Word of the Day

IDCW

It is an option in some mutual funds that distribute money to investors from time to time

It stands for Income Distribution Cum Capital Withdrawal.

IDCW was earlier called the dividend option.

It is an option that gives investors regular payouts and also lets them withdraw part of their investment.

This distribution of money depends on the fund’s performance. It is not always guaranteed. If the fund does well, you get a dividend, and if the fund does not do well, the investor might not get a payout.

Net Asset Value (NAV) of the mutual fund reduces after each distribution because the amount is deducted from the fund’s assets.

6 Day Course

Theme: red flags while choosing stocks
Day 1: Monday

While picking stocks, many investors have a list of traits that are red flags — deal breakers.

In this week’s course, we will look at some of these red flags.

Do remember, not everyone will agree with these. One investor’s red flag might be another investor’s opportunity.

High debt levels: if a company has taken large loans that it might struggle to pay back, the stock is considered risky. Debt-to-equity ratio is one of the tools used to measure this.

Increasing debt: if a company’s debt is increasing year after year while its earnings are not, an investor should become cautious.

Along similar lines, if the promoter has pledged a large number of shares (to borrow money), it can also signal high-risk.
