Why You Do Not Need to Worry about Investments in HDFC MF Schemes Post Milind Barve’s Tenure

 


HDFC Mutual Fund on November 16, 2020, informed stock exchanges about the appointment of Navneet Munot as the MD and CEO of the company. Munot will be succeeding Milind Barve, the current and longest-serving CEO and MD, when his term ends on January 31, 2021.


Barve’s current term officially ended on October 31, 2020, and he had expressed his desire to turn down a term extension because he is turning 63 this year. However, he agreed to an extension of term for an additional three months to provide adequate time to identify a suitable successor and ensure smooth transition and functioning of business operations.

Barve who has served as MD of HDFC Mutual Fund (MF) since its inception about two decades ago has played a key role in the growth and success of its business. Over this period, the fund house grew considerably to become one of the largest and most popular in the mutual fund industry.

During his term, the company was listed on stock exchanges, becoming only the second asset management company in India to do so.

HDFC Mutual Fund’s popularity grew leaps and bounds in the minds of investors due to strong performance of its various schemes in the past. Its asset under management now stands at Rs 3.7 trillion (as on October 31, 2020), second only to SBI Mutual Fund.

Should investors in HDFC mutual fund schemes worry about Barve's exit?

Over the past couple of years, numerous HDFC MF schemes that were once popular have been struggling to keep pace with the benchmark and have lagged many category peers. A change in senior management team could prove to be beneficial for the fund house.

Navneet Munot, stepping into the shoes of Barve, brings with him an immense experience of over 25 years in the fund management business. Munot has been the CIO of SBI Mutual Fund for the past 12 years and was previously associated with Aditya Birla Sunlife Mutual Fund as the CIO of Fixed Income and Hybrid Funds.

Munot took charge as CIO of SBI MF in December 2008 when the fund house was adversely impacted following the global financial crisis. He was successful in steering the fund house and its investment process to stability. SBI MF now manages assets worth Rs 4.3 trillion (as on October 31, 2020), the largest in the industry.

During his term, SBI won the mandate to manage funds of EPFO which coupled with decent performance across categories helped it become the largest asset manager. SBI MF became among the first to adopt the environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) as well as passive themes of investing during this term.

Munot's entrance in the HDFC team can therefore be seen as a positive development and is not likely to affect the robust investment process and systems that HDFC MF has in place.

Notably, HDFC MF still has star fund managers in Prashant Jain (CIO & ED) and Chirag Setalvad (Senior Fund Manager), known for their superior long-term performance record and high conviction investment bets.



What does it mean for investors in SBI MF schemes?

SBI MF has not yet announced a replacement for Munot, but the fund house seems to be well prepared to deal with his exit. Vinay Tonse, MD and CEO, SBI Funds Management in an address to media said, "The fund management structure at SBI Funds Management will continue to remain the same, as the company over a period of time has built a very capable second line with strong vintage."

What should investors do in the event of change in management?

A change in management team does not warrant any portfolio action. You should only look for alternatives if you find the performance of a fund unsatisfactory over a longer duration, based on qualitative and quantitative parameters.

Apart from the consistent underperformance of the scheme, listed below are the other circumstances when one can consider exiting their equity mutual fund scheme:
  • Your investment has grown to the desired corpus
     
  • To gradually shift to safer avenues when your financial goal is approaching
     
  • During portfolio rebalancing to maintain the desired asset allocation
     
  • The fund objective changes and is no longer in congruence with your own objective
     
  • The fund risk profile changes and doesn't match your current risk appetite
     
  • In case of a financial emergency when you have no other option
     
  • You wish to adopt change in investment style (value, growth, blend, aggressive, conservative, etc.)
It is important to understand the investment philosophy of the fund house and investment processes they follow. Only process-driven fund houses can give you consistent performers over the long term.

Furthermore, before making an investment decision, evaluate your investment objective, risk appetite, and investment horizon to select the appropriate scheme based on unbiased research.
