With the exception of Ajay Parmar, fund managers found it difficult to negotiate the volatile markets. The Smart Portfolios benchmark, the S&P CNX 500 rose by 0.75 per cent during the week. An investment of Rs 10 lakh in the benchmark at the start of Season II on September 1, 2009, is today valued at Rs 10.80 lakh, a gain of 8 per cent.
Ajay Parmar has out-performed the benchmark by a wide margin. His net worth now stands at Rs 11.12 lakh, up 11.17 per cent since inception. Amar Ambani performance is in line with that of the benchmark with portfolio value having appreciated by 7.37 per cent to Rs 10.74 lakh. Phani Sekhar and Praveen Panjwani, however, currently lag the benchmark with net returns of around a per cent each.
In the week under review, Ajay Parmar's portfolio value surged by 3.06 per cent, and Praveen Panjwani's net worth grew by 0.80 per cent. While Amar Ambani's net worth remained unchanged, Phani Sekhar saw a marginal (0.59 per cent) dip in his portfolio value.
