Mirae Asset Mutual Fund has come out with a new fund offer, specific to the countries of India and China, and claims to benefit from growth potential of the companies which will be generating their business and profits from the consumption in these 2 large countries.

The NFO period for Mirae India-China Consumption Fund will open on March 9th, 2011 and will close on 23 March 2011.
What is so unique about this Mirae Asset India-China Consumption Fund?
In terms of the name and focus sector of this fund, this Mirae India-China Consumption Fund does sound to be unique. As of now, we are not aware of any other fund which is focussing on companies deriving business and revenue from the ever growing consumption needs from these 2 countries, hence this fund might be unique in that sense.
It primary focus will be consumption and related sectors for these 2 countries. The underlying assumption is that people of these 2 countries have increasing earning power and that will fuel the growth of the companies in the consumption sector hence this will be a niche area to invest. The middle class has growth potential, the urbanisation is happening at a rapid pace and rising incomes of the large population will ensure the growth continues to see big leaps. Whether this assumption continues to hold for your investment period, will be a question to look for.

Multiple options available for investments:

One more thing to note is that majority of the capital allocated will be to Indian Companies - around 65%-90%. Rest 10%-35% will be to Chinese Companies. SO investors might end up owning a fund which primarily is into Indian Equities only, if the fund managers decide to go by 90% Indian companies investment. Then this fund might loose its uniqueness of India China Fund. Investors must keep an eye on the fund holdings, if they are really looking for an India-China fund.

Final Thoughts about Mirae India-China Consumption Fund?
This is a completely new sector in terms of geographical coverage. However, I would have been more pleased had the India-China allocation had been 50-50. As of now, at the current allocation, it is possible that this fund ends up holding only Indian companies, which will let it loose the uniqueness. Investors who believe in India China Growth story and believe that Mirae Asset Fund Managers will be able to generate good returns maintaining a right balance between India and Chinese holdings, can give it a shot
