Online BusinessSmart Portfolios shine in holiday week
The Smart Portfolios registered healthy gains last week in line with a pull back in the broader markets. The benchmark index, S&P CNX 500, was up 3.61 per cent in the holiday-shortened week. An investment of Rs 10 lakh at the start of the Smart Portfolios on September 1, 2009, is today valued at Rs 11.20 lakh, an appreciation of almost 12 per cent. This week, barring Praveen Panjwani, other three fund managers were able to match the benchmark’s return.

The overall picture is, however, mixed. Ajay Parmar and Amar Ambani have outperformed the benchmark with a 5-6 per cent margin. While Parmar’s net worth is up 18 per cent, Ambani’s portfolio value has appreciated by 16.74 per cent. Phani Sekhar’s performance is mostly in line with the benchmark, considering the fact that he joined Smart Portfolios on September 18, 2009, post which the benchmark has gained 6.3 per cent as against his returns of 5.93 per cent. Praveen Panjwani, however, lags in terms of returns.
