or the new base prices.
Illustration: If at the time of investment, the NAV prices of PIF and MCB-PSM are Rs.50 and Rs.90 respectively, the adjustment will be made, say if MCB-PSM rises by 6% to Rs.95.4 and PIF rises by 1% to Rs.50.50. Or in another example, MCB-PSM falls by 4% to Rs.86.40 and PIF rises by 1% to Rs.50.50. Each time the price change between the two NAVs reaches 5%, the adjustment is made and a new base price is created for future adjustments. If the relative weightage of MCB-PSM increases due to rising NAV in the booming stock market, the surplus is redeemed and invested in PIF and vice versa. Thus, in Smart Portfolio, the investment in stocks works on a simple premise of buy low and sell high, while eliminating human judgment of when to buy and sell. It cashes in the gains in MCB-PSM, when stock market rises and buys MCB-PSM when the stock market falls.
MCB Funds Smart Trader Account is a convenient means of taking a trading position in the MCB-PSM. The investors shall be able to move in and out of the position at a very low transaction cost. Surplus funds may be kept in the PIF or a non-earning account.  The investor need not worry about settlement arrangements, custodian arrangements, or collection of dividends, bonus shares, rights entitlements etc. There is a minimal load to facilitate low transaction costs. An account could be started with as little as Rs. 100,000. Individual transactions may be done with minimum of Rs. 10,000.
