markets Art Analysis Trade Experts Celebrity Cycling T+0 a minus for brokers on Diwali Day

Mumbai: Spare a thought this Diwali for stockbrokers and their staff—they’re feeling a little less cheery this festive season. Blame it on T+0, also known as same-day settlement, and other reforms. Every year, the start of the Hindu calendar year is marked by the Muhurat trading session, a bit of Diwali ceremony carried over from the days of open outcry. Brokers and their employees had asked the BSE and NSE to advance the hour-long session to 10-11 in the morning from the traditional 6-7 pm, as this would allow them to complete post-trading operations by noon and give them enough time to celebrate Diwali with their families on Lakshmi Puja. That request has been rejected by the exchanges, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

markets Strategy wellness Experts performer track rights ET In The Classroom: Evaluating MF returns

mutual funds over the last one year. These as well as existing investors are keen to track the performance of their mutual fund portfolio. Since the net asset value (NAV) is declared every working day, it is easy to track performance over both short and long periods of time. WHAT ARE THE FACTORS TO LOOK AT WHILE EVALUATING RETURNS OF A MUTUAL FUND? Financial planners believe investors should not just look at returns in isolation, but should look at many other factors while evaluating performance. An important thing would be to compare rolling returns with the right schemes and peers, study expense ratio, look at statistical factors like standard deviation and beta. They should also be looking at fund manager tenure. HOW SHOULD ONE COMPARE SCHEME RETURNS WITH PEERS? The right way to look at your scheme returns is to compare it with the benchmark and peers. For example, a large-cap equity scheme’s performance should be compared with the Nifty 50 or Nifty 100 and not with the Nifty Smallcap 250 or other mid- or small-cap schemes. Similarly, returns from equity mutual funds should not be compared with fixed income or gold funds. A largecap active fund must be compared with another peer in the same category. If the average return from the largecap category over three years is 20% annualised and your scheme has returned 14%, it indicates your fund is not faring well. Financial planners feel a fund has performed well when it does better than its benchmark and category. If there are 10 funds in the category and the fund is amongst the bottom three, and not able to beat category average, it indicates that there are better funds out there.

markets UPS Research Trade Experts show Banks leaned more on short-term debt for funding needs this fiscal

certificates of deposits (CDs) jumped 69% on-year to ₹5.58 lakh crore in FY25 up to October 4, as lenders turned to short-term debt instruments for their funding needs instead of raising deposit rates and facing pressure on net interest margins. In its October bulletin, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said primary market issuances of CDs by banks were at ₹5.58 lakh crore from April 1 to October 4. The RBI noted that banks preferred to bridge a funding gap through short-term debt instruments «rather than raising deposit rates.» Banks have faced pressure to mobilise funds through various avenues over the past couple of years as credit growth has outpaced deposit growth, although the extent of the wedge between the two has narrowed over the last couple of months. As on October 4, bank credit growth was at 14.1% year-on-year, while deposit growth was at 12.2% over the same period, RBI data showed.

markets Digital Strategy economy Experts PAM show As North America gains traction, IT companies note softness in Europe

Europe was a bright spot for the Indian IT industry's growth when its chips were down. But as North America has started gaining traction for the IT services industry, the other side of the pond has begun to show signs of softness for many of the top IT companies. Experts also say Europe is facing a decelerating economy which is unlikely to improve in the near future and, hence, clients are pulling back hard on discretionary spends and looking to delay large projects. While IT leaders' commentaries on Europe didn't reflect on their Q2 numbers, analysts say they are largely reflective of deal pipelines and will show in coming quarters. Infosys in its Q2 earnings call said that in Europe, the automotive sector was challenged recently while discretionary spend remains under pressure.
