So how do we get the timing right... scientifically?

The answer lies in just three words, Margin of Safety!

Margin of Safety (MoS) is an investing principle in which investors purchase securities only
when their market price is significantly below their intrinsic value.

Introducing TimerSTP

The tool, powered by margin of safety, endeavours to help you avoid mistiming the market.

TimerSTP is a tool, powered by margin of safety, that determines the right time to invest more and the time to invest less in equities, with the help of Samco's proprietary Equity Margin of Safety Index (EMOSI) indicator. It helps you invest in the markets without any emotional bias, it eliminates the stress of tracking the markets constantly and endeavors to offers a higher reward/risk ratio.

Introducing TimerSTP
Source Scheme for TimerSTP

Source Scheme for TimerSTP

Samco Overnight Fund is the source scheme for TimerSTP. It is a debt fund that will invest primarily in Overnight Securities including Tri-party repo (TREPS) where the underlying collateral is government securities and treasury bills. The scheme aims to provide moderate returns at very low risk with maturity of 1 business day.

Experience the Power of EMOSI via TimerSTP

TimerSTP operates on Samco’s proprietary Equity Margin of Safety Index (EMOSI) indicator which is based on the margin of safety investing principle. It is represented by a range of values between 1-200 where 1 denotes the lowest margin of safety and 200 denotes the highest. EMOSI allows TimerSTP to transfer variable amounts ranging between 0.01X to 6X of base instalment via Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) approach from the source scheme to the target scheme depending upon the market levels and margin of safety.

TimerSTP Multiplier Value based on EMOSI

0.01X* – 6X of base instalment

TimerSTP transfers variable amounts from source scheme to target scheme based on the EMOSI value ranging between 1 to 200. As EMOSI value increases TimerSTP increases the equity allocation up to 6X of the base instalment and as EMOSI value decreases it limits the equity allocation as low as 0.01X* of the base instalment.

*Up to 0.01X or Rs.100, whichever is higher.

When markets are low,TimerSTP invests aggressively

When the markets are high EMOSI allows TimerSTP to “invest cautiously” i.e. deduct lower multiples (up to 0.01X) * of the base instalment from the source scheme, thus minimising the equity exposure. Similarly, when markets are low, TimerSTP “invests aggressively” i.e deducts higher multiples (up to 6X) of the base instalment from the source scheme and transfers it to the target scheme, ensuring maximum equity exposure.

For 36 month STP, 12 month STP and TimerSTP, Ending value are based on total return of source scheme i.e. Crisil Short Term Fund Index and Target Scheme - NIFTY 50. The above returns are of benchmark/index and do not indicate returns of any scheme. The lumpsum investment amount is Rs. 12,00,000 in Source Fund (Crisil Short Term Bond Index Fund) transferred through monthly Timer STP to Nifty50 Index.

FAQ’s

What is TimerSTP and how does it work?

SAMCO’s Timer Systematic Transfer Plan (TimerSTP / TSTP) is a solution wherein unit holder(s) can choose to transfer variable amount(s) from ‘Source Scheme’ to the ‘Target Equity Scheme’ at pre-defined intervals. TimerSTP will invest more when the markets are attractive and below their intrinsic value, similarly invest less when the markets are high and expensive. The amount(s) of transfer to the Target Scheme will be linked to the Equity Margin of Safety Index (EMOSI) as computed by the AMC on the date of respective transfer.

What is the eligibility criteria to begin TimerSTP?

An investor must maintain minimum balance/ investment of Rs. 25,000/- in the opted source scheme at the time of registration of TimerSTP.

What is the Base Installment Amount?

The Base Installment Amount is the installment amount that is mentioned while registering for TimerSTP. Minimum base instalment amount is Rs 1000 and in multiples of Re 1, but this is bare minimum amount, however it is recommended to mention base installment as 1/12 of the total amount to be transferred to the Target Equity Scheme. The processing of installment amount will be based on opted date/ day of multiplier of EMOSI value in case the base computation amount is less than Rs. 100, then the installment will be considered as Rs. 100. If arrived amount is in decimals the same will be rounding off in nearest rupee. For example, if an investor has invested Rs. 120,000 in source scheme, he can mention Rs. 10,000 (1/12 of target investment in the Equity Scheme) as base installment for monthly frequency of TimerSTP.

What is the Multiplier?

The Multiplier is the “Number of Times” of the installment amount to be transferred to target equity scheme. It will be within the range of “0.01X” to “6X” of the base installment. For example, If Investor registered TimerSTP with the base installment of Rs. 10,000, the multiplier amount can be from Rs. 100 (0.01X multiplier) to Rs. 60,000 (6X multiplier).

How is the multiplier decided?

The amount of transfer to the target equity scheme is based on the latest Equity Margin of Safety Index (EMOSI) levels which is a proprietary model of Samco Asset Management Pvt Limited (the AMC). However, in any case the TimerSTP instalment amount will not exceed 6x of the base instalment amount as per the multiplier selected.

What is EMOSI?

Equity Margin of Safety Index (EMOSI) levels computed by the AMC is a proprietary model of Samco Asset Management Pvt Limited (the AMC). The EMOSI is derived by assigning different weights such as Price to Earnings (PE), G-sec yields, moving average divergences and / or other fundamental and technical factors as may be determined by the AMC from time to time.

What are the frequencies available under TimerSTP?

The investors have option of Weekly, Monthly and Quarterly frequency for transfer of funds from the eligible source schemes to eligible target equity schemes.

What would happen if investor doesn't provide the ‘Number of installments’ or ‘End Date’ in the form?

In such a case the TimerSTP will be registered (the default) till December 31, 2099.
